Contractors Rely on Ready-Mix Concrete for Diverse Applications

Feb 26, 2024

Ready-mix concrete is a reliable and versatile building material with a wide variety of suitable applications. Its durability, strength, and design flexibility enables it to overcome many design and construction challenges. County Materials is committed to supplying reliable ready-mix solutions that build stronger and safer communities.

Commercial Paving & Flooring Applications

Ready-mix is a reliable solution for interior and exterior applications in both office and warehouse settings.

For warehouse applications, steel and synthetic fibers can be added to the mix to improve impact strength and durability to ensure lasting performance. Offices can achieve a modern aesthetic with colored concrete floors. County Materials offers nearly 20 integral colorant admixtures that produce vibrant, streak-free colors in shades ranging from modern grays and tans to bold browns and reds.

When used for commercial loading docks and parking lots, ready-mix concrete offers several advantages over other paving materials. Because of its high light reflectivity, fewer light poles are needed to provide good nighttime visibility. Resisting age, wear, and weather, concrete parking lots can last up to 30 years with minimal maintenance. 

Agricultural Applications

Agricultural structures must be able to withstand high loads, heavy traffic, and all kinds of weather, and they must promote cleanliness in order to limit the spread of disease. Durable, environmentally friendly, and easy to clean, ready-mix concrete meets the demands of agricultural applications.

Landscape Applications

Decorative concrete can be used for many landscaping applications, including pool decks, patios, retaining walls, and firepits. County Materials offers a wide selection of coloring agents that help concrete contractors broaden the possibilities of outdoor design. Contractors can use stamps to produce life-like textures that emulate slate, wood, and flagstone.

Tilt Wall Concrete

Tilt Wall concrete construction involves a process in which panels of concrete are first placed horizontally on grounded slabs. Then a crane tilts them upwards before setting the panels on prepared foundations to form walls. The benefits of this method include speed, safety of installation, cost effectiveness, and sustainability.

County Materials’ ready-mix concrete is a readily available solution for commercial, landscape, agricultural, and structural projects of all sizes throughout Central Florida. Use our ready-mix for your next project by contacting our Customer Service Team at (352) 343-8488.
