Aggregates and Building Supplies FAQs
What are the different types of aggregates?
There are many different types of aggregates, including gravel, sharp sand, concrete, stones, hardcore, shingle, tarmac, and more. Sand and aggregates can be classified in various ways according to shape, size, density, and origin.
What are aggregates used for?
Aggregates are generally used for construction and landscaping projects. Their use depends on the grade, size, and quality of the aggregate. Lower quality aggregates of various sizes are used for filling holes, while higher quality and finer grades are better for sub-base construction for roads, paths, and more. Aggregates are also commonly used for drainage construction and form an integral part of any concrete and mortar mix. Builders rely on aggregates for a range of building jobs, from paving garden paths to large-scale construction projects.
Why are aggregates used in concrete?
Aggregates play a vital role in a concrete mix. The quantity and quality of the aggregates determine the consistency, strength, and workability of the mix. Aggregates make up 60%-80% of a typical concrete mix, so choosing the right aggregates for your project is crucial. They are essential for meeting construction needs, whether you are working with concrete, mortar, cement, blocks, or bricks. To find out more, read a previous article about the role aggregates play in concrete.
How should aggregates be stored?
Aggregates should be stored safely in separate piles, with enough space cleared to make unloading aggregates and the surrounding construction work safe for all personnel. You can store aggregates in storage bins, on elevated pallets, or on the ground – but make sure you don’t cross contaminate stockpiles.
