Is Cement Cheaper Than Sand?
No, cement is generally more expensive than sand. Cement is a processed material made from limestone, while sand is a naturally occurring resource that requires minimal processing.
When mixing concrete, a typical ratio includes ballast, 2 parts sand, and 1 part cement. Cement plays a crucial role in strengthening the foundation of concrete base panels.
How Many 25kg Bags Do You Need for a Cement Mixer?
The number of 25kg cement bags needed depends on the mixing ratio:
- For a concrete mix (1:2:4) – One 25kg bag is usually more than enough. This mix is commonly used for concrete posts or timber posts.
- For a mortar mix (1:4 – cement:sand) – You’ll need 1.5 bags of 25kg cement to achieve the right consistency.
