Description
Cement is a key construction material widely used in building homes and other structures. It is a fine, gray powder composed mainly of limestone, clay, and silica, which, when mixed with water, forms a paste that binds sand and gravel together to produce concrete. This concrete is essential for creating strong and durable structural components such as foundations, beams, columns, slabs, and walls.
The most commonly used type in residential construction is Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), valued for its high strength and relatively fast setting time. Another type, Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), is also used for home construction due to its improved workability, resistance to chemical attacks, and long-term durability.
Cement is used in almost every part of a house—from laying bricks and plastering walls to flooring and roofing. Its ability to harden and gain strength over time makes it a crucial material in ensuring the stability and longevity of buildings.
