Sand (Fine, Stucco)
Applications & Uses
Fine Stucco Sand
Fine stucco sand is a high-quality construction aggregate specifically graded for use in stucco applications. Its fine texture ensures a smooth, even finish, making it ideal for mixing with cement and lime to create a consistent stucco base or finish coat. The sand is typically sourced from natural deposits and carefully screened to achieve a uniform, fine particle size.
The fine grading of this sand is crucial for achieving a seamless, crack-resistant stucco surface. It allows for easy spreading and troweling, resulting in a professional appearance and strong adhesion to walls. Beyond stucco, this sand is also suitable for masonry work, plastering, and as a leveling base for pavers. Its smooth texture reduces the risk of scratching or damaging surfaces, but it is less suitable for applications requiring drainage or compaction, such as concrete mixes or bedding layers. Overall, fine stucco sand is a preferred choice for finishing work where smoothness and workability are essential.
