Cement concrete: refers to the collective name of engineering composite materials that are mixed by water, such as cement, sand, and stone. The term concrete is generally used to refer to cement

Since the advent of cement concrete, it has been the most important structural material in construction engineering and has been widely used. With the advancement and development of science and technology and the improvement of people's awareness, cement concrete has opened up new uses and moved into the ranks of decorative materials.

Cement concrete has unique advantages as a decorative material.

First, the raw material resources are very rich. The main materials are cement, sand, stone, pigment, etc. Industrial waste residues and tailings such as fly ash and coal gangue can also be used;

Second, there are mature techniques for mixing and manufacturing of concrete products, and the performance and durability of concrete products are good;

Third, the concrete mixture is easy to be colored. Different colors of pigments or aggregates of different colors are mixed with the raw materials of the concrete to produce decorative concrete and products of different colors;

Fourth, the fresh concrete has good plasticity. Different shapes of molds can be used to shape concrete products of different shapes. Round to round, square to square, and various shapes;

Fifth, the concrete surface after setting and hardening has good workability, can be split, chiseled (cut), grindable, chopable, and the surface can be processed into different textures, especially the texture of imitation natural decorative stone, which creates a natural landscape Ideal material

Sixth, it has a wide range of applications and can be used in civil and civil engineering such as industrial and civil construction, municipal administration, transportation, gardens, water conservancy, and even sculpture products;

Seventh, after the ordinary concrete and products are further processed into decorative concrete products, the value of the product is doubled, and the enterprise can obtain better economic benefits.
