Length - 04:07 In a new home with new concrete floors, the timeline before a decorative treatment can be installed will vary greatly, depending on the circumstances. Although the concrete will cure in about seven days, Harris prefers to wait until after all drywall is installed, taped and sanded before applying a decorative treatment, to avoid potential damage from other trades.
