Plastering Sand Bulk Bag 850kg

112563

Our Plastering Sand Bulk Bag contains high quality, fine grade sand designed to deliver a smooth, consistent finish on plastering and rendering projects. Carefully washed and graded, this plastering sand offers excellent workability, making it easier to achieve clean, even results.

Suitable for internal and external use, plastering sand is commonly used for rendering, skimming, and general plastering work where a finer texture is essential. Supplied in a convenient bulk bag, it provides great value for larger projects and reduces the need for multiple smaller bags.

Unlike coarse sand or sharp sand, which contain larger, angular particles for strength and drainage, this type of sand is much finer. This allows it to mix easily with lime or cement, creating a smooth blend that spreads evenly and finishes cleanly on walls and ceilings.

Because of this, plastering sand is the preferred choice for decorative and finishing applications, where appearance and ease of use matter as much as performance.

Sourced from local quarries, this natural aggregate delivers reliable quality while supporting regional supply chains. As with all natural materials, colour, texture, and moisture content may vary, which can affect the final weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between plastering sand and building sand?

Plastering sand is washed to remove salt, silt, and clay. This results in a finer, smoother texture that helps create an even finish.

Builder sand is coarser and contains more natural material. It is better suited to bricklaying, blockwork, and general construction, where strength and bonding are more important than appearance.

Can I use sharp sand or coarse sand for plastering?

Sharp sand and coarse sand are not recommended for plastering. Their angular particles are designed for strength and drainage, making them ideal for concrete and paving.

However, these sands can leave a rough, uneven surface when used for plastering. For best results, plastering sand should always be used for skimming and rendering work.
