Mason Sand (Sharp)
Applications & Uses
Sharp Mason Sand
Sharp mason sand is a high-quality, fine aggregate distinguished by its angular, gritty texture. Unlike rounded sands, sharp sand is produced by crushing and screening natural stone, resulting in particles with jagged edges. This unique attribute enhances its binding properties, making it ideal for applications where strength and stability are essential.
The sharpness of this mason sand improves its performance in mortar mixes, providing better grip and reducing slippage between bricks or blocks. It is commonly used for bricklaying, blockwork, and rendering, as well as for screeding and as a base for paving stones. In landscaping, sharp mason sand is favored for creating firm, level surfaces and for use in sandboxes where a more compacted, stable base is desired. While its angular texture offers superior bonding and drainage, it may be less comfortable for barefoot play areas compared to softer, rounded sands.
