Cold Weather Concrete using Fox Blocks
8 Tips for Pouring Concrete in Cold Weather and in Winter
Can you build and pour concrete in cold weather?
Yes. The forms insulate the concrete and enhance the curing process. The top of the forms, or exposed concrete areas will need to be covered, temporarily, with insulation to prevent the exposed concrete from freezing. Fox Blocks projects can be constructed any time of the year, no delays for cold weather.
Properly Placing The Concrete
Depending on the forms’ size and the concrete core width, the concrete aggregate size and slump should be adjusted accordingly. The ultimate goal is to get the correct compressive strength for the concrete as specified.
What is the Concrete Temperature Limit?
Concrete is a versatile and durable construction material that is predominantly used in both commercial and residential structures. It’s essential to understand concrete’s thermal properties, specifically its temperature limits, to optimize its strength and durability.
