Sand (Fa-2, Coarse)
Applications & Uses
FA-2 Coarse Sand
FA-2 coarse sand is a high-quality construction aggregate characterized by its larger, gritty particles compared to standard fine sands. Produced by washing and screening natural sand deposits, this material meets FA-2 gradation standards, ensuring consistent coarseness and minimal dust content.
The coarse texture of FA-2 sand enhances drainage and stability, making it ideal for use in concrete mixes, asphalt production, bedding for pavers, and as a base layer for patios and walkways. Its larger particle size reduces compaction, which is beneficial for applications requiring free drainage, such as under slab fill or around pipes. However, the coarser grains may not provide the smoothest finish for plastering or play areas. Overall, FA-2 coarse sand is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial projects where strength, drainage, and stability are priorities.
