Concrete Aggregate (#8 To 3/8″)
Applications & Uses
Concrete Aggregate in #8 to 3/8" Size Range
Concrete aggregate in a #8 to 3/8" size range is a versatile crushed stone product commonly used in both residential and commercial construction. Produced by crushing and screening natural rock, this aggregate features particles that are consistently sized between #8 sieve and 3/8 inch, ensuring uniformity and reliable performance in mixes.
The #8 to 3/8" size is ideal for creating strong, durable concrete mixes, as the smaller aggregate particles fill voids efficiently, resulting in a dense, stable finished product. This size also promotes good workability and finishability, making it suitable for applications such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, and precast concrete products. Additionally, it is often used as a bedding material for pipes and as a base layer for pavers. The main advantage of this size is its ability to compact well and provide a smooth surface, though it may not offer as much drainage as larger aggregates. Overall, this concrete aggregate is a reliable choice for projects requiring strength, stability, and a refined finish.
