Screenings (Crusher Fines)
Applications & Uses
Screenings with Crusher Fines
Screenings with crusher fines are a byproduct of the crushing process, consisting of very small particles of stone and dust. These fines are created when larger rocks are crushed down, resulting in a material that is finer than traditional gravel or sand. The crusher fines attribute means the screenings are especially fine and compactable, making them ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required.
This material is commonly used as a base layer for pavers, patios, and walkways, as well as for filling joints between stones. Its fine texture allows for excellent compaction, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. Crusher fines screenings are also popular for creating firm, low-maintenance pathways and as a leveling layer beneath artificial turf. While they offer superior stability and a smooth finish, they may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates, so proper installation and grading are important in areas prone to heavy rainfall.
