Granite Dust 0-5mm Jumbo Bag

Product Overview Grano Dust supplied in a 800kg bulk bag, consisting of finely crushed granite aggregate screened to 0-5mm. Often referred to as granite dust, the name comes from its origin as a by-product of granite crushing, where granum (Latin for grain) reflects its fine grading. When compacted, it forms a smooth, stable base that hardens while still allowing drainage, making it suitable for screeds, paving, driveways, paths, and artificial grass installation. Features & Benefits Hardens when compacted damp: Binds together to form a rock-like base while remaining permeable. Free-draining structure: Prevents pooling and frost heave by allowing water to pass through. Weed suppression: Dense compaction helps inhibit weed growth, reducing maintenance. Improves concrete strength: Enhances compressive strength in screeds, mortars, and fine concretes. Smooth finish support: Provides an even bedding layer that reduces movement and lipping in paving or turf. Moisture management: Can be blended with soil to aid water retention for planting. Cost-effective byproduct: Typically more economical than primary aggregates of similar grading. Bulk bag format: Delivers ample volume for large projects such as driveways, hard standings, and landscaping works. HIAB crane offloading: Delivered via a vehicle equipped with a heavy-duty crane arm to allow for precise kerbside placement. Ensure the delivery site has sufficient access for a large HGV and is clear of overhead obstructions for crane operation. Please Note: Colour and texture vary naturally depending on source. Bulk bag weight may differ by ±5% due to moisture content. Applications Flooring screeds and mortar mixes: Blends with sand and cement to create durable, level screeds with improved strength. Driveways, paving, and paths: Compacts to provide a smooth, stable sub-base beneath slabs, blocks, or concrete. Artificial grass installation: Used with MOT Type 1 to provide a stable, permeable base for synthetic turf. Sports and industrial flooring: Suitable for fine concrete bases in garages, workshops, factories, and sports courts. Hard standings and capping layers: Used to top sub-bases or form durable, flat surfaces for landscaping. Soil improvement: Mixed into soil to improve moisture management and aid growing conditions. Installation Guidance Spread and compact in thin layers: Ensures uniform stability and prevents settlement. Moisten slightly before compacting: Aids binding, allowing the dust to harden into a firm surface. Combine with MOT Type 1 where required:Provides added depth and stability for heavy-duty bases. Compliance & Performance Aggregate grading: Screened to 0-5mm for consistent compaction and bedding performance. Service class: Suitable for external landscaping, sub-bases, screeding, concreting, and fine flooring applications.
