Concrete Mixes
A guide to the concrete mixes we supply and the applications they're normally associated with. We'll only publish a specific mix once its details are confirmed — so what you see here is genuine, not guessed.
Applications
Which mix for which job
Different jobs need different concrete. A house driveway and a strip foundation aren't poured to the same specification. Below is general guidance on the type of mix normally associated with common projects — but the mix for your specific job should always be confirmed against your design or specification.
Driveways and paths
Normally a medium-strength general-purpose mix, often with fibres for crack control. See concrete for driveways.
Foundations and footings
Normally a designated mix appropriate to the load and ground conditions, specified by your engineer or building control. See concrete for foundations.
Slabs and floors
Normally a mix suited to the floor finish and load, sometimes with fibres or a pumped specification. See concrete slabs.
Commercial and agricultural
Higher-strength or designated mixes depending on the structure. See commercial concrete and agricultural concrete.
Important
Don't guess a structural specification
The information on this page is general guidance only. We do not make structural recommendations without an appropriate specification. If your project has a design — from an engineer, building control or a specifier — we'll batch to that. If it doesn't, talk to us and we'll point you in the right direction.
