Power Sand

Power Sand is a specialized construction aggregate designed for high-performance applications where superior compaction and stability are required. Manufactured from finely crushed stone or natural deposits, Power Sand features a consistent particle size and texture that enhances its load-bearing capacity and workability.

The unique composition of Power Sand makes it ideal for use as a base material in paver installations, concrete mixes, and as a leveling layer beneath slabs and footings. Its excellent compaction properties help prevent settling and shifting, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity. Power Sand is also commonly used in sports fields, playgrounds, and landscaping projects where a stable, smooth surface is essential. While its fine texture offers a smooth finish and easy spreading, it may not be suitable for drainage applications where coarser aggregates are preferred.
