Sharp sand is often referred to as grit sand, concreting sand and coarse sand and can be used for external rendering and screeding. In contrast to building sand, sharp sand contains a greater proportion of larger particles which contributes to its gritty texture. Sharp sand is also a free-draining material due to the low silt and clay content. The use of sharp sand in concrete provides more strength and less flexibility than other types of sand such as, building, plastering and kiln dried sand. Sharp sand binds to the paving slabs while providing a surface which cushions the pavers, accommodates any variation in thickness between different slabs, and ensures that the finished surface is smooth and even.
Sharp sand is ideal for using as part of the base underneath patios, artificial grass, driveways and block paving where a layer of MOT is used and then topped with a layer of sand and compacted for a level and smooth finish. A foundation of 40-50mm compacted sharp sand is required before laying your pavement.

How Do I Use The Calculator?
Select from the drop down menu where the paving will be located: driveway, back garden or solid, level ground. Select solid, level ground if you're replacing existing paving and the sub-base is already in place.
Enter the width and height in metres of the area you wish to pave, this will generate the area you need to pave in square metres. If you already know the area, skip the width and height and type that directly into the area box.
Once you've hit enter, you will then see an estimate of the concrete sand, weed membrane and sub-base you require. Click the buttons below each product to buy:
