Screenings (1/4″, Air Separated)
Applications & Uses
Air Separated Screenings in a 1/4" Size Range
Air separated screenings in a 1/4" size range are finely crushed stone particles produced during the aggregate screening process. The "air separated" attribute means that the material is sorted using air currents rather than water, resulting in a cleaner, drier product with minimal dust and consistent particle size.
The 1/4" size makes these screenings ideal for creating a smooth, compactable base layer. This fine texture is especially beneficial for applications such as paver patios, walkways, and underlayment for flagstone, where a stable, level surface is essential. Air separated screenings are also commonly used for horse arenas, bike paths, and as a filler for joints between paving stones. The main advantage of this product is its excellent compaction and minimal dust, making installation cleaner and more efficient. However, because of its fine size, it may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates.
