Any man worth his salt should know the difference between cement, concrete, and mortar. I am not that man. Theyâre all just gray sludge to me. But This Old House explains the difference between the three in a very easy to understand way. Cement is a fine powder that hardens when mixed with water and is used in many building mixes. Concrete is a mix of cement, sand, and coarse stone. When wet, itâs pretty thin. Mortar is a mix of cement, sand, and limestone and itâs much thicker than concrete. Mortar is used to hold things like bricks and stones together. Iâm probably going to forget all that and just ask the guy who works at Home Depot the next (first) time I need cement, concrete, or mortar but hey, the more you know.
âPortland cementâ is the generic term for the type of cement used in virtually all concrete. In its simplest form, concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates. The paste (portland cement and water) coats the surface of the aggregates. Through a chemical reaction called âhydration,â the paste hardens and gains strength to form the rock-like mass we know as concrete.So, there is no such thing as a cement sidewalk; the proper term is concrete sidewalk.
