Sand Options for Your Construction Needs

J&J Franks offers a wide range of sand options to cater to various construction needs, each with its unique benefits:

Mortar

Our building sand plays a crucial role in the production of mortar—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, from residential homes to commercial buildings.

Bricks – Clay Based

Building sand possesses unique properties that make it an excellent choice for the production of clay-based bricks. When added to the brick-making process, it acts as a filler, preventing shrinkage and helping maintain the shape and dimension of bricks when processed through the kiln. It can also be used to produce specific colours when used to coat the brick moulds, adding a touch of customization to your projects.

Asphalt

The sand quarried at Nutfield is used as a major constituent in the material used to build many of the roads in the South East and London, as it is the main ingredient in the production of asphalt. This ensures the durability and quality of the roads we drive on daily.

Leisure Industry

In the future, we aim to wash the Nutfield sand with the aim of producing a specialist sand for use in the leisure sector. When the sand undergoes a washing process, it opens up opportunities for various applications, including golf courses for bunkers, equestrian centres for sand schools and gallops, and more.
