What is Ballast?
Ballast is a mixed aggregate consisting of sharp sand and gravel, commonly used in construction for concrete mixing. It’s a vital material for creating strong and durable concrete foundations, as well as for other structural applications in both residential and commercial projects.

Applications of Ballast:

  • Concrete Mixing: Essential for creating high-strength concrete for foundations, driveways, and structural elements.

  • Paving and Foundations: Used as a base layer for paving, block paving, and foundation work.

  • Landscaping: Ideal for general filling, levelling, and creating solid, stable bases for garden features.

  • Bricklaying and Mortar: Mixed with cement for mortar used in bricklaying and stonework.

Benefits of Ballast:

  • Strong Concrete: Provides excellent strength and durability when mixed with cement, ideal for all structural projects.

  • Versatile: Suitable for a variety of construction and landscaping applications, from foundations to paving.

  • Cost-Effective: A budget-friendly material for creating high-quality concrete without compromising on strength.

  • Easy to Use: Pre-mixed sharp sand and gravel for convenience, making it easy to incorporate into your projects.
