What is 0-4mm Recycled Sharp Sand?
Recycled sharp sand is a graded 0-4mm sand, reclaimed and reprocessed from construction materials, that is ideal for concrete and screeding. This washed, graded recycled sand ensures consistent strength in structural applications while offering a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative to virgin sand. Loose tipped delivery offers bulk supply for construction projects requiring quality sand.
Where to use Recycled Sharp Sand?
Essential for concrete production, floor screeds, laying patios and block paving. Perfect for laying paving and creating sub-bases. Ideal for mixing with cement for various construction applications. Not suitable for bricklaying mortar.
Key Characteristics:
- Particle Shape: Angular grains for superior binding
- Grading: 0-4mm optimized for construction
- Specification: 0/4 Gf85 to BS EN 13242
- Texture: Coarse, gritty feel indicating quality
- Sustainability: Reclaimed and reprocessed - a lower-carbon alternative to virgin sand
Primary Construction Uses:
- Block Paving Base - Creates stable, well-draining foundation under driveways and patios
