Homes247: All About Sand in Construction

Sand, the seemingly simple stuff at the beach, plays a major role in the construction world! At Homes247, we use only the best materials to build your dream home, and understanding the different types of sand is crucial.

Here's a quick guide to the sand used in construction:

• River Sand: The classic choice, dredged from rivers and known for its smooth, rounded grains. Great for concrete and plastering, but its environmental impact can be a concern.

• Manufactured Sand (M-Sand): A more eco-friendly alternative, crushed rocks create M-Sand with consistent size and shape. Perfect for high-quality concrete and mortar.

• Pit Sand: Coarse and angular, pit sand is dug from below the surface. Its excellent drainage makes it ideal for backfilling and leveling.

• Utility Sand: Similar to pit sand, utility sand provides a strong base for walkways, patios, and other landscaping projects.

Choosing the right sand depends on the specific application. Our experienced professionals at Homes247 will ensure the perfect type of sand is used for every stage of your construction project, resulting in a strong, durable, and beautiful home.
