Sand Options for Your Construction Needs

At J&J Franks, we offer a variety of sand options to cater to diverse construction needs, each with its unique benefits:

Mortar

Our building sand plays a pivotal role in mortar production, a versatile paste used to bond building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units. It ensures the structural integrity of your construction projects, whether residential or commercial.

Bricks – Clay Based

Building sand possesses unique properties that make it an excellent choice for the production of clay-based bricks. When integrated into the brick-making process, it acts as a filler, preventing shrinkage and maintaining the shape and dimensions of bricks during kiln processing. Additionally, it can be used to create specific colours when coating brick moulds, adding a touch of customization to your projects.

Asphalt

The sand quarried at Nutfield Quarry is a crucial ingredient in constructing roads across the South East and London. It serves as the main component in asphalt production, ensuring the durability and quality of the roads we rely on daily.

Leisure Industry

In our commitment to innovation, we are exploring the development of specialised sand for the leisure industry. By subjecting Nutfield sand to a washing process, we can unlock a wide range of possibilities. This treated sand can be used in various applications, including golf course bunkers, equestrian centres for sand schools and gallops, and more.
