Timber and materials supplier Jewson is to stock white cement for builders in its 500 branches - sourced from the world's largest manufacturer of this product, Aalborg Portland.

Aalborg White cement, which has been on the market for 25 years, provides exceptional quality and offers one of the most uniform and consistent white cement products in the world, Jewson said.

The purity of the limestone abundant in Northern Denmark, combined with Aalborg Portland's experience in the market, helps contribute to the material's quality.

Aalborg White cement is CE marked and offers high reflection and strength, in addition to sulphate resistance and low alkali content. Modern techniques ensure that the environment, as well as workers' safety, is protected.

Stephen Bennett, procurement manager at Jewson, said: "We hope that our existing and new customers will recognise the quality that Aalborg White cement has to offer."
