After bullfloating a concrete slab, what is the next sequence step?

After bullfloating a concrete slab, the next step in the sequence is power troweling. Bullfloating helps to smooth out the surface and embed larger aggregates, while power troweling further refines the finish by producing a denser and smoother surface. This process involves using a power trowel, which can efficiently cover large areas and provide a professional-grade finish.

Power troweling not only aids in achieving the desired flatness and finish on the concrete slab but also helps in sealing the surface and improving the longevity of the concrete. This step often occurs once the concrete has set up sufficiently to withstand the weight of the equipment without causing excessive marring.

Following power troweling, additional finishing steps, like final finishing (which often involves hand troweling or applying a finishing compound), might be performed, but these occur after the power troweling stage. The specific sequence is crucial in concrete work to ensure optimal results in both aesthetic and structural integrity.
