This is the classic &#8220;Builders Blend&#8221; used for the vast majority of construction projects in South Africa. We pre-mix sharp Washed River Sand with 19mm Crushed Stone, saving you the hassle of ordering separate loads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Choose 19mm Mix?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maximum Strength:<\/strong> The larger 19mm stone provides the aggregate interlock needed for high-load areas. It is the correct choice for any load-bearing structure.<br \/>\n<strong>Economical:<\/strong> It creates a bulky, solid concrete that goes further for deep pours than finer mixes.<br \/>\n<strong>Convenient:<\/strong> Perfect for sites with limited space\u2014you only need one pile instead of two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Applications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Foundations:<\/strong> House footings, boundary wall foundations, and gate posts.<br \/>\n<strong>Driveways:<\/strong> The standard aggregate size for casting concrete driveways and garage floors.<br \/>\n<strong>Thick Slabs:<\/strong> Any concrete slab thicker than 80mm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mixing Guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Just Add Cement:<\/strong> This is a sand\/stone blend only. You must add water and cement.<br \/>\n<strong>Standard Ratio:<\/strong> For a strong 25-30Mpa concrete, a common site mix is approx 2 to 2.5 bags of cement per cubic meter (always consult your structural engineer&#8217;s specifications).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delivery:<\/strong> We deliver bulk loads of Concrete Mix 19mm to <strong>Pretoria East<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I use 13mm or 19mm Mix?<\/strong> Use 19mm for heavy work: Foundations, driveways, and thick slabs (stronger). Use 13mm for fine work: Lintels, thin walkways, or where you need a very smooth finish.<br \/>\n<strong>Is this &#8220;Premix&#8221; concrete?<\/strong> In the building trade, &#8220;Premix&#8221; usually refers to Ready-Mix (wet concrete delivered in a truck). This product is a dry blend of sand and stone. You mix it yourself.<br \/>\n<strong>How much concrete does 1 cube make?<\/strong> Once you add water and cement and compact it, 1 cubic meter of loose mix will yield slightly less than 1 cubic meter of finished concrete (due to air pockets being removed). We recommend ordering 10% extra to be safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> At Topsoil Tippers, we strive to ensure that the products you receive match the images and descriptions provided.
