What Is Grano Dust?
Grano Dust, commonly referred to as granite dust, is a finely crushed aggregate material widely used in construction and landscaping projects.
Composed of crushed limestone, granite, or recycled aggregates, Grano Dust serves as a strong and stable foundation for a myriad of applications from benching manholes to creating robust flooring screeds.
Typically supplied in a size of 0-6mm, this versatile aggregate strikes the perfect balance between compaction and drainage, offering a firm foundation without sacrificing necessary permeability.
Being a granite byproduct, grano dust inherits the robust and durable properties of granite. When compacted, grano dust forms a stable base that reduces the risk of movement or settling, crucial for paving and construction projects.Despite its firmness, grano dust allows water to drain through, reducing the risk of water pooling and associated issues such as frost heave.
Where Is Grano Dust Used?
- Flooring Screeds: When mixed with sand and cement, Grano Dust produces a fine mortar that is ideal for floor screeds, ensuring a level and stable surface for various indoor and outdoor flooring projects.
- Sublayer for Concrete: Grano Dust can be effectively used as a sublayer before laying concrete, providing support and stability for the top layers of construction projects.
- Hard Standing Area: This versatile aggregate serves as an excellent material for creating hard standing areas, offering a flat and durable surface for commercial and residential use.
- Bedding Aggregate: Grano Dust serves as an excellent bedding aggregate, providing a solid and level surface for various construction projects, including artificial grass installation.
- Capping Sub-bases: It is well-suited for capping sub-bases, ensuring a stable and durable foundation for outdoor structures and pathways.
- Concrete and Mortar Mixes: Grano Dust can be used in concrete and mortar mixes, enhancing their strength and stability in construction projects.
- Artificial Grass Installation: Our customers primarily use granite dust along with a layer MOT Type 1 during artificial grass installation, creating a strong and supportive base for synthetic turf.
Grano Dust Benefits
- Weed Inhibition: Helps prevent the growth of weeds, reducing maintenance efforts.
- Enhanced Drainage: Allows water to drain efficiently, preventing pooling and erosion.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Provides a robust, durable surface suitable for heavy use.
- Low Maintenance: Requires little maintenance, saving time and effort.
- Moisture Management: Helps retain moisture when mixed with soil, beneficial for plant health.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from pathways to mortar mixes.
- Excellent Sub-Base: Provides a stable and solid sub-base for paving and other surfaces.
- Ease of Installation: Simple to spread and compact, making installation straightforward.
Does Grano Dust Harden?
Yes, grano dust does harden. In construction and building applications, grano dust is valued for its ability to bind together when slightly damp. Upon drying, this material hardens significantly to a rock-like consistency.
Yet, even when hardened, it still permits water to seep through. This characteristic has made grano dust a popular choice for constructing the base layers for artificial grass installations.
