Did you know that a concrete building can help save money on heating and cooling? Concrete has a high thermal mass, which means heat doesn’t travel through it easily. As a result, temperatures are more consistent inside, and you’ll need less heating or cooling.
Concrete is made up of 10 to 15 percent cement, and generally the more cement there is, the stronger the mix. Too much cement will prevent curing, however.
We can explain why a cost analysis favors concrete, as opposed to asphalt, for both driveways and sidewalks. While concrete is initially more expensive, it lasts much longer and has minimal maintenance costs.
Today, more and more people are concerned with going green. Fortunately, precast concrete fulfills requirements for sustainable design and construction. Precast concrete structures are also 100 percent recyclable, so you don't have to worry about them having a high environmental impact.
One of the terms used in concrete is “admixture.” This is material added to concrete either before or during mixing to modify the concrete or change the structure of the fresh, and subsequently hardened, final product.
