Everything you need to know about Silver Sand
Overview
What Is Silver Sand?
Silver sand is a fine, pale sand with a light colour, named for its silvery white appearance. Its fine grains make it useful wherever a clean, even sand is needed. Common uses include:
- Brushing into the joints of block paving and patios
- Top dressing lawns and improving drainage in heavy soil
- Adding to potting and seed mixes
- Sandpits, crafts and decorative work
It's listed in one pack: the Silver Sand 25kg Bag, with a 1 day lead time.
How Much Silver Sand Do I Need?
As general guidance for fine sand (about 1.6 tonnes per m³):
- Lawn top dressing: a 3mm layer uses about 4.8kg per m², so one 25kg bag covers about 5m².
- Paving joints: block paving typically needs around 3kg to 5kg per m², so one bag does about 5m² to 8m².
These are general figures, not measured for this bag.
Silver Sand or Another Sand?
Silver sand is finer than paving sand and much finer than sharp sand, so it isn't a substitute for screeds, concrete or a paving bed. For bedding block paving, use sharp sand; for laying slabs, mortar.
