PAV1 mixes have an additive that entrains air to create micro sized air bubbles in the Concrete. This helps to protect the surface from frost, specifically freeze-thaw cycles, making it especially useful for outdoor paving.
Concrete strength: 35N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- House driveways
- Domestic parking/car ports
- External paving
- Domestic, agricultural and industrial paved areas such as walkways and patios
PAV2 is a substantial, heavy-duty use Concrete suitable for commercial and industrial use.
