River Sand - Premium Construction Sand for Concrete Mixing and Plastering in Kenya
Enhance your construction projects with our premium River Sand, carefully sourced from clean river beds and processed to meet the highest quality standards. Our river sand features optimal grain size distribution with excellent compaction properties, making it ideal for concrete mixing, plastering, and general construction applications. The natural washing process removes impurities, ensuring consistent quality for your building projects.
This high-quality river sand is characterized by its rounded grains and low silt content, providing superior workability and bonding properties. The natural formation process creates particles with excellent interlocking characteristics, contributing to the strength of concrete and mortar mixes. Our river sand is properly sieved and tested to ensure compliance with construction standards for both residential and commercial projects.
Perfect for contractors, builders, and DIY enthusiasts working on foundations, concrete slabs, brickwork, and plastering applications. At BuildMate Kenya, we provide quality construction materials that meet professional standards. Choose our river sand for projects that demand reliability and performance.
