Concrete Sand (Washed, Concrete, Gray)
Applications & Uses
Concrete Sand - Washed, Gray
Concrete sand is a high-quality, washed aggregate with a consistent gray color, specifically produced for use in concrete mixes. The washing process removes clay, silt, and dust, resulting in a clean sand that enhances the strength and durability of finished concrete. Its granular texture ensures optimal bonding with cement and aggregates, making it a reliable choice for structural applications.
The washed attribute is crucial, as it minimizes impurities that could weaken concrete or cause staining. This makes concrete sand ideal for mixing concrete for foundations, sidewalks, patios, and driveways, as well as for bedding pavers and pipes. Its clean composition also improves drainage and reduces compaction issues, though it may not be suitable for applications requiring a tightly compacted base. Overall, washed concrete sand is valued for its versatility, cleanliness, and performance in both residential and commercial construction projects.
