Do you know that among different types of construction materials, cement is one of the most widely used construction materials due to its unique characteristics?
In general, it can be said that cement is a type of adhesive and binding material that is used in building construction, and all kinds of cement artifacts, including mosaics, are also used in the implementation of structures and different parts of the building. Stay with us until the end of this article to learn about different types of cement artifacts and the use of white cement and colored cement in their production.
Introduction of cement artifacts
Cement products, as the name suggests, include products whose main ingredient is cement. These types of products are a combination of different types of cement i.e. colored cement and white cement, gravel, sand, water and other additives. In the following, various types of cement products are introduced.
Types of widely used cement artifacts(H3)
-All types of cement products can be classified into two general groups:
-The category of products that are specially used in the main construction sectors which include concrete, cement blocks, prefabricated structures, mosaics, etc.
-The category of products that have a decorative purpose and are used to beautify the facade and appearance of the building, including cement fences, benches,flowerpot, etc.
In the production of this type of cement artifacts, given the type of product and its application in the building, various types of cement are used, including white cement and colored cement.
In general, it can be said that cement artifacts are used in various places such as urban environments, parks, restaurants, cafes, etc. In the next section, you will learn more about the use of various types of cement artifacts.
What are the uses of various types of cement products?
We said earlier that concrete, cement blocks and prefabricated concrete structures are among the cement products that are used in the main parts of the building. In this section, the use of each product is briefly explained.
Concrete: Concrete is a mixture of cement, gravel, sand and water, which after hardening can be used to build all kinds of structures, including bridges, railway tracks, etc.
Cement block: These blocks, which are produced in the form of rectangular and hollow molds, are usually used to build walls and structures alike.
Precast concrete structures: These types of concrete structures are those parts that are produced in the factory and installed at the construction site. Some types of prefabricated concrete structures include: wall panels, prefabricated ceilings, some types of flooring and such.
Another type of cement products that are mostly decorative are:
- Gazebo
- Barbecue
- Pool
- Fountain
- Types of cement fences
- Round garden table
- Cement table and chair
- flower pot
- Mosaic and flooring
Decorative cement products are very diverse and are sold in different designs and colors. In the production of these kinds of products, the white and colored cement are used and based on the usage type of the building and the installation location of these structures, any type of product is used with the appropriate design and color.
The most important advantages of using cement artifacts
It might be asked that, what advantages can the use of cement artifacts have? Some of the most important advantages of using cement artifacts are:
- Flexibility in design
- Possibility of easy maintenance
- High resistance to air humidity and temperature
- High lifespan of construction artifacts
Among the other advantages of using cement products compared to other building materials, including wood materials, is that cement products have high resistance and less sensitivity than wood. Hence, they have a longer lifespan and higher strength.
Sculpting with cement
Many people have raised this question that whether it is possible for ordinary people like children and teenagers to sculpt with cement or not?! In response, we must say, yes! Using cement for sculpting can be a great opportunity for your children’s artistic creativity to flourish.
Since cement is available to almost everyone and is a flexible material, it can be used in the field of sculpture and creation of works of art. You can create beautiful sculptures, fountains, small works of art and so on using cement.

Also, it is necessary to pay enough attention to the instructions and guidelines related to the use of cement and appropriate tools for modeling and shaping it.
Therefore, those interested in the art of sculpting, by receiving the necessary educational tips, can also use cement for sculpting.
Final word: getting to know the types of cement products
Cement is one of the types of building materials widely used in building construction, from which various products are made, and due to its advantages and characteristics, the use of these products has highly been regarded in the past years, especially in public spaces and urban elements.
In this article, we introduced you to the types of cement products and their uses, and we told you what advantages and uses these products have. We also pointed out how the use of white and colored cement can play a role in the variety of designs and colors of these products. We hope reading this article was useful for you!
