When Buying Cement…
Cement is a very important material as it is the most extensively used binding material in construction field. Beside from going for top brands one should also check the following things before buying cement.
1) Cement older than 90 days should not be used. So the Week, Month and Year marked on the cement bag should be checked carefully before buying.
2) Cement should not show any hard lumps. Presence of hard lumps means moisture has entered in the cement.
3) The cement should feel smooth when touched or rubbed in between fingers.
4) The colour of the cement should be a uniform grey colour.
5) When thrown in water the cement should float.
