Introduction
  • Here in this PPT, we have mentioned some easy
    steps which will provide the help to you in doing
    Concrete work.

Hire Concrete Contractors
  • Hire Concrete Contractors for the Concrete Work.
    They will help you in guiding the work with easy
    techniques and process.
  • Concrete Contractors have a idea of how much time
    will be consumed and the estimate budget can be
    set with their help.

Initial Leveling
  • Pour the concrete - If you are unfamiliar with
    pouring concrete, follow the linked instructions
    to ensure you do so correctly. Be ready to move
    on to the next steps as soon as you pour.
  • Compress the concrete only if necessary
  • Place a 2x4 across the concrete

Finishing, Stage One
  • Immediately level and prepare further using a
    bull float - The bull float is a flat,
    long-handled tool used to flatten minor ridges
    and holes, as well as embed aggregate particles
    further into the concrete, bringing the smoother
    "cream" consistency concrete to the surface for
    better finishing.
  • Tidy the corners using a smaller tool.
  • Cut grooves into your concrete.
  • Wait for the concrete to partially dry.

Finishing, Stage Two
  • Smooth and compact the surface once again with a
    hand float - This is the final smoothing,
    bringing the more consistent "cream" of the
    concrete to the surface for a level, durable
    finish. Different materials will provide
    different effects.
  • Consider a trowel finish - Many people skip
    troweling if they plan to broom, as it only
    results in minor improvement in that scenario.
  • Try a broom finish - Most people end with a broom
    finish to create a non-slip surface. You can do
    this with or without a preceding trowel finish.

Cure The Concrete
  • The final drying process of concrete takes
    several weeks, and if "cured" at the correct rate
    minimizes the chance of later damage.
  • The simplest method is to wet the concrete's
    surface and cover it with plastic sheeting. Weigh
    down the sheet's edges with heavy objects.
  • There are many other ways to keep the concrete
    wet, but these tend to require more water or
    maintenance than plastic.
  • You must take advice from the Concrete Work
    Contractors for better results.

Seal The Concrete
  • After the concrete has cured for at least a
    month, use a concrete sealer to make it resistant
    to liquid damage and easy to clean
  • Clean the slab well before applying sealant.
  • Apply thinly to avoid puddles. If needed, wait a
    couple hours (or as the label instructs you),
    then apply a second layer perpendicular to the
    first.
  • Allow sealant to dry completely before walking
    over or placing anything onto the concrete. Wait
    three days before allowing vehicle traffic.
