Product Overview

Soft building sand supplied in a 25kg bag, consisting of fine-textured natural aggregate with clay content. 

This manageable bag size is ideal for patch repairs, smaller mortar mixes, or topping up bulk supply.

Features & Benefits

  • Fine soft-grained sand: Produces smooth, workable mortar mixes for bricklaying and rendering.
  • Contains natural clay particles: Enhances mortar cohesion and bond strength.
  • Warm natural colour (varies by source): Provides a neat, uniform finish in mortar joints.
  • Mixes easily with cement and water: Creates consistent mortars for pointing, brickwork, or repairs.
  • Versatile use: Suitable for rendering, bricklaying, pointing, and general construction tasks.
  • Convenient bag size (25kg): Easy to carry, store, and tip manually without machinery.
  • Low waste option: Order only the amount needed, reducing surplus on smaller projects.


Please Note: Colour may vary naturally depending on source. Bag weight may differ by ±5% due to moisture content. Not intended as a decorative sand.

Applications

  • Bricklaying mortar: Suitable for small garden walls, features, or repair work.
  • Pointing: Provides smooth, workable mortar for patching joints and touch-up work.
  • Internal rendering: Useful for small areas or repair coats without requiring bulk supply.
  • Topping up bulk bags: Complements larger orders where only a little extra sand is needed.

Installation Guidance

  • Mix with cement and water: Produces consistent, workable mortars for bricklaying and rendering.
  • Handle manually: 25kg bags can be carried and tipped without lifting equipment.
  • Prepare small batches: Mix only what is needed to avoid waste and ensure mortar is used within its workable timeframe.

Compliance & Performance

  • Aggregate grading: Fine sand with natural clay content, screened for consistency in mortars and renders.
