Retains Moisture For A Better Concrete Finish! Sandbaggy burlap concrete curing blankets, also known as burlene or curelap, use the wet cure method of curing concrete, which is an inexpensive and effective way to cure concrete. Our curing blankets are made from a combination of burlap fabric, which is laminated onto a white polyethylene fabric. Why use burlap for concrete curing? This combination of burlap and white polyethylene slows down the curing process and helps retain moisture in the concrete, resulting in a smoother, harder concrete finish! Burlap helps keep the cement wet, while the white poly fabric reflects sunlight to reduce evaporation. Order Sandbaggy burlap concrete curing blankets for sale as low as $49 per roll! They meet US DOT specs, and are packaged for easy transport. They are available in rolls of 10 ft wide and up to 100 ft in length. Sandbaggy carries a variety of concrete forming supplies. Specs Material: Burlap / polyethylene (5-mil polyethylene fabric and 10-ounce burlap laminated together) Thickness: Burlap - 10 oz polyethylene - 5 Mil Sizes: 10 ft x 10 ft/roll or 100 sq ft 10 ft x 20 ft/roll or 200 sq ft 10 ft x 50 ft/roll or 500 sq ft 10 ft x 100 ft/roll or 1000 sq ft Color: Brown / White Reusable Concrete Types: newly poured semi-hardened Features The Most Inexpensive Cement Blanket to Cure Concrete: The burlap will help evenly distribute water over the freshly poured concrete while the UV-treated white polyethylene will reflect potentially damaging rays from the sun. Burlap is Ideal for Hot Dry Environments: Burlap can be sprayed with water and is a naturally moisture retaining and water absorbent material. Using wet burlap on concrete is best suited for hot, dry (low humidity) weather conditions, where evaporation of moisture from the surface of the concrete can occur rapidly. Strengthens Concrete While Preventing Cracking: The combination of polyethylene and burlap allows concrete to remain wet for a longer period of time. The increased moisture content strengthens the concrete and reduces the likelihood of cracks later on Great For Construction! Meets US DOT Specs: fully compliant with the concrete curing blanket requirements of the AASHTO M-182 specification and DOT requirements. Packaged for Easy Transport: packaged in 5-foot wide rolls for transport, which can be unrolled to the full 10 feet when on site. Description Concrete curing blanket, also called curelap or burlene, is the most inexpensive way to cure concrete. Sandbaggy's curelap blankets are UV treated to lengthen the usable life of the blankets.From road infrastructure projects to building retaining walls, burlene blankets allow for the ideal 'wet cure' technique for curing concrete. Installation Tips Place the curing blanket onto the freshly poured concrete, with burlap side down (touching the concrete) and the poly side up. To maximize the strength of the concrete, re-wet the burlap every 1-2 days. When curing concrete, allow for a minimum of 3 dry days after blanket installation before removing the blankets After using the blankets, dry out the burlap side of the curelap. You can do so by leaving it out in the sun. FAQ What are concrete curing blankets? Concrete curing blankets are covers that are placed over newly poured concrete to maintain a consistent temperature and moisture level during the curing process. They are available in a variety of types, the most popular are made from polyethylene or polypropylene and filled with insulating foam. How long do you keep burlap curing blankets on concrete? We recommend covering your newly poured concrete for 3-7 days with our burlap concrete curing blankets. Note that times will vary depending on the specific requirements of the project, the environmental conditions, type of concrete, and thickness of the slab. Temperature Range for Concrete Curing? Ideally you want to cure concrete in a temperature between 50°F - 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Avoid using concrete blankets in very cold temperatures ( below 40°F or 4.4°C) or very hot temperatures (above 90°F - 32°C). In extreme temperatures, using concrete blankets can cause freezing or drying out too quickly, both of which prevent the concrete from curing properly.
