Brick Sand
The bricklayer’s sand, fine, fatty and workable, in five colours to match any mortar spec.
About this product
Brick sand is a fine sand with a controlled clay content that makes mortar “fatty”, it spreads smoothly, holds on the trowel and bonds brick to brick. Colour matters as much as workability: the sand drives the final mortar tone against the brick.
We supply beige, brown, orange, white and yellow brick sands so the mortar matches the architect’s intent, in bulk, scheduled with the rest of the build’s materials.

How much do you need?
Sand is supplied by the tonne. As a guide it weighs around 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre, so multiply your area by the depth for the volume, then by the density. Tell us the job on the quote form and we will work out the tonnes and price the delivery.
50 m² × 0.05 m deep = 2.5 m³ × ~1.5 t/m³
