GP Cement (20kg) - Cement Australia

GP Cement is your classic all-rounder cement, commonly used for:

• Concrete slabs, footings, and driveways
• Mortar for brick and block laying
• General construction and repair work
• Rendering and patching applications
• DIY concreting projects

The "GP" in GP Cement simply stands for General Purpose, meaning this versatile cement can be used across a number of different applications.

GP Cement can be used for a number of applications, so your mixing ratios will vary depending on whether you are using it to create concrete, mortar, or render.

STEP 1: Place the required amount of cement, clean aggregate, and sand into a wheelbarrow, mixing tray, or concrete mixer. Thoroughly combine the dry ingredients before adding water.

STEP 2: Gradually add clean water while mixing until you achieve a workable consistency. Only add enough water to suit the mix, as excessive water can reduce the strength of the finished concrete.

STEP 3: Apply the mix as soon as it is prepared. Once placed, keep the finished job moist for approximately 7 days to help achieve the best results.

GP Cement is a base ingredient, meaning it is designed to be mixed with aggregates and sand to create concrete. Using GP Cement as a base ingredient gives you greater control over the mix ratios and allows you to customise your mix to suit your project.

This particular Builders Cement is a blend of Portland cement and fly ash that exceeds the requirements specified in Australian Standard AS 3972 for Type GB cement.

Builders Cement is a blended cement that contains additives to improve workability, while pre-mixed products such as concrete or mortar already contain the correct proportions of sand and aggregates for quick and convenient use.
