Screenings (Type 2, Dust)
Applications & Uses
Screenings with Dust, Type 2 Size
Screenings with dust in a Type 2 size range are a finely crushed stone byproduct, typically produced during the process of crushing larger aggregate materials. The "dust" attribute means this material contains a high percentage of fine particles, resulting in a powdery texture that fills gaps and compacts tightly.
The fine, dusty composition of Type 2 screenings makes them ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required. They are commonly used as a base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways, providing excellent compaction and minimizing shifting. In both residential and commercial projects, screenings with dust are also used for leveling, as a bedding material, or to fill joints between stones. While the high dust content ensures a firm, locked-in finish, it can also make the material less suitable for drainage applications and may generate dust during installation. Overall, this product is valued for its stability and ease of compaction, making it a practical choice for hardscape foundations.
