Carpet Over New Concrete
Trying to figure out a schedule and came across a question. How long after concrete is poured approx. 6" can you put down a glue down carpet?

Re: Carpet Over New Concrete
That's a good question..I have never had to answer it because any time I have needed to have carpet put down on concrete it has had PLENTY of time to dry.

Re: Carpet Over New Concrete
Lay the carpet down on it as soon as you can walk on it. Then wait 21 days and install it.

Re: Carpet Over New ConcreteQuote:
How long ago has the concrete been poured? Can you run the A/C to help with the humidity? |
