Sand (Washed, Fine)
Applications & Uses
Washed Fine Sand
Washed fine sand is a high-quality construction aggregate characterized by its small, uniform particle size and thorough washing process. The washing removes clay, silt, and dust, resulting in a clean, smooth-textured sand ideal for a variety of applications. Its fine grading ensures a soft, even finish, making it especially suitable for projects where a smooth surface is essential.
This material is commonly used in masonry work, plastering, and as a bedding layer for pavers and bricks. In residential settings, washed fine sand is popular for creating children's sandboxes, pool bases, and as a top dressing for lawns. Commercially, it's valued for use in concrete mixes, mortar, and as a leveling agent under paving stones. The main advantages of washed fine sand are its excellent workability, minimal dust, and superior finish quality. However, its fine texture means it is not ideal for drainage applications or as a base for heavy loads, as it compacts tightly and may retain moisture.
