Sand (Class 1)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a Class 1 Size Range
Class 1 sand is a high-quality, fine-grained construction aggregate known for its consistent particle size and cleanliness. Produced by carefully screening and washing natural sand deposits, Class 1 sand is free from large particles and debris, ensuring a smooth, uniform texture.
The fine size of Class 1 sand makes it ideal for applications where a smooth finish and excellent compaction are required. It is commonly used in masonry work, as a base for pavers, in concrete mixes, and for leveling surfaces in landscaping projects. Its uniformity also makes it suitable for playgrounds, sports fields, and as a top dressing for lawns. The main advantage of Class 1 sand is its ability to fill voids and create stable, even surfaces, though it may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates.
