We will need to know where your project is, how much square feet, the depth at which it needs to be poured at, and what type of product you are looking for. If you are unsure of what product you would like, we will happily give you an estimate for each so that you can compare them.

The length of drying time will depend on many factors, such as the weather outside, and could take as short as one week, or as long as one month. When using Gypsum concrete the radiant heat tubes can be turned on the same day. The faster Gypsum concrete dries the harder the floor will be.

A heat inhibitor is used so the Gypsum concrete does not break down over time. Do not allow a contractor to do an installation without using one of these three products.

Lightweight concrete has no R-value because of the amount of aggregate, therefore it is not very strong.
