This guide is for anyone working with concrete, screeding, or laying paths, blocks, and slabs. Tarmac Sharp Sand provides a consistent base for these projects, ensuring durability and a professional finish. However, proper mixing ratios and handling are essential for optimal results.

The typical mix ratio for screeding is 1 part cement to 4-5 parts sharp sand, with enough water to achieve a workable consistency. Always check the cement manufacturer's instructions.
Store the sharp sand in a dry, covered area away from direct contact with the ground to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
Tarmac Sharp Sand is suitable for most concrete applications. However, for specialized concrete mixes (e.g., high-strength concrete), consult a concrete professional.
Wear gloves, a dust mask, and eye protection to prevent skin irritation, inhalation of dust, and eye injury.
Concrete should typically cure for at least 7 days, but 28 days is recommended for full strength. Keep the concrete moist during the curing process.
Check with the retailer regarding their return policy for building materials.
Coverage varies based on the project and mix ratios; consult online calculators or a building professional for specific estimates.
Add water gradually while mixing until the desired consistency is achieved.
Ensure proper mixing ratios, adequate curing time, and avoid rapid drying.
Use a straight edge to level the surface and ensure consistent depth.
