Building Sands

Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. There are a large number of sands available with each type of sand having particular qualities making them suitable for a particular task. The sands used for the building trade are not suitable for play or sport areas. For this you will require a silica sand, such as our Play and Sport Sand.
Our range of other sands are ideal for a variety of jobs such as mixing cement, laying blocks or even laying pipes on... check out the list and find the one to suit your particular requirements.
