Description

Elevate the quality of your construction projects with our Washed Construction Sand, specifically designed to offer excellence and versatility in a wide variety of applications. Composed of washed silica sand with a grain size of 0-6 mm, this product is the perfect choice for professionals looking to optimize their constructions.

Specialized uses: Washed Sand is ideal for projects that require a material free of impurities, such as clays and salts. This makes it perfect for the preparation of high-quality concrete, where the cleanliness of the sand directly influences the durability and resistance of the structure. Additionally, it is commonly used in the creation of drain filters, pavement bases and surface finishes that require superior compaction and leveling.

Versatile formats: We understand the needs of each project, which is why we offer our Construction Washed Sand in various formats. Available in 20 kg bags for small needs or repairs, 1,000 kg big bags for large constructions, and pallets of 50 bags of 20 kg each, ensuring adequate and efficient supply for large-scale projects.

Guaranteed quality and purity: At Vetonek, we ensure that each grain of our Washed Sand meets the highest quality standards. Processed to eliminate impurities, our sand offers superior performance, guaranteeing the best results in your works.

When to use Fine Sand or Coarse Sand?

When choosing between fine sand and coarse sand, consider the nature of your project. Fine sand is ideal for jobs that require precise finishes and homogeneous mixtures, such as masonry mortars or surface finishes in construction. On the other hand, coarse sand (like our Washed Sand) is perfect for projects that demand high resistance and durability, such as paving bases or the preparation of robust concrete.

Direct Quality of the Quarry

All our sands are in-house manufacture, coming directly from our gravel pits. This guarantees a product of high quality and purity, allowing you to buy directly from the gravel pit without intermediaries. Choose Vetonek to ensure excellence and efficiency in your next construction project.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the floor?

For boulders and gravel:
• ±80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer. *For grain sizes >32mm a thicker layer is necessary. • Consumption per bag: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ±12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

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

For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• ±50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per bag: 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 per 1m³.

The calculation is very easy to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gabion. you have to do the following accounts:
1x0.5x0.3= 0.15m³
0.15x1.650= 247.50kg. of stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since when the gabions are filled they widen a little and there is always a little more stone included than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sieve sizes

The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when we talk about a 60-80mm stone, for example, it means that the stones pass through a 80x80mm square mesh. and they do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
A 100mm stone can pass through that 80x80 mesh. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

stone breaking

On the other hand, in stones larger than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during classification, washing, loading and unloading. Today we do not have machinery that prevents these breakages.

In the photos you can see, you only see real products, no broken parts 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 transportation. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
