Screenings (Type 1, Dust)
Applications & Uses
Screenings with Dust - Type 1 Size
Screenings with dust in a Type 1 size range are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the aggregate screening process. This material consists of very small particles, including stone dust, which gives it a powdery texture and excellent compaction properties.
The presence of dust in these screenings makes them ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required. Type 1 size ensures the particles are fine enough to fill gaps and lock together tightly, making this material a popular choice for setting pavers, creating a solid base for walkways, or as a leveling layer under patios. In addition, screenings with dust are often used for horse arenas, bike paths, and as a top dressing for gravel driveways to reduce dust and improve surface stability.
Pros include superior compaction, minimal shifting, and a smooth finish. However, the fine dust content can lead to tracking and may become muddy when wet, so it's best used in well-drained areas or beneath a surface layer. Overall, screenings with dust in a Type 1 size offer a versatile, cost-effective solution for both residential and commercial hardscape projects.
