Sand - Flume, Cycloned

Flume, cycloned sand is a high-quality construction aggregate produced by processing raw sand through a cyclone separator, which removes fine particles and impurities. This results in a cleaner, more consistent material ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.

The cycloning process enhances the sand's cleanliness and uniformity, making it especially suitable for use in concrete mixes, mortar, and as a bedding material for pavers and pipes. Its flume-washed attribute ensures minimal dust and organic content, reducing the risk of contamination in sensitive projects. Commonly used in both residential and commercial settings, this sand is valued for its excellent drainage properties and ease of compaction. While its superior cleanliness is a major advantage, it may be less suitable for applications requiring a higher percentage of fines for binding, such as certain types of plaster or fill.
