Description

Silica sand in the ideal size for the lawn, gives you a greater sensation of natural grass when you step on it, prevents crushing of the hair and holds it more upright and keeps the grass much cooler, especially in summer, much more so if it is watered a little by the mornings, since the silica sand will release moisture little by little and this will prevent the grass from heating up.

 

How to place silica sand

1. You should spread the silica sand after installing the grass. 

2. You can transport the sand in a wheelbarrow and spread it with the help of a shovel or with your own hands, whichever is more comfortable for you.

3. You have to spread between 3 and 4 kg per m² over the entire surface so that the grass adheres well.

4. With a hard-bristled brush or an electric one, comb the entire grass in the opposite direction to the fibers so that the sand goes down to the surface. background.

5. Finally, water the grass with a little water and let it settle.

 

Silica sand size for lawns and sandboxes

The perfect measurement to spread on grass, both natural and artificial, is 0.3-0.6 mm, it is also the same for filling a sandbox. We send it to your home in 25 kg bags. or large big bags of 1,000 kg.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
