Building sand, as it is commonly known, is a BS1200 which is a 0-2mm fine sand. Your plasterer may require you to order building sand from their preferred source or a specific quarry. We will work with you to ensure that we get the right sand, just give us a call to discuss the specifications.

Your order of sand and aggregates will be delivered in one of three ways. We can offer deliveries in bulk bag at approximately 800kg to 1000kg, poly bags at approximately 25kg or loose loads by the tonne. If you only require a loose delivery of a small quantity, we offer smaller 1.2 tonne loose delivery. Some of our products are unable to be delivered in poly bags due to their size but give us a call to work out which delivery method will suit you. Remember that you can mix and match bags and blocks on the same load.

Secondary aggregates can be defined as aggregates produced as a by-product of other mining or quarrying activities such as china clay waste (the source of Maen Karne’s secondary aggregates). Processing includes crushing and screening, as with primary aggregates, but also the removal of metal, plastic or wood waste. In some locations top soil is produced as a by-product of this process. Importantly the green credentials offered by secondary aggregates make them attractive to architects and developers.
