Blocks must be kept moist and at a stable temperature for a minimum of 7 days to achieve sufficient strength. Full strength (28-day strength) is typically reached after 28 days under proper conditions. Steam curing chambers in automatic plants accelerate this to 24 hours or less.\">Curing is the process where the cement hydrates and gains strength.
