Wdravstvuyte, dear subscribers and new readers of my channel Build-built!
Hand most of our Motherland warm weather, and together started the construction season and with her. However, many self builders (and semi-brigade) forget or just do not know about some of the nuances of pouring concrete in the early summer.
In this article, you prosvyaschu and prevented from building easy!
Nuance first.
IN early summer, the average amplitude of the temperature fluctuations is quite serious. at night can be 7 degrees during the day - 26 (19 degrees difference). And this means concrete that you have filled in the afternoon and left to freeze at night will be subject to these temperature fluctuations.
I The Council, after pouring concrete in the daytime cover its translucent film - to cement milk does not evaporate from the body of concrete in the heat.
Do not forget every 2-3 hours to spray the concrete with water!
BUT that at night concrete is not affected by temperature reduction cover its upper portion and an additional layer of film in the presence of the foam layer.
IN the most extreme case I advise you to organize again (when the night temperature is below 5 degrees) concrete artificial heating: electric heater installed on a film, or at least a powerful spotlight in 400-500 watts. This will save from hypothermia concrete and deformation.
