    Rain on fresh poured concrete

    The problem is that, at the moment, the top of the concrete is only one course below the DPC of the house, so I'm extremely wary of raising the floor level by much. Admittedly the shed should be reasonably watertight - the roof is flashbanded to the brickwork, and the base has been sealed to the...

    Rain on fresh poured concrete

    DIYedboy, Thanks for pointing that out - it looks ideal for what I want. Unfortunately, it's not cheap - for the surface area I'm dealing with, it would cost somewhere in the region of £630. It would actually be cheaper to buy some cheap vinyl flooring! Not as suitable as Flowtop, admittedly...

    Rain on fresh poured concrete

    I can't add too much depth - that would take the floor level too close to the house DPC. The shed is a lean-to construction. Since we're meant to be having work done inside the house in the next few months, and then completely redecorating, I guess I could recycle the large areas of...

So, assuming noseall is right (which I'm prone to do, since his is the least doom-laden verdict :) ), where do I go from here? I have a shed floor with a dusting problem - is there some way to resolve it? Do...

    Rain on fresh poured concrete

    Tony, The area was split in two, with a shuttering board from side to side - so the rear area is probably around 13' long, tapering from 11' to 10' wide, while the front area is around 17' long, tapering from 13' to 11' wide. I am pretty certain that no mesh was used. This is for a shed, not...

    Rain on fresh poured concrete

    I originaly asked this question in the Flooring forum, but didn't get an answer - perhaps it's more of a Building question... Just over two weeks ago, builders poured a concrete slab for a large shed alongside my house - approximate dimensions 30' long, 13' wide at one end narrowing to 10'...

    Rain on fresh poured concrete

    Just under two weeks ago, builders poured a concrete slab for a large shed alongside my house - approximate dimensions 30' long, 13' wide at one end narrowing to 10' wide at the other. The ground was prepared with shuttering and around a 3" layer of loose gravel before the concrete was poured on...
