Sand (Washed, Stone Sand)
Applications & Uses
Washed Stone Sand
Washed stone sand is a finely crushed aggregate that has been thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and other impurities. The washing process ensures a cleaner, more consistent product compared to unwashed sand, making it ideal for applications where purity and performance are critical.
This material is commonly used in concrete production, masonry work, and as a setting bed for pavers and bricks. Its clean, fine texture allows for excellent compaction and a smooth finish, which is especially important for creating stable, even surfaces. Washed stone sand is also favored for use in playgrounds, sports fields, and landscaping projects where reduced dust and improved drainage are desired.
The main advantages of washed stone sand include its low dust content, improved workability, and enhanced drainage properties. However, because it is less cohesive than unwashed or coarser sands, it may not be suitable for applications requiring high compaction or structural fill. Overall, washed stone sand is a versatile, high-quality material suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial construction projects.
