Your concrete questions - our expert answers. Take a look through our informative blog posts to learn more about concrete.
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in Toronto and across Canada, valued for its strength, durability, and versatility. But there’s one crucial step after mixing and pouring that determines its performance: curing. This process ensures the concrete develops its full potential, and in this post, we’ll explain what it is, why it matters, and how it’s done.
Efficiency and precision are non-negotiable in construction, and concrete pumps are tools that help contractors meet these standards. At kreitmaker, our experts can provide advice on how to handle, transport, and place concrete using the right equipment. In today's post, we explain the most commonly used types of concrete pumps, how they work, their pros and cons, and how to choose a pump for your specific job.
Whether you're a contractor working on a commercial slab or a homeowner pouring a new driveway, selecting the right concrete mix is one of the most important decisions you'll make. The mix you choose will determine the strength and durability of the finished product. At kreitmaker, we can help you choose the right mix, and our on-site volumetric mixing can help get the job done right.
One of the most critical (and often underestimated) variables in any concrete project is set time: how long it takes for concrete to begin hardening after it’s mixed. Understanding and managing set time can make or break a project. Fortunately, on-site mixing using volumetric concrete trucks gives you far more control over that timing than traditional delivery methods.
Concrete delivery isn’t one-size-fits-all. At kreitmaker, we pride ourselves on delivering concrete with unmatched flexibility and efficiency. Our volumetric concrete trucks empower contractors, homeowners, and developers across the GTA to get exactly what they need, no more, no less.
In construction, time, flexibility, and cost matter – whether you're tackling a major development or a small renovation. That’s why on-site concrete mixing with volumetric trucks is gaining popularity across the Greater Toronto Area. At kreitmaker, our volumetric concrete service delivers flexibility, quality, and real cost savings.
When planning an outdoor deck, choosing the right material can make all the difference in cost, durability, and long-term aesthetics. While wood has long been a go-to choice for decks, stamped concrete is rapidly becoming a preferred alternative, especially in the GTA.
Many people use the terms "cement" and "concrete" interchangeably when discussing construction materials, but they are not the same. Understanding the difference between these two materials is essential for anyone involved in building, DIY projects, or simply curious about how structures are made. In this post, we break down what each term means and how they relate to one another.
Concrete is a common material that forms the backbone of modern construction, found in everything from towering skyscrapers to humble sidewalks. Its versatility, strength, and durability make it a preferred choice for a wide range of applications. In this blog, we'll discuss the composition of concrete, explore its various types, and examine the properties that make it such a valuable building material.
When you are starting up a project, whether it be on a construction site or at your home, concrete is the building block of your project. We are here to tell you about the differences between volumetric concrete and standard-volume concrete.
