The Ultimate Guide to Protecting Your Concrete with Foam Frost Blankets

Pouring concrete during cold weather poses unique difficulties that require additional planning and materials. Fresh concrete needs consistent, above-freezing temperatures while curing. Foam frost blankets from SDG provide an ideal cost-effective solution, Foam Frost Blankets.

What Are Foam Frost Blankets?

Foam Frost blankets are made from resilient, closed-cell foam that provides excellent thermal insulation. The lightweight material is easy to handle on-site and can be reused many times. Frost blankets from Miers are impervious to water and chemicals, protecting concrete while it cures.

How Do Frost Blankets Work?

Insulation maintains temperatures above 10°C under the blankets. This allows concrete to cure properly despite freezing air temperatures.

Blankets also limit moisture loss from concrete, preventing cracks from too-fast drying.

The foam material blocks wind chill and retains heat from the exothermic concrete curing reaction.

Using Frost Blankets On-Site

• Roll out blankets over poured concrete after the initial “going-off” period.
• Overlap seams by at least 300mm to prevent gaps.
• Weigh edges down with bricks, timber, etc. to keep blankets in place.
• Leave in place for the full recommended curing time.
• Frost blankets can be reused many times on multiple jobs.
