Think of concrete not as a single material, but as a bespoke recipe. Just as you wouldn’t use cake flour to bake sourdough, we vary ingredients to match specific “stresses.”

The reason for the vast variety comes down to three factors: Strength, Workability, and Environment.

1. Strength:A garden path only needs to support footsteps (GEN1/C10), while a structural beam must hold tonnes of masonry (C40+).
2. Workability:Some mixes are thick for “slumping” into shapes, while others are “self-leveling” to save your back during a floor pour.
3. Environment:If your project faces winter frost, we add air-entrainment (microscopic bubbles) to prevent cracking. If it touches soil chemicals, we use sulfate-resisting

For your DIY project, choosing the “wrong” type usually means spending too much or watching your hard work crumble in three years.

Are you planning a load-bearing foundation or a decorative surface like a patio?
