Cements are basically of two types.
The cements have a lighter colour, which is very desirable for many architectural applications such as mosaic flooring and plastering. However, the colour of cement has no relation to strength characteristics.
The right cement and it’s application
It is very important that you use only a reputed brand of cement. Good brands of cement may cost more, but offer quality, consistency and reliability.
Cement accounts for a mere 12 to 18% of the total expenditure on your home. So, using cheaper cement gives you little overall savings.
Cement must be kept dry, by covering with tarpaulin, until final mixing into a construction material.
