Mason Sand (#8 Minus, Masonry)
Applications & Uses
Mason Sand, Masonry Grade, #8 Minus
Mason sand in a #8 minus size range is a finely graded, masonry-quality aggregate specifically processed for smoothness and consistency. Produced by washing and screening natural sand deposits, this material is free of larger particles, resulting in a uniform, fine texture ideal for detailed work.
The #8 minus sizing ensures that all particles are smaller than 1/16 inch, which is crucial for creating tight, even joints in brick and block masonry, as well as for mixing high-quality mortar. Its fine, clean composition also makes it a top choice for plastering, laying pavers, and creating smooth bedding layers for patios and walkways. The masonry attribute means it is engineered for superior workability and minimal impurities, reducing the risk of cracks or weak spots in finished projects. While its fine texture offers excellent finish and ease of use, it is less suitable for applications requiring drainage or structural fill.
