designated mixes

As a guide, here are some common terms for different types of concrete and screed and what they are used for – we can deliver all of these mixes.

• C8 (Gen 0/18_1)
  For kerb bedding and backing.

• C10 (Gen 1/16_1)
  For blinding, mass concrete fill, un-reinforced strip, trench fill and pad foundations, over-site below suspended floors, and drainage works.
  

• C15 (Gen 2/15_1)
  For house floors with no embedded metal.

• C20 (Gen 3/ST 1/12_1)
  For internal floor slabs.

• C25 (ST 2/11_1)
  For footings/foundations and groundwork

• C30 (PAV1/ST 3/9_1)
  For light use external slabs, e.g. outdoor paved areas such as driveways, paths, patios, garages, carports and pavements

• C35 (PAV2/ST 4/7_1)
  For heavy-duty use external slabs/piling, e.g. external paved areas subject to the constant loading and scraping imposed by industrial vehicles and machinery

• C40 (ST 5/5_1)
  For structural beams and agricultural use

• Screed 5 (Fibres/5_1)
  For finishing floors, where a smooth finish is required, 5:1 is the ratio of sharp sand to cement, so this is the weakest of the 3 options.
  
  
• Screed 4 (Fibres/4_1)
  For finishing floors, where a smooth finish is required, 4:1 is the ratio of sharp sand to cement, so this is a medium
  strength mix and our most popular
  
  
• Screed 3 (Fibres/3_1 )
  For finishing floors, where a smooth finish is required, 3:1 is the ratio of sharp sand to cement, so this is the strongest of the 3 options.

• Foam Concrete
  For pouring around pipes. The concrete has a foaming agent added, enabling the concrete to be chipped off in chunks, which makes it easier to remove should any maintenance on the pipe be required.

We also offer the following additional products (admixtures) that we can put into the concrete or screed, as the situation dictates.

Concrete:

• Air Trailers  – this adds and distributes tiny air bubbles in the concrete, which will reduce damage during freeze-thaw cycles thereby increasing the concrete's durability. However, entrained air is a trade-off with strength, as each 1% of air may result in 5% decrease in compressive strength. Our air trailer modifies the pore structure of the concrete giving it the following benefits:

• Lower permeability than plain concrete
• Bleeding of excess mix water is reduced
• The amount of laitance is reduced, enhancing the concrete's resistance to frost attack
• Reduces the water demand of the concrete for a given workability
• Increases the cohesion of concrete mixes which make them easier to handle and place
• Improves the durability of concrete exposed to freeze/thaw cycles due to the reservoir of pores deployed which allow the expansion of water without disruption to the concrete. This is of great value where concrete is exposed to tidal conditions, splash zones and de-icing salts
  
  
• Plasticiser – to soften the mix before it hardens, increasing its workability; this is not intended to affect the properties of the final product after it hardens. Our plasticisers offer the following advantages:

• Improved workability/reduces water/cement ratio
• Flexible high performance plasticiser
• High resistance to segregation/reduces bleeding
• Improved surface finish
• Reduces shrinkage cracking potential
• Higher initial and ultimate compressive strengths
• Higher durability concrete
• Multi functional
• Excellent slump retention
• High early strengths
• Rheology improver
• Cost effective

• Concrete Fibres – are an alternate system to traditional reinforcement when used for secondary (crack control only) reinforcing in concrete. They improve resistance to intrinsic cracking, improve water tightness and offer an aesthetic finish. Our fibres offer the following advantages:

• Reduces plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking
• Reinforces against the effect of shattering forces
• Inhibits and controls the formation of intrinsic cracking in concrete
• Reinforces against water migration
• Reinforces against impact forces
• Provides improved durability
• Reinforces against abrasion
• Provides freeze-thaw resistance
• Inhibits explosive spalling

Screed

• Retarder – Our Retarder is formulated from phosphates which temporarily stop the chemical hydration of cement. It allows the production of retarded concrete with increased ultimate strengths. Our retarder offers the following advantages:

• Accuracy of retardation
• Long haul problems solved
• High resistance to segregation/reduces bleeding
• Higher initial and ultimate compressive strengths
• Higher durability concrete

• Screed Fibres - these add tensile strength to produce reinforced concrete. Our fine fibrillated fibres contain no reprocessed olefin materials. They are specially engineered for use as reinforcement in screed. They are non magnetic, rustproof, and alkali proof. Our fibres offer the following features and benefits:

• Provides increased early stage strength
• Increases cohesion and reduces segregation
• Reduces settlement and bleeding
• Inhibits and controls the formation of intrinsic cracking in concrete
• Reduces plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking
• Increases impact and shatter resistance
• Reinforces against abrasion
• Reduces freeze/thaw damage
• Provides improved toughness / durability
• Provides residual strength

We allow 20 minutes per metre waiting time up to 1.5hr max for full load. We charge £25 for every 15 minutes thereafter.            

Caution! - Concrete can cause burns. Please wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water after use. Make sure you protect yourself against this as EasyMix cannot accept responsibility for any burns both during and after use

Customers are responsible for any damage caused whilst taking the lorry off road.

Customers must provide suitable washout facilities.

Your charge for concrete may vary if your quantity changes during this delivery.
