Sand (Manufactured, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
Manufactured, Unwashed Sand
Manufactured, unwashed sand is a construction aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks into fine particles. Unlike natural sand, this product is engineered for consistency in particle shape and size, though it retains some dust and fine materials due to its unwashed state.
The unwashed attribute means the sand contains more fines and dust, which can enhance compaction and binding in certain applications, such as under pavers, in concrete mixes, or as a base for patios and walkways. However, the presence of dust may not be ideal for projects requiring a clean, smooth finish, such as plastering or play areas. Manufactured sand is valued for its reliable quality and availability, making it a practical choice for both residential and commercial construction where compaction and stability are priorities.
