When it comes to small cement projects like installing a fence post, mailbox or even doing minor driveway repairs, you’d be surprised how easy it is to use ready-mix concrete or mortar mix. Even beyond a variety of cement mixes, Ace has a wide selection of sandbags for everything from play sand to diverting water.
Difference Between Cement Mix and Concrete Mix
People sometimes use cement and concrete interchangeably, but the two are not the same. Cement is the binding agent in both concrete and mortar mix. Concrete contains cement, sand, and, typically, gravel. The cement is activated when water is added to the mixture, and everything solidifies when it dries. Mortar is usually just sand and cement, so it functions more as a paste used to bind building blocks together.
What Is Ready-Mix Concrete?
Ready-mix concrete is a shortcut to a concrete mix. Its name refers to the mix containing everything needed to make concrete. To prepare it, simply add the amount of water recommended by the manufacturer. After stirring, the concrete can be poured into concrete forms and smoothed with a masonry trowel to complete a variety of DIY projects.
Typically, a dry ready-mix concrete product is best for smaller projects, which is why it's a favorite with DIY enthusiasts. Its easy preparation process means you can do the job yourself and skip the expense of buying site-mixed concrete that needs to be delivered by a pro. Top rated brands like Quikrete concrete mix include fast-setting concrete mix options which take less time to harden, helping to finish the project more quickly.
How Do I Choose the Right Mix for My Concrete Project?
Getting the right ready-mix concrete determines whether you achieve your intended results. Some things to consider when comparing your options include:
- Purpose of your project: Some ready-mix concrete is better suited to making repairs to existing concrete, while others are ideal for new projects. You can also find specialty concrete mix products for specific tasks like setting fence posts.
- Setting time: A fast-setting concrete mix is often a good choice when pouring concrete in high-traffic areas or places with little to no cover from the elements.
- Compressive strength: The compressive strength tells you how much of a load the concrete can withstand before failing. It is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). Concrete that supports a heavy load will need a higher compressive strength.
- Package size: The weight of the bag in pounds indicates the volume of fast-setting concrete you can make. A helpful staff member can help you determine what quantity to purchase for your project.
