Builders Concrete East FAQ

Have a concrete-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!
  • What's the difference between cement and concrete?

    Cement is an ingredient in concrete manufactured through a process where numerous products are ground, mixed, and then heated to a very high temperature to create the finished product. Concrete uses cement as a glue to hold together a mixture of stone, sand, water, and cement.

  • Is it a good idea to put a sealer on new concrete surfaces?

    Yes. When applied correctly, sealers concrete to reach its maximum strength, becoming more durable.

  • Why does concrete crack?

    Concrete is like the sponge that you leave on the edge of the sink after you have washed dishes. When the water dissipates and leaves the sponge, the corners curl towards each other. Concrete goes through the same process as a sponge, except the sponge does not have the weight that concrete does. The concrete dries, and gravity takes over. Concrete cracks where it needs relief from the stresses of drying. To rectify this problem, it’s important to have proper cutting during finishing ensuring your saw joints cut at the proper depth and width.
