Concrete Sand (Washed, Concrete, Spec, Modified)
Applications & Uses
Concrete Sand - Washed, Concrete, Spec, Modified Color
Concrete sand with a washed, concrete, spec attribute and modified color is a high-quality aggregate specifically processed for use in concrete mixes and construction applications. The "washed" designation means the sand has been thoroughly cleaned to remove silt, clay, and other impurities, resulting in a cleaner product that enhances the strength and durability of finished concrete. The "concrete spec" ensures the sand meets industry standards for particle size and composition, making it ideal for structural applications.
The modified color offers a unique aesthetic, making this sand suitable for projects where appearance matters, such as exposed concrete surfaces, decorative walkways, or colored mortar. Its clean, consistent texture improves workability and finish, while the absence of fines reduces dust and shrinkage. Common uses include mixing concrete for slabs, footings, and masonry work, as well as bedding for pavers and as a leveling base. The main advantage of this product is its reliability and performance in both residential and commercial projects, though it may be less suitable for applications requiring high compaction, such as under roadways.
