Silica Sand

from £78.00

Silica Sand (Price per tonne). Maximum 17 tonnes per load for delivery.

Our high-quality Silica Sand is a fine, washed sand supplied loose (on full loads) or in bulk bags. It is commonly used for equestrian surfaces, sports pitches, and industrial applications due to its consistent grain size and low clay content.

This sand is also suitable for use in paving jointing, rendering, and general construction where a clean, sharp, low-impurity sand is required. Its light colour and fine texture make it a popular choice for both functional and decorative use.

Delivery Area Coverage: We deliver across Maidstone, Medway, Sittingbourne, Isle of Sheppey, West Malling, Gravesend, and Faversham — now also covering all DA, BR, CR, and SE postcodes, including areas such as Dartford, Bexleyheath, Bromley, Croydon, Lewisham, and surrounding parts of South East London and North Kent.

What is Silica Sand?

Silica Sand is a fine, high-purity quartz sand that is washed and screened to remove impurities. Known for its uniform grain size and low clay content, silica sand is widely used in equestrian, industrial, construction, and landscaping applications. Its light colour and clean texture make it both functional and aesthetically appealing.

Applications of Silica Sand:

  • Equestrian Surfaces: Ideal for use in horse arenas and gallops due to its firm yet cushioned feel underfoot.

  • Sports Pitches: Used in synthetic turf and natural sports fields for drainage and surface consistency.

  • Paving and Jointing: Excellent as a jointing sand for block paving and patio slabs.

  • Rendering and Mortar: Suitable for mixing with cement in plastering and rendering where a smooth, fine finish is required.

  • Industrial Use: Common in filtration systems, glass production, and manufacturing processes requiring pure silica content.

Benefits of Silica Sand:

  • High Purity: Low clay and silt content ensures excellent drainage and consistent compaction.

  • Fine, Uniform Texture: Promotes smooth application and stability across all use cases.

  • Versatile: Equally suitable for professional-grade surfaces and DIY landscaping projects.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Clean, light-coloured sand enhances the appearance of paths, gardens, and arena surfaces.

Coverage Guidance:

A bulk bag of silica sand (850kg) typically covers:

  • 10 m² at a depth of 50mm

  • 5 m² at a depth of 100mm

For equestrian or sports use, consult your surface installer for specific depth and layering recommendations.
