What are Aggregates?

Aggregates are essential components in construction, comprising a collection of materials that are clustered together. These can include separate units like soil particles, sand, gravel, and crushed stone. In the context of construction, aggregates are crucial for forming concrete, mortar, and plaster, providing the necessary strength and stability for various structures. 

Cement: The Core of Every Construction

Cement serves as the essential binding material for concrete, mortar, and other construction applications. Aggregates play a crucial role in this process as they help form concrete, providing the necessary strength and stability. Our collection includes standard Portland cement, rapid-setting varieties, and specialized options like fire cement. Use these products for tasks ranging from constructing durable foundations to creating smooth, weather-resistant surfaces. When selecting cement, consider the specific requirements of your project, such as setting time, strength, and exposure to environmental factors.

Key Uses:

• General Construction: Building walls, foundations, and structural elements.
• Repair Work: Fixing cracks or refurbishing damaged concrete.
• Special Applications: Fire cement for high-temperature areas or specific installations.

Sand: The Perfect Foundation

Sand is a fundamental aggregate for many construction and landscaping tasks. Our range includes mortar sand, plastering sand, and paving sand, each designed for specific applications. Mortar sand is ideal for creating strong mortar joints, while plastering sand ensures a smooth finish for walls. Paving sand is excellent for laying slabs or creating stable, well-drained surfaces.

Key Uses:

• Mortar Preparation: For bricklaying or blockwork.
• Plastering: Achieving smooth, even wall finishes.
• Paving and Landscaping: Filling joints and leveling surfaces.

Gravel: Strength and Aesthetic Appeal

Gravel is versatile, used for both structural purposes and decorative landscaping. Our selection includes various sizes suitable for creating drainage systems, forming sturdy sub-bases, or enhancing garden aesthetics. Gravel is an excellent choice for driveways, pathways, and as a component in concrete mixes.

Key Uses:

• Sub-base Material: Supporting foundations for paths or roads.
• Drainage: Preventing water pooling in gardens or construction sites.
• Decorative Landscaping: Adding texture and style to outdoor spaces.

Hardcore: Reliable Load-Bearing Solutions

Hardcore provides the strength and stability needed for solid bases in construction. Our offerings include high-quality Clause 804 hardcore, ideal for creating sub-bases for roads, driveways, and large construction projects. It is a cost-effective and durable solution to ensure the longevity of your structures.

Key Uses:

• Sub-base for Construction: Roads, driveways, and building foundations.
• Ground Stabilization: Reinforcing areas subject to heavy loads.

Levelling Compounds: Achieve Perfect Surfaces

Levelling compounds are essential for preparing floors before tiling or laying other finishes. These products ensure a smooth, even surface and are ideal for both small-scale and large-scale projects. Choose from self-leveling compounds for quick, hassle-free application.

Key Uses:

• Floor Preparation: Ensuring level surfaces for tiling or other floor coverings.
• Repair: Smoothing uneven or damaged floors.

Choosing the Right Product

Selecting the appropriate material depends on the scope and specifics of your project:

• For structural projects: Opt for Portland cement, gravel, and hardcore to ensure durability and load-bearing capacity.
• For finishing and detailing: Use plastering sand, paving sand, or levelling compounds to achieve smooth, professional results.
• For repairs or specialty applications: Consider rapid-setting cement or fire cement for quick and effective solutions.
