Brickies Sand 20Kg Bag

$0.00

Yellow Brickie Sand is a type of sand that is often described as ‘fatty’ and is primarily used for brick and block construction. The term ‘fatty’ indicates that this sand has a high clay content, which helps it repel water, like how fat behaves. This property makes the sand stickier and easier to work with when combined with cement.

Typically, the recommended mix ratio for Yellow Brickie Sand to mortar is six parts sand to one part cement.

APPLICATIONS:

Blending mortar for brick laying.
Under paving.
General filling.

Unsure on volume?

If you are not sure how much soil you will need for the job, using big strides, pace out the length and the width of the area in question. When you have this, multiply the length (in metres), by the width (again in metres), by the required depth (in millimetres). This is not the exact measurement, but it will give you a guide to the quantity you will require. NB one big stride is approx. one metre.

When using products that you plan to compact down like gravel fines for pathways or yellow sand for a base under paving, an adjustment needs to be made to the quantity ordered. As a general rule only, 20% extra needs to be ordered to factor in the compaction of the product.
