Our washed building sand is carefully cleaned to remove dust, clay, silt, small stones, and other impurities. This improves purity and creates a finer, more consistent texture which is perfect for producing quality mortar that enhances your brickwork finish.

Not usually. Washed building sand is too fine to form a strong concrete mix. For concrete applications, sharp sand or ballast is recommended for better strength.
No, the washing process removes most impurities, including salts and organic materials. This makes it a cleaner, more reliable choice for use in mortar.
