Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cement should I use for paving?
For paving projects, general-purpose cement or mortar mix is often the best choice. General-purpose cement is versatile and can be mixed with sand and aggregate to create concrete, while mortar mix is pre-blended with sand for easy paver jointing. When working with paving, it’s important to choose a cement type that offers good workability and sets strong enough to withstand foot or vehicle traffic. If the paving will be in a high-moisture area, adding a waterproofing additive to the mix can improve durability.
How long does cement take to set?
The initial set time for most cements is around 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on weather conditions and mix ratios. However, cement generally takes 24–48 hours to gain enough strength for light use and at least 28 days to fully cure and reach maximum strength. Hot, dry weather can speed up the setting process, while cold or damp conditions can slow it down. Covering freshly laid cement with plastic sheeting or curing compound helps maintain moisture levels for a stronger, more durable finish.
What’s the difference between cement, mortar, and concrete?
Cement is a binding material made from limestone and other minerals that hardens when mixed with water. Mortar is a blend of cement, sand, and water, used mainly for bonding bricks, blocks, or pavers. Concrete contains cement, sand, gravel, and water, making it stronger and more suitable for structural applications like slabs, driveways, and footings. While cement is the key ingredient in both mortar and concrete, each has different proportions and uses depending on the project.
