How do you measure the strength of concrete?

By measuring the strength of concrete we ensure that it is fit for its purpose.

We deliver hundreds of cubic meters of concrete every week. Our customers know that they can depend on us for reliable batches of premium quality ready mix concrete.

Scientists measure the strength of concrete by taking cylindrical samples from existing batches.

They place the samples into specialist equipment. The machine compresses the samples. It measures the strength of concrete in pounds per square inch (psi).

Are there quality standards for concrete?

The construction industry has lots of rules, regulations, and quality standards.

At HH Muckers, we uphold quality standards. Contractors all over Broxbourne choose us because we stay ahead of the competition. We create premium quality materials by conducting void, density, and moisture tests. These tests tell us if any of our materials are lacking.

We only send out the best quality materials to our contractors.

To learn more about our quality standards, call 01992 635454.

How long do I have to place and finish ready mix concrete?

Contractors choose us because we offer guaranteed time slots.

Time slots allow contractors to arrange labour. They can cut down on wasted hours and streamline their expenses. 

Weather conditions like heat, wind, and rain impact ready mix concrete. By working as soon as possible contractors can protect their ready mix concrete from the elements. 

We can only provide customers with general advice. Engineers are best equipped to give specific information about concrete grades and strengths. 

As long as you begin working straight away you will not have any problem placing and finishing your batch.

What is the difference between concrete and cement?

Concrete and cement are both construction industry materials.

We deliver hundreds of cubic meters of concrete to construction sites in Broxbourne every week. Without cement, concrete would not be able to harden. Cement combines with sand, gravel and water to create ready mix concrete.

Ready mix concrete is one of the most versatile materials in the construction industry. It goes into bridges, industrial structures, and residential slabs. 

We use Portland cement and Asphalt cement in our batches. They are known for being hardy and durable. By using premium quality materials, we ensure that each batch of ready mix concrete is fit for its purpose.

How do you measure concrete?

In the construction industry, volumetric ready mix concrete is measured in cubic metres. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.

Does concrete gain strength by drying out?

Ready mix concrete gains strength when the molecules bond together. The molecules bond when hydration happens. Hydration is a chemical process that occurs when water molecules collide with the other molecules in the mixture.

When sand, gravel, cement, and water molecules bond together, there are fewer unbonded water molecules in the mixture. At this point, ready mix concrete begins to dry. 

Hydration happens whenever they are water molecules in the mixture. This means that it can occur for weeks and months after labourers lay their concrete.

How long does it take for concrete to cure?

There is no definite answer to how long it takes for concrete to cure. Each project is different.

We are one of the only ready mix concrete suppliers that travel all over North London, Hertfordshire, and Essex. We supply contractors with ready mix concrete for slabs, industrial projects, and bridges. Our team understand the difficulties that come with working on concrete.

Whereas drying concrete is a simple process, curing concrete need a set of external factors. 

Here are some of the things that contractors have to consider when curing concrete.

  • Ready mix concrete must be kept in an environment above 80% humidity.
  • Concrete must also be kept in an environment that is over 50 degrees for 3 to 14 days. 

The number of days depends on the project. Our team are always willing to talk through any concerns our customers have.

What strength concrete is normally used for a slab under a house?

Broxbourne contractors use C35 and above ready mix concrete mixes for residential slabs. 

Residential slabs need to be fit for their purpose. Contractors choose us because we conduct void, density, and moisture tests on all our materials. This ensures that they are all premium quality. Customers do not have to worry about useless batches when they choose us.

One of the main benefits of choosing us is that we can deliver different concrete grades and strengths in the same delivery slot. 

We cannot give specific information about individual projects. Engineers are best equipped to give tailored advice.

Why is my concrete cracking already?

It is normal to see ready mix concrete crack. 

Cracks happen when there is water in the mixture. Concrete shrinks an eighth of an inch for every 20 feet. Cracks are more obvious in large construction projects. 

Water is very reactive when it combines with sand, gravel and cement. When water molecules combine with these other molecules, concrete shrinks. When water molecules seep into the mixture, the process begins again. 

Hydration causes concrete to shrink, expand, and contract. 

There are a few ways that labourers can avoid excess cracks.

  • Only add as much water as is needed to the mixture. 
  • Use expansion joints to decrease the chance of cracks. Add one joint to every three meters of concrete to give the mixture structure.

What is screed?

Screed is a construction material. HH Muckers’ floor screed is made from water, fine sand, and cement. 

Concrete screed is sometimes mistaken for concrete. In fact, both products have very different uses. 

What is screed used for?

Screed creates thin, even layers for floors. 

Contractors create screed floors for lots of reasons. HH Muckers’ floor screeding is pliable and workable, meaning it can work with any surface. 

Most of the time, contractors pour screed onto concrete bases. Concrete bases can have protrusions. Uneven surfaces can be a nightmare for contractors. By pouring screed on top, they can create a smooth base for further structures. 

Screed is also a great surface for tiles, carpets, wooden slats, and other floors. 

One of the lesser-known uses is for floor heating. You can pour screed over heating pipes to insulate them and boost the money-saving potential. 

Differences between concrete and screed

Concrete and screed are mistaken for each other because they both contain similar ingredients. HH Muckers’ concrete screed contains fine sand, water, and cement. Our concrete contains sand, water, cement, and 20mm gravel. 

Overall, screed is much thinner. It is far more workable than concrete. 

Concrete is good for bases and pillars. Lots of our customers use concrete to create load-bearing structures. Our customers only use screed to create blemish-free floors.  

Order concrete screed in Broxbourne

Types of floor screed

No matter what project you are working on, you need to buy the right type of screed. 

Reinforced screed – 

As the name suggests, this type of screed is much stronger than traditional screed. We add metal mesh fibres to the screed to make it sturdier. The mesh fibres also decrease curb shrinkage and reduce the chance of cracks. 

Floor screed – 

Floor screeding creates level, blemish-free surfaces. This is one of the most popular types of screed. It is a staple on construction sites all over Broxbourne. 

Traditional screed – 

Traditional concrete screed creates bases for floors. Lots of our customers pour this type of screed as a base for carpets, tiles, and wooden floors.

How to screed a floor?

HH Muckers’ concrete screed is a workable, pliable product. It is easy to install and handle.

The easiest way to work with floor screed is to use a trowel. Trowels are also known as screed floats. These tools feature a flat surface. Simply pour the screed into place and smooth over any protrusions with the trowel. 

It really is that simple! If you can still see blemishes after using the trowel, try using carborundum stone. This tool buffs out any imperfections. 

Call our team on 01992 635454 to arrange your screed delivery.

How do I cure screed?

Floor screeding takes some time to cure. You need to account for curing time when you are organising your construction project. 

Screed reaches 65% of its overall strength after just seven days. Of course, the time it takes to cure completely depends on a lot of variables. Time, heat, and type of screed play a big part in the curing process.

How long does screed take to dry?

You can expect your concrete screed to dry at a rate of 1mm each day.

Can I cancel my order?

We accept cancellations up to 24 hours before the initial ready mix concrete delivery slot.
