FAQs about low-temperature cure flooring
Which floors cure in the cold?
WE70 cures at temperatures as low as 5 °C (below 75% relative humidity) and SF12 cures down to 5 °C. Hycrete TC takes an accelerator for a low-temperature cure.
How cold is too cold?
For WE70 and SF12 the sheets give 5 °C. Hycrete TC is applied between 10 and 30 °C and at least 3 °C above the dew point — the accelerator shortens its cure at the low end.
Does humidity matter as well?
Yes. WE70 can be used at up to 85% relative humidity with good air exchange in confined spaces, and Hycrete TC needs the slab at least 3 °C above the dew point while it cures.
