BUILDERS CHOICE – Packaged Products
The Builders Choice brand was born out of BGC’s long and highly successful experience in the industry.
Hydrolime
A building lime recommended for the use in cement mortars and renders. Mortars and renders that contain Hydrolime have better workability, greater bond strength and flexibility in its hardened state.
Hydrolime also gives mortars and renders the ability to ‘self heal’ fine cracks that may appear over time.
Lime ‘n’ Lite
Lime ‘n’ Lite is a pre-blended cement specifically designed for M2 and M3 mortars. Made from an equal blend (1:1 by volume) of Ultra Creme and Hydrolime, it takes the guesswork out of on-site batching.
Lime ‘n’ Lite is the perfect product if you want a cream-coloured mortar when laying bricks or blocks. Lime ‘n’ Lite also extends board life and does not require air-entrainers to be added to the mix.
Lime ‘n’ Grey
A pre-blended grey coloured cement specifically designed for M2 and M3 mortars. Made from an equal blend (1:1 by volume) of Grey Cement and Hydrolime, it takes the guesswork out of on-site batching.
Lime ‘n’ Grey is the perfect cement for all brick and block laying applications.
Mortars containing Lime ‘n’ Grey will have a longer board life and do not require air-entrainers to be added to the mix.
Lime ‘n’ Grey Coastal M4
A pre-blended grey coloured cement specifically designed for M4 mortar. Made from 2/3 : 1/3 blend (67% : 33% by volume) of Grey Cement and Hydrolime, it takes the guesswork out of on-site batching.
Lime ‘n’ Grey Coastal M4 is the perfect cement for all brick and block laying.
Mortars containing Lime ‘n’ Grey Coastal M4 will have a longer board life and do not require air-entrainers to be added to the mix.
Lime ‘n’ Lite Coastal M4
A pre-blended white coloured cement specifically designed for M4 mortar. Made from 2/3 : 1/3 blend (67% : 33% by volume) of White Cement and Hydrolime, it takes the guesswork out of on-site batching.
Lime ‘n’ Lite Coastal M4 is the perfect cement for all brick and block laying.
Mortars containing Lime ‘n’ Lite Coastal M4 will have a longer board life and do not require air-entrainers to be added to the mix.
Low Heat Cement
Low Heat Cement is a specially engineered cement for use where the heat evolved during the cement hydration process needs to be reduced. In mass concrete situations using normal Type GP cements, this heat of hydration can cause significant temperature gradients within the structure. This may result in thermal cracking. The use of Low Heat Cement (Type LH) can minimise this effect.
Low Heat Cement can also be used in soil stabilisation, underground mining and marine concrete applications where engineering properties such as adjustability and durability are required.
Plasterers Cement
A pre-blended mix of grey cement and hydrated lime specifically designed for rendering purposes. It takes the guesswork out of on-site batching.
Plasterers Cement is the perfect product for your rendering requirements.
Plasterers Cement does not require air-entrainers to be added to the mix.
