Rugby White Cement

Perfect for Architectural Features

Rugby® White is a white Portland cement with similar setting and hardening properties to standard grey cements. This makes it perfectly suited for production of attractive and durable visual concrete, mortars and renders.

 

Rugby White Cement

Colour-forming materials (principally oxides of iron) are excluded or minimised in the manufacturing process in order to produce a white cement.

White or light coloured finishes may be obtained with selected aggregates or sands and the cement also provides an excellent basis for the use of pigments to produce coloured mortars and concretes.
