What Is a Soft Sand Bulk Bag? 

A soft sand bulk bag, often referred to as builder's sand or fine sand, is a large, convenient package of sand commonly used in various construction and masonry applications. Unlike coarse sand, which has larger grains, soft sand features finer particles that contribute to its smooth texture.

Builder's sand is integral to several building processes. It is frequently mixed with cement and water to produce mortar, which is essential for bricklaying and blockwork. The fine texture of soft sand ensures a smooth and consistent finish in the mortar, leading to better adhesion and a uniform result.

In addition to bricklaying, soft sand is also employed for creating a stable base for paving slabs, screeding floors, and filling voids in construction projects. Its ability to create a solid and even surface makes it an invaluable material for achieving high-quality results in both residential and commercial building tasks.

The bulk bag format provides a convenient and efficient way to handle and transport large quantities of sand, making it an essential choice for large-scale construction projects and professional builders.

We deliver high-quality soft building sand to domestic and commercial construction sites all over the UK.

Weight may vary by +/- 5%.
