Concrete Tips

  • • Standard concrete thickness: 100mm for paths, 150mm for driveways
  • • Always add 10% extra for spillage and waste
  • • Mix ratios: General (1:2:3), Strong (1:1.5:3), Lightweight (1:4:4)
  • • Let concrete cure for at least 7 days before use
  • • Premix bags are convenient for small projects; ready-mix trucks for large areas
