Low Curling/Crack Resistant Concrete

There are new products in the market that can be added to concrete that can reduce the biggest problems owners have with floors. While cracking is impossible to avoid, much can be done to keep what cracks there are non-actionable. By non-actionable, we mean they are so narrow that no remediation is necessary.

A strategy we use to reduce curling and cracking is to minimize the total water and cement in a floor mix. We do this without sacrificing finishing quality or set time. Concrete shrinks when it hardens. This shrinkage causes cracks. If the concrete strength is great enough or the shrinkage is small enough, cracks will be minimized.
