The best cold weather solution for curing concrete, thawing frozen ground, and melting ice & snow.

Speedcrete heated blankets utilizes innovatie heat spreading technology which acts as a wet cure, completely eliminating cracking and defects. It accelerates curing time in both cold and warm weather conditions. The lightweight heated blankets are easy to transport in and out of basements, drape over water pipes, walls, and batch plants. Use bottom side up to prevent accumulation of snow and ice on driveways, roofs, materials, entry and walk ways. Perfect for curing precast concrete, footings, foundations, asphalt and blacktop, curbs, gutters, and driveways. Daisy chain together to cover large areas. Built in thermostats keep temperature at precise levels.

What does "concrete curing" mean?

Great care must be taken while curing concrete to ensure maximum concrete strength and durability. It's one of the most important steps in concrete construction! Concrete hardens when hydration (the chemical reaction between cement and water) takes place. It is therefore important that fresh concrete stay within a specific temperature range during the concrete curing process in order for hydration to occur during the 5-7 days that follow pouring.

Does temperature have an effect on new concrete?

Absolutely! If the outside temperature is too high, water used in hydration will evaporate and cause the concrete to lose constitution. On the other hand, extremely cold weather will bring the process to a halt because the water will not be reacting with the cement. The general rule of thumb is that new concrete should be maintained above 11 degrees celcius for the entire curing process.

Why does concrete crack?

Just like any other substance, concrete expands when it dries out. If the drying takes place too quickly or under excessive heat, the structural integrity of the compound will be comrpomised. It is for this reason that contractors put spaces between slabs of concrete allowing for the natural expansion. On the other hand, cold weather can also result in cracked concrete. By using Powerblanket, you maintain optimum PSI levels in concrete while it cures, eliminating many of these problems.
