Type 1L concrete is changing the game in sustainable construction—but it’s not without its challenges. While this eco-friendly alternative reduces carbon emissions, it also introduces new complexities in placement, finishing, and long-term durability. From slower strength development to increased porosity, contractors are seeing firsthand how these changes can impact performance. The key to success? Proper curing and sealing. Without it, surfaces become vulnerable to scaling, cracking, and premature deterioration—making the right products and processes more critical than ever.
