Sand (#23)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a #23 Size Range
Sand in a #23 size range is a finely graded construction aggregate, typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or by processing natural deposits. The #23 designation indicates a very fine particle size, making this sand ideal for applications where a smooth, even texture is essential.
The fine grading of #23 sand enhances its workability and finish, making it a preferred choice for masonry work, plastering, 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 for use in playgrounds or sports fields where a softer, smoother surface is desired. However, due to its fineness, #23 sand may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates, and it can be more prone to displacement in high-traffic areas. Overall, this sand is valued for its versatility and ability to deliver a refined finish in both residential and commercial projects.
