Although we may not post as much or fast as others , trust us — we’re still getting the work done and doing it the right way.

Quality work takes time, and lately we’ve been focused on staying caught up and keeping our standards where they need to be instead of constantly being on social media.

Here’s a few sneak peeks of some projects we’ve been busy working on lately. We appreciate everyone’s patience and support while we continue pushing forward.

Fast is easy. Quality takes work.

🧱 Wire Mesh vs. 1/2” Rebar — What Are You Actually Getting?

Concrete will crack. That’s normal.

The real question is:
How well does the slab hold together after it cracks?

There are two common reinforcement options in residential concrete:

⸻

🔹 6x6 Wire Mesh

• Thin welded steel grid
• Lower material cost
• Faster to install
• Primarily helps control small shrinkage cracks

Wire mesh is often chosen because it’s the more economical route. It gives the slab basic crack control, but it adds very little structural integrity under load.

It does not significantly increase the slab’s ability to bridge weight, resist settlement, or handle heavy stress over time.

⸻

🔹 #4 (1/2”) Rebar Spaced 2’ On Center

• Solid 1/2” steel bars
• Significantly stronger structurally
• Better load distribution
• Greater resistance to movement and settlement

Rebar reinforces the slab so it behaves more like one structural unit when weight is applied.

It doesn’t prevent cracks —
but it helps the concrete continue performing when they occur.

⸻

💡 The difference comes down to long-term performance.

Mesh is typically used to reduce cost.

Rebar is used to increase structural durability.

If you’re comparing bids, ask:

• What reinforcement is included?
• Is it supported properly in the slab?
• What PSI mix is being used?

You won’t see what’s inside after it’s poured —
but that’s what determines how it performs 10–20 years from now.

🧱 Type I vs. Type IL Cement — What Changed?

If you had concrete poured years ago, it was most likely made with traditional Type I Portland cement.

Today, most ready-mix plants supply Type IL (Portland Limestone Cement).

In fact, many local plants have fully shifted production to Type IL — meaning that is the primary (and often only) cement blend they now ship in ready-mix trucks.

Here’s the difference:

🔹 Type I (Traditional Portland Cement)
• Higher clinker content
• Long-standing industry standard
• More energy-intensive to produce

🔹 Type IL (Portland Limestone Cement)
• 5–15% clinker replaced with finely ground limestone
• Lower energy required during manufacturing
• Reduced carbon footprint
• Meets ASTM strength requirements

Clinker is the most energy-intensive and costly part of cement production. Reducing clinker lowers manufacturing energy use and emissions at the plant level.

Concrete remains the second most consumed material in the world after water. As environmental standards and production methods evolve, cement blends evolve as well.

Type IL is now widely used across the country and meets required performance standards.

As a homeowner, it’s okay to ask questions like:

• What PSI mix is being used?
• What reinforcement is included?
• What standards are being followed?

Understanding what goes into your concrete helps you make an informed decision.

At Frick Concrete LLC, we believe customers should know what they’re paying for.

Because concrete isn’t something you want to redo twice.

At Frick Concrete LLC, quality always comes first. During cold and wet conditions, we avoid pouring residential patios and driveways to prevent issues like concrete blanket discoloration and unnecessary mess around your home. Stay tuned for more of our projects this winter!

That doesn’t mean we slow down—we shift our focus to foundations, commercial work, and framing barndominiums/pole barns 💪
Here’s a recent foundation we just completed—built right, on schedule, and ready for what comes next.

If you’re planning a project or want to get on our schedule when conditions improve, reach out today.
