Aggregates and Their Uses
At Building Shop, we offer an extensive selection of aggregates to provide the flexibility you need for your project. Learn more about each option below.
Sand:
Tailor your application with different sands. Soft sand is excellent for bricklaying and pointing, leaving a smooth finish, while sharp sand is best for rendering and plastering.
Ballast:
A robust mix of sand and stone, ballast is perfect for foundations and roads as it’s heavy enough to provide stability but doesn’t limit drainage.
Stone & Gravel:
This aggregate excels in load-bearing tasks and is rarely affected by the weather or shrinkage. It’s renowned for handling drainage, waterlogging and erosion. MOT Type 1 is great for trench fills, roads and pavements, while shingle makes excellent protective bedding for drainage pipes.
