Concrete is one of the best and most used materials. It’s used for construction of commercial, industrial, and residential buildings and family houses. There are lightweight, standard, and heavyweight concretes. They can be used in construction, but there’s also hydrophobic concrete, and types used for special purposes. The key properties to look for in concrete are type (strength), elasticity, resistance to frost and wear. If you want a durable structure, you have to use high-quality concrete to make it. Concrete is good at withstanding compressive force, but not tensile force, so it has to be reinforced, and this is usually done with steel reinforcement. Even with brick houses, crucial vertical and horizontal junctions have to be concreted in place as the load-bearing capacity of bricks is low. Today, there’s also coloured concrete, which has its aesthetic benefits. Use our calculator to check concreting costs. Send us an enquiry and our top experts will reply.
