Concrete: To determine the name

At Mastou Ready Mix, we understand that our product, concrete, is one of the most unique and versatile building materials in the Saudi Arabia.

Building full of questions. When are you going to buy a faucet at once confronted with the questions: “What a crane to buy, and where?” “Is not it better to buy a faucet?” When it comes to concrete, issues no less. Many people do not quite clearly understand what is the difference between an aerated concrete, foam and aerated concrete. Just do not understand their accompanying values “autoclave” and” “non-autoclaved concrete. So what, five of these titles represent a whole, or each exist separately? Answer, for starters, on this issue. Overriding and fundamental in this series is a cellular concrete. Under aerated concrete involve materials for which a single, the same composition (having equidistant cells, strengthening of physical and mechanical properties of concrete). Due to the porosity of the material is much reduced, its density and weight. These enhanced qualities distinguish the concrete from the resulting product, produced from the usual mixture of sand, water and cement. By the term “cellular concrete” is often added the definition of “light”. Lightweight cellular concrete is divided into two types: foam and aerated concrete. The difference is in the process of production. Hence, too, came the concept of autoclave and non-autoclave. Autoclaved aerated – aerated and non-autoclaved aerated – this is aerated concrete.
