Typical size: 25kg bags or bulk bags | Type: Sharp / Grit Sand | Colour: Yellow, brown or natural (varies)

General Purpose Grit Sand, also known as sharp sand, is a coarse-grade aggregate widely used in concrete mixing, screeding, and paving applications. Its larger, angular particles provide improved strength and drainage compared to soft building sand.

Typically washed and screened, grit sand contains coarser particles (generally up to 4mm), offering excellent load-bearing properties and reduced shrinkage when used in construction mixes.

It is ideal for use in floor screeds, concrete mixes, block paving sub-bases, and bedding layers, where strength and stability are essential. The angular grain structure helps improve bonding and compaction in structural applications.

Due to its free-draining nature, grit sand is also suitable for landscaping and drainage projects, including paving bases and external groundwork. As a natural material, colour and texture may vary depending on the source.
