ok. so how much sand and cement (in 1 ton bags and 25 kilo bags respectively) do i need per 1000 bricks and per 250 breeze blocks? (the mortar ratio is 4 sand to 1 cement and im using standard metric bricks and blocks) thanks in advance peeps
Personally I would avoid the 1 ton bags of sand, they are much too heavy to carry and manipulate. Buy smaller bags of sand.
how much sand and cement to lay 1000 8x16 Blocks
sand and cement for 3000 units of 6 cement blocks
what is the cement /sand ratio for a 4 or 6 inches hollow block to arrive to a 350 psi finished product?? how many days curing under the sun before we can deliver??
7 bags of masonry cement per 1000 bricks (minimum 6 maximum 8, but usually 7 is a good amount) Nota Bene: the ration is not 4 to 1, that would be disasterously week The ratio is 3 sand to 1 cement, or slightly less than 3 parts sand to each 1 part of cement. 1 ton of sand per 1000 bricks Now for the blocks, you'll need about 8 bags of masonry or type S cement plus one more ton of sand.
