Is it possible to purchase sand without the bag?

Yes. Tipped loose load delivery is available at selected branches. Please contact your nearest branch to check availability and discuss your requirements.

What’s the difference between sharp sand vs building sand?

Building sand has finer grains, allowing it to produce smoother, more workable mortar, which is why it’s preferred for bricklaying and construction work.
