Commercial Supply Co is your source for burlap paving covers used for the curing of concrete. The Des Moines-based company has been providing burlap to bridge and paving companies for decades with a team who’s worked in the industry for over 75 years.
Why is Commercial Supply Co the best option for sourcing burlap?
The Des Moines-based company has been providing burlap to contractors for decades and is the Midwest-expert for sourcing burlap, especially for concrete curing. The company works with respected sources in Asia to bring in burlap bales that are then measured and sewn into concrete paving covers (also called concrete blankets) by a skilled team onsite. This allows the company to ensure quality, manufacture custom sizes and offer competitive pricing.
Commercial Supply Co. started out in the textile business, creating covers, bags and other items for a variety of industries ranging from concrete to agriculture. The team STILL does this work with fabrics that include burlap, cotton, and canvas.
How does the Commercial Supply Co create burlap concrete paving covers?
First, we understand the customer needs dependent on project size and application. The team breaks down a burlap bale and measures the burlap to the specific length and width. The burlap is carefully measured and cut. Then the blanket is created by sewing two pieces of measured burlap together to create a durable cover. These finished covers are typically bundled in bales of 25 and palletized 100 to a pallet to optimize freight costs.
Why is burlap a good material to cure concrete?
Burlap is made from jute fibers and is a go-to material for many applications due to its durability and breathability. Burlap is an excellent material to use for curing concrete as it helps to retain moisture, promotes uniform hydration, and also controls temperature fluctuations during the curing process. This insulation helps to avoid cracking or other surface defects.
Can burlap paving covers be used again?
Burlap can be used multiple times. When the material is properly cleaned and stored it can last through several concrete curing cycles, allowing it to be a cost-effective option for companies.
