What is Gen1 Concrete?

Gen1 concrete is an entry-level mix designed for lighter construction tasks. It is typically composed of cement, water, sand, and aggregate, with a low-to-medium strength. Gen1 concrete is highly versatile, making it suitable for non-structural applications where high compressive strength isn’t essential.

Typical Uses of Gen1 Concrete:

  • Foundations for small walls and sheds
  • Pathways and patios
  • Bedding for drainage systems
  • General domestic uses

The low strength of Gen1 concrete allows for ease of handling during application while still providing sufficient durability for most small-scale projects.

What is Gen2 Concrete?

Gen2 concrete is a step up from Gen1, offering higher compressive strength, making it ideal for projects that require more robust support. It’s a mix that’s also made up of cement, water, sand, and aggregate, but the ratio and quality of materials are designed for stronger applications.

Typical Uses of Gen2 Concrete:

  • House foundations
  • Retaining walls
  • Groundwork
  • Larger commercial projects

With Gen2 concrete, you get a higher load-bearing capacity, which ensures stability and longevity in areas subjected to more stress and weight.
