How long does cement take to dry?

Cement typically takes 24 to 48 hours to set enough for light foot traffic, but full curing can take 28 days. Drying time depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and the cement mix used. Specialist options may have different curing times, so it’s always best to check the manufacturer’s instructions.
