A concrete stain that is mixed with water. Water based stains are not as reactive as acid based stains and therefore safer to use.

An admixture that either increases the slump of freshly mixed concrete without increasing water content or maintains workability with a reduced amount of water without affecting the strength.

The ratio of the amount of water to the amount of cement in a concrete mixture. The key to producing high-quality decorative concrete is to keep the
water-cement ratio as low as possible without sacrificing workability.

A woven mesh of wire strands, welded at each intersection, used to
reinforce concrete slabs. Also called welded wire fabric.

A Portland cement with a low iron content that hydrates to a white paste.Often used in integrally colored concrete to produce pure, bright color tones, especially pastels.
