Rip Rap (R-6, White)
Applications & Uses
R-6 Rip Rap in White
R-6 Rip Rap in a striking white color is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material features angular edges that help it interlock and stay in place, even under heavy water flow or harsh weather conditions.
The R-6 size range refers to stones typically measuring 12 to 18 inches in diameter, making them ideal for high-energy environments where significant protection is needed. The white color not only offers a clean, decorative appearance but also reflects sunlight, which can help reduce heat absorption in certain applications.
R-6 Rip Rap is widely used in both residential and commercial projects, including retaining walls, riverbanks, culvert protection, and landscaping accents. Its large size and angularity provide excellent resistance to displacement, though it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface. The material's durability and visual appeal make it a preferred choice for projects demanding both function and aesthetics.
