SAND & RED-SAND
Pit Sand
This is gritty sand that is typically reddish-orange in hue. Deep holes sunk 1 to 2 meters below the top soil provide security. Pit sand grains are rough, angular, sharp, and abrasive. It is a traditional choice for concreting since it is free of salts and other contaminants.

River Sand
River bottoms and banks are where you’ll find it. Due to the rubbing action of water currents, fine, spherical, and polished. Because of its roundness, it has a lower frictional strength. The color is almost white. Because grains are smaller than pit sand, they are better for plastering.

Sea Sand
Sea sand grains are exceedingly fine in quality and have a round shape. Sea sand is made up of salt and other marine pollutants that absorb moisture from the air and release it as moisture. As a result, it’s only utilized in tiny portions in concrete structures and industrial processes.

Manufactured Sand
Manufactured sand is an artificially formed sort of sand that is used as an alternative to river sand in the building. It is made by crushing hard granite stones. It is created with the desired fineness, shape, surface smoothness, texture, and consistency, making it the best sand for construction while reducing segregation, bleeding, honeycombing, voids, and capillary.

Fine Sand
Fine sand is the most common sand used in plastering walls because it provides a high-quality finish to each corner of a home internally. Its small granules smooth and strengthen the walls from the inside out. As a result, it retains wall colors for longer periods. On the other hand, fine sand is combined with coarse sand to strengthen the walls and support the weight of large structures.

Coarse Sand
Coarse sand is the most prevalent type of sand used in building construction in India. Large concrete buildings can be easily formed by mixing them with water, aggregate, and even cement. Coarse sand is good for bedding pipelines and sewage systems, as a base material for concrete slabs or pavers, as traction sand for roads and sidewalks, and as a top dressing material for seeding grass when mixed with topsoil and mulch.

Utility Sand
It’s construction-related sand made from high-quality industrial quads. It is a branded construction material due to its superior compaction quality and improved mechanical properties. It can also be utilized in harsh situations because it is resistant to corrosion. The presence of 100 percent natural minerals in its homogeneous grain shape ensures the building’s long-term stability and durability.

Fill Sand
This type of sand is primarily used for filling, as the name implies. It is a mixture of sand grains and aggregates that are used as a principal base material for laying concrete, filling huge gaps, and paving, among other things. Its essential virtue of displaying compassion makes it an unsurpassed building material.
