Building Sand (loose tip)
**SOLD PER TONNE, LOOSE TIP ONLY**
Building Sand is a soft sand suitable for bricklaying, pointing applications, rendering and general building usage.
Building sand is made from fine grains of quartz rock and can also include particles of gravel, gritstone, granite, limestone, coral, and shells. This is because it often comes from sea and river beds. As a result, the exact mix of materials varies depending on where it comes from.
