Ready mix Concrete
Aggregate Industries - Concrete
Strike+
High Early Strength Concrete is a range of products designed to meet specified return to service requirements in compressive strength. These concretes are produced and delivered using volumetric concrete mixers. Water is only added to the mix at the point of use. Available in a range of early strength gain to suit contract specification and various levels of consistency to suit placement method; pump, skip and direct. Strike+ has low surface absorption and high freeze thaw resistance
Lytacrete
Lytacrete reduces the weight of structural concrete and can be pumped to any height and achieve a high quality finish. Using Lytag® coarse aggregates reduces the weight of structural concrete by around 23% compared with natural aggregate concrete. Including Lytag fine aggregate allows further weight reductions of up to 32%. Lytag lightweight aggregate concrete can provide the same level of structural performance as normal weight concrete so it can be used in exactly the same way, achieving a compressive strength of up to 65N. Placing and compaction is as easy as with normal weight concrete. Finishing processes used for normal concrete can easily be applied to Lytag concrete. Using Lytag not only reduces the density of your concrete but also improves the insulating properties with double the thermal performance of normal weight concrete. It meets all rating requirements.
Leancrete®
A low strength ready-mixed concrete mix ideal for contracts/projects where strength is not a key factor. Ideal for a sub base in domestic patios. Leancrete will meet and exceed the relevant British and European Standards, it is economical and easy to use. Dry mix is available for kerb as a backing and bedding.
Adflow
Adding water on the site causes a reduction in the strength of ready-mixed concrete and invalidates our Quality Assurance.
