HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGGREGATES?

If you’re working on a commercial building construction site, the type of aggregates you need will be very different from a private garden path or driveway project. As aggregate suppliers we are offering a range of materials, sizes and grades, you can find the perfect match for your commercial or domestic building work with us.

TYPES OF AGGREGATE WE SUPPLY

At our company, we take pride in providing a wide variety of materials for our aggregates. From sand to concrete ballast, limestone to gravel, and MOT, we provide a comprehensive range that caters to diverse project needs. With our quality materials, customers can trust that their projects will be built on a solid foundation, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance.

SHARP OR SOFT SAND

When it comes to laying pavement, sharp sand is an excellent choice. Its coarse texture allows for better compaction and stability. This makes it ideal for creating a sturdy foundation that can withstand heavy foot traffic and the weight of vehicles.

On the other hand, soft sand has a finer texture, which allows for better workability and the ability to achieve smooth and even joints between the bricks.

This type of sand is easier to shape and mould, making it ideal for intricate brickwork and achieving precise alignment.

CONCRETE BALLAST

Ballast aggregate is a crucial component in various landscaping projects, offering a multitude of uses and benefits. It is primarily composed of a mixture of sharp sand and stones, which come together to create a durable and stable foundation for numerous applications.

10MM GRAVEL

When it comes to creating beautiful garden paths and driveways, 10mm gravel, commonly known as ‘pea shingle’, is a popular choice for its decorative qualities.

This type of gravel is specifically designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.

At our company, we provide customers with the option to choose between 10mm or 20mm gravel, or even a mixture of both, allowing them to customise their projects according to their preferences.

20MM GRAVEL

20mm gravel is a type of crushed stone that is commonly used for driveways. It is known for its versatile nature and is widely favoured by homeowners and contractors alike due to its affordability and cost-effectiveness.

This particular size of gravel is considered ideal for driveways, as it provides a stable and durable surface.

LIMESTONE

At our company, we take pride in providing our customers with a wide range of options when it comes to limestone aggregate. Specifically, we offer two sizes: 20mm and 30mm.

Limestone aggregate is a type of crushed stone that is extracted from limestone quarries. It is known for its strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for various applications.

MOT TYPE 1

MOT Type 1 is a type of crushed stone that is known for its purity and durability. It is made up of small, angular pieces of stone that have been crushed to specific sizes. This crushed stone is commonly used for a variety of purposes, most notably in driveways, roads, and pathways.

One of the main reasons why MOT Type 1 is popular for these applications is its excellent drainage qualities.
