Sand (#11)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a #11 Size Range
Sand in a #11 size range is a finely graded construction aggregate, typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or quarried rock. The #11 designation indicates a very fine particle size, making this sand ideal for applications where a smooth, even texture is essential.
The fine grading of #11 sand enhances its workability and finish, making it a preferred choice for masonry work, mortar mixes, and as a leveling base for pavers and bricks. Its small particle size allows for tight compaction, which is beneficial for creating stable bedding layers and achieving a polished surface in concrete or plaster projects. However, because of its fineness, #11 sand is less suitable for drainage applications compared to coarser aggregates. Overall, this material is valued for its versatility and ability to deliver a clean, professional finish in both residential and commercial construction.
