Sand (#11, Manufactured)
Applications & Uses
Manufactured Sand in #11 Size Range
Manufactured sand in a #11 size range is a finely crushed aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks, typically limestone or granite, into uniform, angular particles. Unlike natural sand, this product is engineered for consistency and quality, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of construction applications.
The #11 size range refers to very fine particles, making this sand ideal for projects requiring a smooth, compactable base. Its manufactured nature means fewer impurities and a more controlled gradation, which enhances workability and reduces voids in concrete or mortar mixes. Common uses include masonry work, concrete production, bedding for pavers, and as a leveling layer for patios and walkways. The angular shape of the particles improves interlock and stability, though it may be less comfortable for barefoot areas compared to rounded sands. Overall, manufactured #11 sand offers excellent compaction, minimal dust, and reliable performance for both residential and commercial projects.
