The Necessity of Wet Curing Blankets in the Summer Months

Why Your Concrete Needs Extra Protection in the Summer

 

As summer heats up, so does the risk of concrete curing too quickly. For contractors, construction crews, and anyone working with fresh pours, high temperatures can lead to cracking, uneven surfaces, and reduced strength. That’s where Wet Curing Blankets from Eagle Industries come in, offering an easy, effective way to protect your concrete in hot weather.

 

 

Why the Summer Heat Affects Concrete Curing

 

 

Concrete cures as water reacts with cement to harden the mix. But in high heat, that moisture can evaporate too quickly, leading to surface shrinkage, cracking, and reduced durability. Without the right protection, your concrete may not reach its full strength or long-term performance.

 

How Wet Curing Blankets Help

 

Eagle’s Wet Curing Blankets are designed to retain water and release it slowly, helping concrete stay hydrated even in direct sun. Their reflective poly coating also helps block UV rays and excess heat.

 

Benefits include:

 

  • Moisture retention for consistent curing
  • Protection from heat and sun to slow evaporation
  • Crack prevention from shrinkage or uneven drying
  • Improved strength and durability long term

 

Built for Summer Conditions

 

Made with heavy-duty synthetic fabric and a reflective coating, our blankets are tough enough for hot, windy jobsites. They’re easy to install, stay in place, and are effective across a variety of projects—from commercial slabs to decorative concrete pours.

 

Tips for Best Use

 

To get the best results from your wet curing blankets:

  • Fully cover the surface to avoid patchy curing
  • Keep the blankets moist and make sure to check them regularly in hot or windy weather
  • Be ready to add water if temperatures spike suddenly


 

The bottom line?

 

Eagle Industries’ Wet Curing Blankets are engineered for performance in demanding summer conditions. They’re durable, reliable, and built to support the success of your project, no matter the size.
