Don't Knock Quikcrete Until You've Tried It

by Jackie P. ProAll International Manufacturing Inc.

If you’re in the market for a mobile cement mixer, you might have heard of Quikcrete. That’s not surprising, as they’ve been providing their unique services to homeowners and contractors alike since 2000. However, you may be surprised to learn that using Quikcrete does not imply sacrificing quality or time efficiency—quite the contrary!

But before we go into why, let’s talk about concrete first and understand it thoroughly.

Introduction

One of the most common misconceptions about concrete is that it takes a long time to set. It only takes a few hours for your home's foundation to be as strong as a rock. The key is in the mixing process, and there are two ways you can mix your concrete: by hand or with a cement mixer. If you have ever worked with sand at the beach, you will understand how the sand gets all over the place when using a shovel. A cement mixer grinds up all of the sand particles into smaller bits, preventing them from getting everywhere while mixed with water.

 

History

Quikcrete was founded in 1989 by a group of concrete contractors who were seeking a better way to pour concrete. They needed something that was fast-setting, easy to transport, and could be run from any position. The result is Quikcrete, the cement mixer. By adding water directly to the drum of the machine and then letting it mix for about 30 seconds, you can create a perfect batch of ready-to-pour concrete in about six minutes.

 

Composition

Quikcrete is a cement mixer that you can use to create any size of concrete mix in just a few minutes.It's fast and easy, saving you time and money. With Quikcrete, you don't have to worry about the consistency of your mix as it automatically adjusts for water content. Plus, the quality of construction with Quikcrete is top-notch since it doesn't require mixing with sand. And if you need to work with your hands, there are no messy buckets of wet concrete to clean up!

Construction workers are not required to wear protective gear like masks or gloves when working with Quikcrete because it's non-toxic. Plus, there's less risk of falling thanks to its non-slip properties. Finally, and most importantly, the EPA believes it is completely safe because all of the ingredients are natural!

 

Uses

Quikcrete is a new type of concrete that is mixed in a volumetric cement mixer and then pumped into place. It's said to be set up much faster than traditional concrete, which typically needs about 24 hours or more before it can be walked on. Here are some other benefits that make it worth considering:

Quikcrete sets up almost instantly (within minutes, not hours) and also cures quickly, so you don't have to wait as long for the surface to harden and cure.

Because the product is mixed with water instead of cement, it eliminates the need for water trucks that would have been necessary for pouring traditional concrete. In addition, Quikcrete doesn't require any formwork because it spreads out evenly on its own.

 

Advantages

Quikcrete is a revolutionary cement mixer that's easy and quick to use. By mixing water and aggregate (rock) in the same container, you can have your concrete ready for molding or pouring in just six minutes! And if you're looking for an even stronger material, the unique engineering of Quikcrete lets it cure faster than normal concrete. This means that when you add reinforcement materials to the mix, your final product will be significantly stronger. For example, instead of having to wait 28 days for the concrete to set before being able to apply steel mesh reinforcement wire, with Quikcrete, this process takes only 6 hours!

 

Disadvantages

Quikcrete may be a great alternative for people who want to avoid all the extra work that comes with traditional concrete. In spite of this, using this product has some disadvantages. For one thing, it's not as strong and durable as normal concrete. The other thing is that you have to use a cement mixer, which can make the process much more difficult. Other things worth considering before using this product include the fact that you'll need to clean up the mess and find storage space for it after you're done working with it. If you're not too picky about those things, then Quikcrete might be a good option for you when compared to traditional concrete because of its reduced drying time and ease of installation.
