Reclaimed Burlap Bags for Concrete Curing & Construction

Contractors have trusted reclaimed burlap bags for decades as a simple, durable way to cure concrete and protect work in progress. Burlap holds moisture where it matters, breathes to prevent surface damage, and stands up to rough site conditions better than thin plastic or paper products.

Why Burlap Excels in Curing

Curing concrete is about retaining consistent moisture and temperature. Burlap does both: it soaks water evenly, covers large pours, and reduces cracking and surface dusting. Unlike plastic sheeting, burlap won’t trap heat unevenly or blow loose in high winds.

Construction Applications

  • Curing Blankets: Saturated burlap maintains moisture for slabs, sidewalks, and vertical pours.

  • Surface Protection: Lay burlap over finished work to shield from debris, dust, and sun.

  • Dust Control & Site Use: Cover temporary stockpiles or machinery on-site with breathable burlap.

  • Reusable Material: With proper drying and storage, contractors reuse bags multiple times before disposal.

Cost & Sustainability Advantage

Switching from single-use synthetics to reclaimed burlap cuts consumable costs by up to 70%, while also aligning with sustainability mandates. Burlap naturally decomposes at end of life, reducing jobsite waste streams.
