You may already know that concrete comes in a wide variety of mixes. But how do you know what type of concrete to choose? The success of your project depends on using the right concrete.
Below is an overview of the types of concrete available. We are always happy to consult with you about the right type of concrete for your project.
- Normal Strength Concrete. Made with a standard mix of cement, water, and aggregates, this is the most common type of concrete. Often used for walls and floors in home construction, it provides excellent strength and durability. These qualities make it a common choice for pavements and roadways as well.
- High-Strength Concrete. This highly durable concrete is formulated with a higher cement content and lower water-to-cement ratio. It’s designed to bear high-capacity loads and stand up to much harsher conditions. Commonly used in high-rise buildings, this concrete is used for structural applications such as beams, columns, and load-bearing walls.
- Air-Entrained Concrete. This mix is best used for applications like sidewalks and driveways. Air entrainment improves the concrete’s resistance to freeze-thaw cycles. This prevents cracking and damage in cold climates.
- Ready-Mix Concrete. Premixed and delivered directly to your site, this option is convenient for any project where time and consistency are a priority. Ready-mix is highly workable and versatile, making it a great choice for installations like building foundations, large slabs, and more.
