Concrete Sand - Gray

Concrete sand in a gray color is a versatile, coarse aggregate specifically graded for use in concrete mixes. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone or gravel, this sand features angular particles that provide excellent bonding properties when mixed with cement and water. Its consistent texture and minimal fines ensure optimal strength and durability in finished concrete products.

The gray hue blends seamlessly with most concrete applications, making it ideal for both structural and decorative projects. Concrete sand is commonly used in residential and commercial settings for mixing concrete, bedding pavers, creating level bases for patios and walkways, and as a key component in mortar mixes. Its coarser texture improves drainage and reduces the risk of shifting or settling, though it is less suitable for applications requiring a very smooth finish. Overall, concrete sand is valued for its strength, stability, and reliable performance in a wide range of construction projects.
