Medium Rip Rap with Frost Resistance

Medium rip rap with frost resistance is a durable, coarse aggregate designed to withstand harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Produced from natural stone, this material is typically quarried and then broken into medium-sized, irregular pieces. The frost-resistant attribute ensures the stone maintains its integrity and resists cracking or spalling in cold climates, making it ideal for regions with significant temperature fluctuations.

The medium size range offers a balance between stability and coverage, making it effective for erosion control, shoreline protection, and slope stabilization. It is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects such as retaining walls, drainage channels, culvert outlets, and around bridge abutments. The frost-resistant quality is especially beneficial for long-term performance in outdoor applications, reducing maintenance needs. While its irregular shape provides excellent interlocking and resistance to movement, it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.
