Sand (Class 3)
Applications & Uses
Sand in a Class 3 Size Range
Class 3 sand is a construction aggregate characterized by its specific particle size distribution, typically coarser than fine sand but finer than gravel. This gradation is achieved through careful screening and processing, ensuring consistency in size and performance.
The Class 3 size range offers a balance between drainage and compaction, making it ideal for a variety of applications. In residential and commercial projects, Class 3 sand is commonly used as a base material for pavers, under concrete slabs, and for general backfilling. Its coarser texture provides stability and support, while still allowing for adequate drainage, reducing the risk of water pooling. However, it may not be suitable for applications requiring a very smooth finish, such as plastering or fine masonry work. Overall, Class 3 sand is a versatile choice for foundational and structural uses where both compaction and drainage are important.
