Which Concrete is Right for Me?

Selecting the perfect concrete for your project is essential for its success. At Total Concrete, we offer a diverse range of concrete types to suit various requirements. In this article, we explore what each type offers and determine which one fits your specific project needs.

10mm Concrete

Its composition allows for a smoother finish and is perfect for areas that don’t require heavy-duty concrete. Used extensively in cavity wall construction, the smaller stone size makes the concrete flow easily. If you need intricate formwork, this also may be an ideal option for you.

Specialty Concrete

Speciality concrete encompasses a range of products designed for specific applications. Whether you need a concrete that sets faster, flows better or offers higher strength, there’s a speciality mix for almost every unique requirement.

Foam Concrete

Foam concrete is known for its lightweight properties, making it an excellent choice for insulation, floor leveling and void filling. Its thermal and sound insulation capabilities make it an attractive option for both commercial and residential projects. Also used for void filling round pipework in road foundations — its low density provides good strength, but allows for easier removal should pipework need to be accessed at a later stage .

Rapid Set Concrete

Rapid-set concrete is the hero of quick turnaround projects. Perfect for repairing roads, installing posts or any project that needs to be back in action quickly, this concrete sets in mere hours without compromising strength.

Reinforced Concrete

Incorporating steel reinforcement, this concrete type is all about enhancing the tensile strength of your structure. It’s the backbone for buildings, bridges and any construction that demands high durability and load-bearing capacity.

Waterproof Concrete

Waterproof concrete is engineered to resist water penetration, making it an ideal choice for substructures, basements and any project where water resistance is paramount. At Total Concrete we work with all the major waterproof supply companies .

Hydraulically-Bound Material (HBM) 

HBM is a mixture used primarily for roads and pavements, known for its sustainability and strength. It’s a great choice for environmentally-conscious projects looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Self Compacting Concrete

This type eliminates the need for mechanical consolidation, flowing into every nook and cranny of the formwork purely under its own weight. It’s perfect for complex moulds and densely reinforced structures, ensuring a flawless finish without voids or honeycombing.

Power Float Concrete

For projects requiring a smooth, hard-wearing surface finish, power float concrete is the ideal choice. This concrete is finished using a power float machine, creating an attractive and durable surface perfect for warehouses, industrial floors and retail spaces.
