Concrete curing blankets have long been seen as a necessary evil - with the choices being to either use them to protect the concrete in cold weather, or risk significant spalling damage to the concrete surfaces during the construction process.
Unfortunately, these blankets are far from the ideal choice - and lead to all sorts of scheduling issues, added costs, and piled-on challenges for the foreman to consider during construction.
Instead of using concrete blankets, we recommend using Concrete Treat™ - a spray-on concrete sealer that eliminates the need for concrete blankets, while adding value and quality to the final product.
For more information, please call us at 855-906-5851, and speak with one of our representatives, or check out our online store. We welcome international orders by phone, and currently have opportunities for distributors available.
Common problems associated with concrete blankets include the following:
Most importantly, these curing blankets mean extra steps - which means longer production and a less profitable construction project.
Applying water-based Concrete Treat eliminates the need for concrete blankets by creating a glasslike silicate barrier deep within the pores of the concrete. This barrier is completely invisible, and will not change the appearance, feel, or texture of the concrete. However, water that lands on the concrete will bead up like mercury instead of being absorbed into the concrete, where it would normally freeze and potentially lead to spalling concrete.

"The application process was simple - more simple than any other concrete sealer I have ever tried. The dry time was about 30 minutes in 76 degree (F) weather and about an hour in 65 degrees. We had foot traffic in 2 hours and rain in 18 but the sealant held up and is still holding strong!
Unlike other sealants, it does not make the surface slippery when wet, so we confidently applied to every stair tread in the complex.

This barrier will last for years -- providing a vapor barrier that will eliminate the need for plastic vapor barriers and will eliminate vapor transmission through foundation walls, if applied on those surfaces. This will drastically simplify the building process, eliminating steps and the need to keep additional materials on hand.
Additionally, because the product applies in an a non-visible coat, it can be used for exterior damp proofing - all the way to the top of the wall!
