Concrete is a generic term for many types of cement (like those of us in the concrete business know so well) many people think that concrete and cement are the same thing – they are not. Concrete is actually a mixture of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Cement is made from finely ground rock, which when mixed with water, makes a paste that binds other materials together. There are many different types of cement you can use for your project!

Masonry cement is often used for brick or stone walls and will help block moisture from seeping through the mortar joints.
Masonry cement is often used for brick or stone walls and will help block moisture from seeping through the mortar joints. Masonry cement is a mixture of portland cement or blended hydraulic cement and plasticizing materials. The plasticizing materials are used to increase workability, reduce water demand, increase strength and influence the rate of hardening.
Concreate Cement is great for steps, sidewalks and building foundations.
Concrete is the most common, but there are also other types of cement that are used for different purposes. If you’re building steps, sidewalks or a foundation for your home, you probably want to use concrete cement. Concrete comes in a variety of colors and finishes, but it’s most commonly grey. It’s made from the mixture of sand and gravel with water, which is mixed with cement until it becomes liquidy enough to pour into a mold.
Rapid set cement or fast setting cement hardens quickly which is used to repair cracked sidewalks and repair or replace columns.
“`If you need to do a quick job, you want to use a fast setting cement. It’s good for emergency repairs–when someone trips over your sidewalk and breaks their ankle, or when your column collapses and you have no idea what to do about it. Here are some things to know about working with this stuff:
- Cold water will speed up the setting process
- Hot water will slow down the setting process
- Adding a chemical additive will slow down the setting process
Parging cement is often used to waterproof basements and fill holes in stucco or masonry walls.
Parging cement is often used to waterproof basements and fill holes in stucco or masonry walls. Parging is a cement plaster mixture used to cover masonry walls. It can be used to create a new surface on a wall, smoothing uneven surfaces or covering up cracks and other damage to the wall. On the exterior of your house, parging can also be used to create a decorative finish for walls that makes them look like stone.
There are many different types of cements to choose from depending on your project needs
We get many questions about cement and the types of cement that you can use for different projects. There are two main types of cement: portland cement and Portland Cement. The reason that there are two main types is because portland cement has passing water content, which makes it more versatile than concrete. If you want to build something with a wall that is 32 inches high and 12 inches thick, you would need portland cement because it has low water content. It doesn’t make sense to use concrete for this specific project because it will be too heavy and you wouldn’t be able to move this structure easily if needed.
The other type of concrete is called cemcrete, which is also known as slurry concrete. This type of concrete has very high water contents so it can be used as a foundation in a house or any building where there will be movement, like an airport tower or an apartment building.Concrete is a generic term for many types of cement (like those of us in the concrete business know so well) many people think that concrete and cement are the same thing – they are not.
