Sand (Fine, Manufactured)
Applications & Uses
Fine Manufactured Sand
Fine manufactured sand is a precision-engineered aggregate produced by mechanically crushing rock or stone to create consistently sized, fine particles. Unlike natural sand, this product is carefully screened to ensure uniformity and is free from organic impurities, making it a reliable choice for construction projects requiring high-quality, clean sand.
The fine texture of this sand provides a smooth finish, making it ideal for masonry work, plastering, and as a component in concrete mixes where a dense, even surface is desired. Its manufactured origin ensures minimal clay or silt content, reducing the risk of shrinkage or cracking in finished surfaces. Common applications include use as a bedding layer for pavers, in mortar mixes, and for leveling surfaces in both residential and commercial settings. While it compacts well and offers excellent workability, it may not be suitable for drainage applications where coarser aggregates are preferred.
