Concrete has gained visibility in the last few years as a "new" material and is showing up in a variety of applications including countertops and interior floors as well as foundations, driveways, and patios. In fact, in addition to being strong and extremely durable, concrete is a versatile, environmentally friendly, and cost effective building material.
There are four main types of concrete: ready mix, pre-cast, masonry and cement based minerals. Ready mix is the most common form. Nearly three-fourths of all concrete used is batched at local plants and delivered in the familiar trucks with revolving drums. Pre-cast is a concrete product cast in a factory setting. A major benefit is the tight quality control at the factory. Masonry is manufactured concrete. It is best known for its conventional 8 x 8 x 16-inch block. Last are the cement-based minerals. These contain properties like concrete, but are not actually concrete. This category includes mortar, grout, terrazzo, soil cement, and roller compacted concrete. Other products in this category include flow able fill and cement treated bases.
