FINE SAND

• Fine sand consists of grains finer than other
  building aggregates.
• Easier to mix for mortar due to its smaller grain
  size.
• Suitable for projects requiring precise mortar
  consistency and smooth finish.

7
BUILDING SAND

• Finer and softer compared to other sands.
• Ideal for making mortar due to its adhesive
