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.
Weight may vary by +/- 5%.
Applications
Soft building sand is an essential building aggregate on a lot of sites and is one of the vital ingredients in mortar used to glue bricks together.
We recommend this product for those who need to create a large amount of mortar in a short time frame for joining, pointing and plastering projects. In this case, heavy-duty mixing machinery and equipment is required.
Soft building sand is suitable for a range of building applications including:
- General building and landscaping projects
- Pointing applications
- Bricklaying and brickwork
- Under slabs
- Rendering

- Comprised of fine sand and clay particles
- Locally sourced from seabeds in quarries
- Commonly mixed with water and cement to create concrete and bricklaying mortar
- Easy to install - builders can simply cut the bags down the middle and spread the sand into place
- Weight may vary depending on moisture content
Benefits
- Fine sand guarantees smooth surfaces
- Easy to work with
- Contains natural, raw materials that are sourced from seabeds
- Bricklaying mortar can easily be made if you mix building sand, cement and water
Bulk Bag Benefits
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.
Weight
Our customers can expect high-quality raw materials with each building sand bulk bag. It should be noted that because of its natural sourcing, the sand retains moisture, which means that it might weigh 5% more or less than expected; a single bag contains approximately 800kg.
