WHY SAND QUALITY MATTERS IN CONSTRUCTION

Introduction: The Role of Sand in Building Strong Structures

Sand is the primary material used for building construction. Without sand, the structural completion of the building is impossible. It is the responsibility of every builder to evaluate and determine the quality of sand used in construction because the quality of sand directly affects the sustainability, durability, and integrity of the structure.

Sand used in construction contains naturally occurring particles that can integrate well with concrete, therefore creating a strong structure, smooth finish, and long-lasting building. It is the builder’s responsibility to only use sand with the best quality for construction. The durability, weather resistance, and overall integrity of any structure are directly reliant on the sand used.

Metsand provides all types of sand with the highest quality possible to help address each construction need.

Understanding the Types of Construction Sand

Not all sands suit construction. It is important for you to know the differences between natural sand, river sand, and manufactured sand (M sand). Natural sand contains a lot of impurities and variable particle sizes, which are detrimental to concrete mixes. M sand provides specifications, better bonding, and at least while less is wasted. You limit your chances of cracks, surface erosion, and structural failure when you use quality sand.

Benefits of Using High-Quality Sand

Quality sand improves the workability of mortar and concrete. It gives better compaction and decreased unnecessary water, which contributes to the strength of the finished structure. Good sand also allows for easier plastering, leveling and strength over time. Poor quality sand has silt, clay or organic matter mixed in that will compromise the strength of your structure.

Simple Checks for Ensuring Sand Quality

Whether you are a contractor or a homeowner, you need to check the quality of the sand prior to using it. Basic testing, such as the silt content test or verifying salt and clay content, can be very effective. You do not need to be an expert to specify quality. Choose a reputable supplier who does the hard work for you.
