PLASTERED with us
We stock the whole range of sand and
stone for all your building needs.
Inclusive of sub base material for
roads through to double washed
plaster sand for finishing and even
playpen sand for the kiddies and big
bunkers.
BUILDING SAND
A naturally occurring sand which can
be used for mortar for laying bricks.
The aggregate comes in various
colours from various areas for various
uses, as an example a yellow building
sand for use in face brick applications.
There is a correct grading for the
quality of sand required and this
meets industry standards.
RIVER SAND
River sand is a granular sand used
mainly in the application of concrete
and screening. Concrete is the base
material used for foundation and
slabs. River sand also finds it
application in decorative plastering
and moulded applications.
CRSUHED STONE
Crushed stone is used in the mixture
of concrete and the sizes vary from a
6mm through to a 26mm in these
applications. Crushed stone in larger
sizes is used for sub base material eg,
G5, G6, G7 and other G materials.
PLASTER SAND
Plaster sand is a much finer aggregate
used in the process of plaster work
applications. Mixing plaster sand with
cement creates a plastering
compound for a plaster skin over
cement or clay stock bricks which
would be painted after.
SUB BASE MATERIALS
Sub base materials make up the load
bearing layer directly beneath the
overlying surface bed, it serves as the
foundation for the overall top
structure. Layers are formed by
spreading the aggregate in thin layers
and the compacting it with heavy
equipment until the aggregate forms
a dense layer of interlocking
aggregate. The aggregate is composed
of sand, gravel, crushed rock, crushed
recycled building rubble and other
natural mineral materials that provide
the necessary strength and durability.
The aggregate must meet specific
gradation requirements.
