Cement vs. Concrete: Understanding the Difference
Cement and concrete are closely related but serve different purposes in construction. It's a common misconception to use "cement" and "concrete" interchangeably, but they are distinct materials with unique roles.
Cement is an ingredient. Concrete is the final product.
Think of cement as the "glue" that binds the components of concrete together. Without cement, concrete wouldn't achieve its solid form. Conversely, cement without aggregates doesn't possess the structural integrity needed for construction projects.
Key Takeaways:
- Cement: An ingredient used to bind materials together; not typically used alone for construction.
- Concrete: A composite material made from cement, aggregates, and water; widely used for building structures such as slabs, paths, & kerbing.
Understanding the distinction between these two materials is crucial for selecting the right product for your needs.
We stock a range of concreting products, including General Purpose Cement, White Cement, Hydrated Lime, Rapid Set Concrete, Post Mix Concrete, and Mortar Mix.
