Sand (Flume, Fine)
Applications & Uses
Flume Fine Sand
Flume fine sand is a high-quality, finely graded construction aggregate specifically processed for use in flume systems and other applications requiring precise particle sizing. Its fine texture ensures excellent workability and smooth finishes, making it ideal for projects where a uniform, compactable base is essential.
The fine grading of this sand allows for superior compaction and minimal voids, which is crucial in flume construction to prevent water seepage and maintain structural integrity. It is commonly used in residential and commercial settings for lining water channels, bedding pipes, creating smooth sub-bases for pavers, and as a component in mortar mixes. The fine attribute also reduces the risk of scratching or abrasion, making it suitable for applications where a softer, more refined finish is desired. However, its fine nature means it may not be ideal for drainage layers, as it can impede water flow compared to coarser aggregates.
