Sand, Industrial Screenings, 3/8" Minus

Industrial sand screenings in a 3/8" minus size range are finely crushed particles produced during the screening of larger aggregates. This material consists of sand and very small stone fragments, all passing through a 3/8" sieve, resulting in a blend of fine and coarse particles.

The 3/8" minus grading ensures excellent compaction and a stable base, making it ideal for use as a bedding layer under pavers, slabs, and bricks. Its fine texture also makes it suitable for industrial applications such as manufacturing, filtration, or as a component in concrete mixes. The screenings attribute means this sand contains minimal dust and fines, reducing mess and improving worksite cleanliness. However, because it compacts so well, it may not be the best choice for drainage applications where water flow is a priority. Overall, this versatile material is valued for its stability, ease of use, and suitability for both residential and commercial construction projects.
