Applications & Uses
Screenings Chips in #6 to 5/16" Size Range
Screenings chips in a #6 to 5/16" size range are finely crushed stone particles produced during the screening process of larger aggregates. This material consists of small, angular chips that are typically the byproduct of crushing and sizing operations, resulting in a consistent, compactable aggregate.
The #6 to 5/16" size range offers a balance between fine and coarse particles, making these chips ideal for applications where a stable, smooth surface is required. Their small, angular shape allows for excellent compaction and interlock, reducing voids and providing a solid base. Common uses include underlayment for pavers, walkways, patios, and as a leveling layer for flagstone installations. In commercial settings, screenings chips are often used for pathways, sports courts, and as a bedding material for pipes. The main advantage of this size and attribute is its ability to create a firm, even surface with minimal shifting, though it may not be suitable for areas requiring high drainage.
