Sharp sand, also known as grit sand or coarse sand, is a rough-textured aggregate composed of angular, free-draining particles. Unlike softer building sands, it contains minimal fine materials and no clay, giving it a distinct, gritty consistency.
Thanks to its coarse composition, sharp sand allows water to pass through swiftly, making it ideal wherever efficient drainage is essential — such as beneath paving slabs, patios, and artificial grass. Its angular grains also promote tight interlocking when compacted, forming a solid, load-bearing surface that resists movement over time.
This combination of high permeability and structural stability makes sharp sand an excellent choice for various groundwork tasks, including sub-base preparation and screeding. Supplied in robust 800kg bulk bags, it offers a convenient and cost-effective option for larger projects, simplifying both transportation and storage.
