This fine, terracotta sand contains sub rounded spherical grains making it very workable. The strong colour gives mortars a rich warmth, however, this is the result of a high proportion of fines. Traditional lime mortars will require more water to become workable and care must be taken to avoid shrinkage problems.
Sand is supplied with a natural moisture content.

Sands are offered with no recommendation as to suitability for purpose. Please utilise our 20kg pack delivery service for sampling prior to bulk ordering. Being natural products mortar sands are susceptable to variation in colour and form.

Specify: Fine red silica mortar sand from Specialist Aggregates.
