A TRULY GREEN CONCRETE FLOOR SOLUTION
GO GREEN WITH TYPE 1L CEMENT
According to the United Nations Climate Change Committee, by 2030, zero-carbon solutions could be competitive alternatives in sectors representing over 70% of global emissions. Concria’s home country of Finland aims to be carbon-neutral by 2035. The world is changing, and we need to be ready for that change.
Type 1L cement, a Portland-limestone cement, is engineered for sustainability, reducing the carbon footprint of concrete while delivering reliable strength and performance. Its unique composition makes it ideal for both structural and decorative applications in commercial and residential construction, allowing builders to support eco-friendly building practices.

SAVE UP TO 60% ON CO2 EMISSIONS
Type 1L cement is a key material in reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the construction industry. By incorporating finely ground limestone, this cement type helps reduce overall CO₂ production without sacrificing quality or durability.
BENEFITS:
Lower Carbon Impact
Cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 60% compared to standard cement, helping reduce the environmental footprint of each project.
Proven Strength and Performance
Delivers long-lasting strength and durability while maintaining reliable structural performance in polished concrete and structural applications.
Supports Green Building Standards
Meets modern sustainability requirements and contributes to greener construction practices for both commercial and residential builds.
Addressing Common Type 1L Cement Challenge
While Type 1L cement supports more sustainable construction, it can also present performance-related challenges during finishing and polishing. Variations in surface density and workability can impact both appearance and durability if not properly addressed.
Surface Finish Variability
The higher limestone content may sometimes lead to inconsistencies in finish, especially when polished, potentially causing uneven gloss and aggregate exposure.
Reduced Workability
Due to the fine limestone particles, mixes may be less workable in applications requiring smooth finishes or intricate surface detailing.
Surface Durability
Slight variations in hardness can increase susceptibility to scratching or dusting if surfaces aren’t adequately densified.
The Concria Solution: Enhancing Type 1L Cement with Dry Shake
Concria’s dry shake hardeners are engineered to eliminate these concerns by improving surface density, appearance, and long-term performance. By strengthening the top layer of the slab, Concria products create a harder, more uniform surface that delivers reliable results on polished concrete floors.
Surface Strengthening
Concria densifies the top layer, reducing the risk of scratching and improving long-term durability.
Consistent Gloss
Achieve a more uniform sheen across the surface, minimizing gloss variations that can appear in certain areas.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Ideal for decorative applications, Concria dry shakes improve clarity and reflectivity, delivering a professional and visually appealing finish.
