Applications & Uses
Concrete Sand (#200 to #4) for Concrete Applications
Concrete sand in the #200 to #4 size range is a versatile, medium-coarse aggregate specifically graded for use in concrete mixes. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone or gravel, this sand features particles that range from fine (#200 sieve) to coarse (#4 sieve), ensuring optimal gradation for strength and workability in concrete.
The carefully controlled size distribution of this sand is crucial for producing durable, high-quality concrete. Finer particles fill voids between larger grains, improving compaction and reducing the risk of segregation, while the coarser fraction enhances drainage and structural integrity. This makes it ideal for residential and commercial concrete projects such as slabs, footings, sidewalks, and driveways. Additionally, concrete sand's clean, angular grains promote strong bonding with cement, resulting in a smooth, stable finish. Its gradation also makes it suitable for use as a leveling base under pavers and as a bedding material for pipes. The main advantage of this sand is its balance between workability and strength, though it is not typically used for decorative purposes due to its utilitarian appearance.
