Our Ready Mix Concrete Brent Cross concrete plant will provide the following types of concrete.
1. Heavy concrete, the weight of which exceeds 2600 kg / m2. Its weight is related to the fact that manganese, steel or other special aggregates are used to make it suitable for durability and resistance. It is used as a biological shield, protecting against ionizing radiation;
2. Plain concrete with a volumetric weight of 2000-2200 kg / m2 or 2200-2600 kg / m2. It is not intended for laying in the winter, because it may begin to crack or delaminate. The heavier version, using natural aggregates, such as sand, gravel or basalt stone, is used primarily to make construction elements. The lighter, to which porous aggregates are added, is ideal for parts that need to have increased thermal insulation, such as curtain walls;
3. Lightweight concrete, weighing from 800 to 2000 kg / m2. It is mainly made of lightweight aggregates or aerated concrete (based on cement, sand, water and a foam generating agent). Used mainly for leveling surfaces or as a primer, as well as for the production of wall and ceiling panels.
