About this product

Soft building sand, generally used for laying bricks and blocks.

Bag Size: 25kg

Main Uses

Bricklaying: Building sand is perfect for bricklaying due to its softness and consistency. When mixed with cement and water, it creates a flexible mortar that is easy to apply, ensuring a smooth and durable finish for your brickwork.

Building & Construction: In construction, building sand is frequently used to add bulk, strength, and weight when mixed with materials like asphalt and cement. It's also ideal for making fine-grade plaster, pointing, and even precast concrete products like blocks and pavers.

Landscaping: While not recommended for slab or block laying due to its softness (which can cause paving to sink), building sand is useful in the finishing stages of slab laying. It’s often brushed between pavers to lock and stabilize them, preventing shifting. However, it's best to use building sand in dry weather, as damp sand can be difficult to work with.

Gardening: Building sand can be mixed with soil to improve its structure. This helps enhance water and air movement, benefiting plant growth by improving drainage and aeration.
