Why DIAMONDCRETE®
Designed and supplied by Holcim UK, Diamondcrete is engineered using carefully selected, controlled binders and admixtures to achieve its enhanced technical properties. It offers a secure fast-track solution to challenging construction aspects. For complex placements, the product can be supplied as a Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) to consistency class SF1, by arrangement. As a high-performance solution from Holcim, Diamondcrete is crucial for projects where failure is not an option and later access for maintenance is either restricted or impossible, offering the certainty of superior, lasting performance. Proper curing is essential, with final curing recommended to continue for at least 7 days.
