I am building my own concrete block garage and trying to get some work done before winter finally ends my work year. I knew that Saturday night was going to get cold and drop below 32 F and during the day it was only in the 40s F. But I went ahead anyway to mortar some joints.
I know they lay concrete and cement all year round by building heat tents on job sites. But I wonder as to the curing process of mortar? Does it take as long as concrete? And what are the working parameters of mortar and cold temperatures?
I know that in the curing of cement that it releases heat itself and am wondering how low of a temperature below 32 F that it begins to damage the mortar cement in curing.
