Brickwork Stains

Efflorescence is one type of white deposit found on masonry. It is formed by water, within the construction material, reacting with the natural salts contained within them and the mortar.

Welcome to Abercarn Concrete Products
Abercarn Concrete Products and Building Supplies is a family run business based in South Wales, that has been trading and serving the Gwent area (Newport, Cwmbran, Pontypool, Blackwood, Newbridge, Crosskeys, Cardiff, Caerphilly areas and beyond) since 1982. The company started off making it's own unique concrete blocks and paving but has expanded the range many times over the years, from the manufacture of coping stones and pillar caps to the wide range of decrotative patio slabs and ornamental features made at present.

 Since that time we have handled many Industrial Contracts such as Concrete manhole cover production and Local Authority Work. Abercarn Concrete Products (ACP) will also work at the other end of the scale producing 'one off' bespoke products if the customer has or requires a custom made mould.

 The company has grown by branching off and stocking building materials. We can now supply the materials needed for large scale projects - for example a 'self bulid' or smaller jobs like a garden wall. The main advantage suppling builders materials and also making our own concrete products gives us is, that we can offer a great services and knowledge to all customers at affordable prices.
