Sand (Dot)
Applications & Uses
Sand with Dot Attribute
Sand with a "dot" attribute is a versatile construction aggregate known for its fine, consistent texture. This material is typically produced by crushing and screening natural stone or by processing natural deposits, resulting in uniform grains that are ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The "dot" attribute indicates a specific grading or certification, ensuring the sand meets certain standards for cleanliness and particle size distribution. This makes it especially suitable for use in concrete mixes, masonry work, and as a leveling base for pavers and patios. Its fine texture allows for smooth finishes and easy compaction, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects. Pros include excellent workability and minimal dust, while a potential con is that its fine nature may not provide optimal drainage in some applications.
