Sand in Type B Size Range
Type B sand is a versatile construction aggregate characterized by its specific particle size distribution, which typically falls between coarse and fine sand grades. This material is produced by screening and washing natural sand deposits to achieve a consistent Type B gradation, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of applications.
The Type B size range offers a balanced blend of particle sizes, making it ideal for use as a base material in paving, trench backfill, and pipe bedding. Its gradation allows for good compaction while still providing adequate drainage, which is essential for stable foundations and preventing water accumulation. Type B sand is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, including under concrete slabs, in utility trenches, and as a leveling layer for patios and walkways. Its main advantages are ease of handling, reliable compaction, and versatility, though it may not be suitable for decorative finishes or applications requiring extremely fine or coarse sand.Applications & Uses
