Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between washed sand and all-purpose sand? Washed sand is thoroughly cleaned for premium applications. All-purpose sand may contain more fines and is suitable for general construction.

Can I use washed sand for plastering? Yes, washed sand is ideal for plastering, creating smooth, professional finishes.

How much sand do I need for concrete? Standard concrete mix uses 2 parts sand to 1 part cement. Calculate your concrete volume and multiply by 0.33 for sand needed.

Is washed sand better for mortar? Yes, clean washed sand creates stronger mortar with better bonding than unwashed sand.

How is washed sand different from beach sand? Washed construction sand is graded and cleaned. Beach sand contains salt and organic matter that weakens concrete.
