Cement is the "Glue" that makes the Sands and Concrete Blends work as intended. The word "cement" traces to the Romans, who used the term "opus caementicium" to describe masonry which resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as the binder. The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concrete - the bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong and durable building material.

Whatever the project , there will be a host of “extras” that you will need to get the job done and at our yard at Darra there is a wide range of products including cement and pre-mixed bags of concrete available in convenient 20kg bags to help you on your way.  We are open 7 days a week so you can drop in anytime to pick some bags up, or arrange to have them delivered with your bulk materials.

Cement & Premix

BUILDERS CEMENT: A good cement that was imported to compete with cheap and inferior imports. You could call this a budget type cement that does comply with AS (Australian Standards).
CONCRETE MIX: This is a premixed concrete product suitable to be used in most structural applications. Simply add water and mix well. Perfect for small conreting jobs, retaining and fence posts, and various other small jobs where structural concrete mix is required.
GAP SAND: This is a premium product that is swept into the joints of your new pavers. After a light sprinkle with water, it sets to give extra stability and extra protection from those weeds that want to grow between your pavers.
GENERAL PURPOSE CEMENT: This is the traditional portland cement that is used throughout the world and is manufactured by QCL in Central Queensland. (Actually it used to be manufactured just around the corner from our yard here at Darra and was often called a bag of Darra Grey.)
PAVING JOINT FILL SAND: This product is swept into the joints of your new pavers once they are laid to aid stability and to prevent weeds from growing between the pavers.
KERAFLEX TILE ADHESIVE: A high concentration of synthetic resins gives this product a superior bond on floor and wall tiles. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
KERASET TILE ADHESIVE: Suitable for all general tile applications - both wall and floor. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
LIME: Used in plaster and mortar applications to enhance plasticity and binding qualities of render, and improves durability of mortar mixes.
MORTAR MIX: Is used for laying bricks and blocks. Simply add water and mix into a paste. Apply to the brick or block with a brickies trowel. The instructions are on the bag for all the ways it can be used.
OFF WHITE: A white portland cement. Though not a pure white cement, when used with our white silver sand it makes a nice 'off white' mortar or grout for brickies or tilers.
POSTCRETE: This is a premixed concrete product suitable to be used in most non-structural applications. Simply add water and mix well. Perfect for fence and letter box posts, and various other small jobs where a non-structural concrete mix is required.
RAPID SET CONCRETE: Sets in 15 minutes. Ideal for small jobs including fence post footings but be very careful as it really does set quickly. DO NOT mix it in a wheelbarrow, mix it in the hole, where it is meant to be. Its that quick!
