Useful Information
-
We supply from many quarries that produce building sand of different colours and each quarry can see changes in the sand colour over time. Additionally, the silt content can vary which changes the workability of the sand in a mortar mix
-
Whenever possible buy your sand in one single load for the project to ensure consistency of colour and we recommend you keep the sand moist when held on site
-
There are two main production methods either dry screened or washed
-
Building sand is also known as mortar sand or soft sand
