Welcome to Outwest Concrete
Concrete is one of the oldest building materials known to man. It is made of aggregates (stone and sand), cement (binder or glue) and water.
When mixed in the correct proportions, it can be used for many different purposes.
For the general homeowner, there is normal concrete (used for shed floors, paths and driveways) and there is decorative concrete (generally used for driveways, pathways and entertaining areas).
This website has been designed to cater for both the experienced in concrete and the first time buyer.
This website will help you understand what you need from your concrete, the types of concrete that are available (Finishes), and give examples of where that concrete can be used (Applications).
Specifying your concrete can seem complicated, however if we find out where the concrete is going, what it is being used for and how you want it to look – We are all done!
Applications
Some types/finishes of concrete are better suited to certain applications, for instance, blasted concrete is better suited around swimming pools as it is not slippery and is not abrasive under soft wet feet.
Finishes
A finish is one of many effects that can be added to your concrete after it has set. They can enhance the look and function of your application and are a very popular choice.

Not only do we sell concrete, but we have a wide range of building supplies to suit your needs.
