Screenings (Dust)
Applications & Uses
Screenings with Dust
Screenings with dust are a fine byproduct of the crushing process, consisting of small stone fragments mixed with stone dust. This material is typically produced during the manufacture of larger aggregates, resulting in a blend of fine particles that compact tightly.
The presence of dust in screenings enhances their ability to bind and compact, making them ideal for creating a stable, level base. This attribute is especially valuable for applications such as under pavers, patios, walkways, and as a setting bed for flagstone. The fine texture allows for smooth finishes and helps prevent shifting or settling over time. However, the high dust content can lead to tracking and may generate dust when dry, which is a consideration for certain projects. Overall, screenings with dust are a versatile, cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial hardscape installations where a solid, compacted base is essential.
