What is sharp sand?
Sharp sand, also known as grit sand or concreting sand, is a coarse aggregate with angular grains and a gritty texture commonly used across a wide range of construction and landscaping applications. Unlike soft sand, its coarser particle size and stable, binding properties provide greater durability and construction where strength is required — making it ideal for general purpose building projects, both external and internal. Sharp sand bulk bags weigh approximately 850kg and our 25kg bags offer a handy option for smaller building projects.
What is sharp sand used for?
Sharp sand is used for various applications including laying paving slabs, block paving, patios and driveways, floor screeds, screeding, render, mortar and plaster. It works well as a bedding layer, for drainage, and in concrete mixes when mixed with cement. Sharp sand is also suitable for laying artificial grass, foundation work and securing fence posts.
