Application

To get the best results from your Mortar Sand, follow these professional construction tips:

Mortar Mixing: For standard brickwork, we recommend a ratio of 3 to 4 parts No. 1 Sand to 1 part Cement. Add hydrated lime if extra plasticity is required for vertical joints.
Paving Base: Use as a final 20-30mm leveling layer over compacted metal for pavers. Its fine grade allows for precision adjustments to prevent “rocking” stones.
Stonework: The clean, washed nature of this sand prevents staining on porous natural stones, making it the preferred choice for high-end landscape features.
Maintenance: Store in a dry area or keep covered to maintain the consistent moisture content required for accurate batch mixing.
