Best Practices for Pouring Ready-Mix Concrete in Winter
Winter Concrete Solutions by Bathurst Ready Mix
When temperatures drop, concrete construction requires specialized care. Bathurst Ready Mix delivers top-tier winter-ready concrete solutions across East York Toronto, Aurora, King, Oshawa, and the GTA. Whether you're searching for "concrete near me" or "ready-mix concrete suppliers," our expertise ensures durable and high-quality results in any season.
Why Winter Concrete Requires Special Attention
Concrete curing involves a chemical reaction that slows in cold temperatures. If concrete freezes before curing, it can lose up to 50% of its strength, jeopardizing the stability of your project. Protecting your concrete during sub-zero temperatures is critical for structural integrity.
Winter-Ready Concrete: Key Tips and Techniques
To ensure success, Bathurst Ready Mix employs proven strategies for winter concrete pours:
Ground Preparation: We never pour on frozen ground. Instead, we use concrete blankets or black plastic to preheat the area.
Enhanced Mix Design: Our ready-mix solutions include additives like accelerators, extra cement, and hot water to improve curing times and strength.
Curing Protection: Post-pour, we recommend insulation blankets or straw coverings to prevent freezing and ensure proper curing for at least five days.
