Kiln dried sand for sweeping into paver joints — bone dry and free flowing, so it works right down into the gaps and locks the paving tight.
How it’s made
Washed sand dried right through the kiln and cut fine enough to flow into a tight joint. Dry is the whole job: bone-dry sand pours to the bottom of the gap instead of clumping halfway. Bagged straight off the line so it stays dry until you sweep it.
Jointing sand is broomed across the paving and worked down into the gaps. Damp sand bridges at the top of the joint and leaves it hollow underneath, and it stains the paver face on the way through. Bone-dry sand pours straight down and fills the joint completely, which is what locks the units against each other.
Interlocking paving relies on full joints. Once sand is in and compacted, the units transfer load sideways into each other instead of each one working alone. Half-filled joints are why paving starts to move a season or two after it was laid.
MRP Sand Quarry is an inland sand quarry — nothing is dredged off a coastline. Inland deposits hold a far wider range of grain sizes than coastal sand, so we screen and cut sizes from ultra fines right up to coarse, and because the sand has never been near seawater there's no salt in it. Tell us the size the job needs and we cut to it.
