How to Use a Catalog of Concrete Molds

If you regularly use concrete as part of your construction projects, it can be dizzying to navigate the world of concrete molds.

There are silicone molds, large concrete molds, planters, and more, but which size, material, and design do you need?

You need to dive into a concrete mold catalog to answer these questions.

But what actually is a concrete mold catalog, and how are you supposed to use one?

What is a concrete mold catalog?

A concrete mold catalog is an organised collection of various designs, shapes, and sizes of molds used for creating concrete objects. Concrete suppliers often collate these useful brochures to help you, as the customer, choose the best concrete molds for your various projects.

As such, they're a useful resource that shares information about price and shipping, splits concrete molds into top categories, and often offers further advice and details about the various concrete mold listings.

Essential Tools

A concrete mold is an essential tool for creating and shaping various concrete objects and elements required during construction.

You need concrete paver molds to create the perfect pavers, yet you'll need a different mold for retaining walls, planters, decorative panels, or other elements.

These molds can be made of durable materials like plastic, silicone, or metal to ensure the concrete takes the desired shape and that you can easily remove the mold once the concrete is set.

Due to the variety of concrete forms you need, knowing the best molds for your specific purposes can be difficult.

That's where supplier catalog services can come in to provide the advice you need.

How Should You Use a Catalog of Concrete Molds?

Any concrete catalog worth its salt will supply you with plenty of information to help you make well-informed decisions about the concrete molds you need.

In a concrete mold catalog, expect to see:

Pictures or illustrations

A catalog will highlight the various mold designs available through pictures and illustrations, along with helpful details like the dimensions and any unique features.

Material specifications

You need to know whether the mold is made of plastic, silicone, or metal. The best catalogs will then share any relevant information on durability and reusability.

Product Codes

It should provide product codes, item numbers, or another way to help customers easily identify and order the desired molds.

Pricing information

You need to know the prices for all items and any available discounts or special offers. Many concrete users are bulk buyers and return customers, so sharing all relevant offers is important for the supplier. As the customer, you should look out for any discounts for repeat purchases.

Ongoing care

A catalog should feature information on properly using and caring for the molds for optimum performance.

Contact information

There should be contact information for the manufacturer or supplier, including an email address and phone number, in case the customer has queries.

Warranty and return policies

Mistakes can sometimes happen - that's why a catalog will also provide any warranty or return policy information.

Concrete Molds at Certified MTP

Our wide range of concrete cube molds come in different materials, such as plastic, bronze, and stainless steel. The difference in price is often down to the material used, as well as the manufacturing process and overall quality of the mold.

Each material has its unique properties, advantages, and drawbacks, which can all affect the price and performance of the molds. Of course, the dimensions also affect the price (bigger molds are more expensive.)

Depending on your budget and the scale of your project, you can expect a wide spectrum of potential costs.

Plastic

Plastic molds are often the most affordable as they are cheap and easy to make. They are lightweight and easy to handle, making them a popular choice. Yet, they are limited compared to metal molds in that they are less durable.

●Deslauriers 2EOC Three Piece Plastic Econ-O-Cube Mold - $79.98

●Deslauriers 6EOC Concrete Cube Mold, Plastic, 6" X 6" (150MM) - $34.98

●Gilson HM-291, 150mm Plastic Cube Mold - $44.98

Bronze/brass

Bronze or brass molds are more durable than plastic and offer excellent corrosion resistance, but they can be heavier and more difficult to handle. The price for bronze molds tends to fall in the middle range.

●Gilson HM-294M, 50x50mm, Bronze - $508.98

●Cube Mold Kit, Bronze, 2in X 2in - $649.98

●Brass Cube Mold, 2in X 2in, Three-Gang - $749.98

Stainless steel

Stainless steel molds are often the most expensive option among the three due to their high-quality material and the precise manufacturing process. Stainless steel offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and strength, making these molds suitable for heavy-duty or frequent use. However, these smaller molds offer great value:

●Cube Mold Kit, Stainless Steel, 2in X 2in - $599.98

●Gilson HM-296M, 50x50mm, Stainless Steel - $541.98
