Applications of Granite Sand & Aggregate
Granite sand and crushed granite aggregate can be used in a wide range of applications where their grading, strength and durability meet the relevant specification.
Construction and Concrete
Crushed granite can be processed into graded aggregate for base layers, fill and concrete production. When used in concrete, aggregate grading and cleanliness must be selected according to the mix design and project standard.
Roads and Paving
Granite aggregate is commonly considered for road-base, asphalt and paving applications because of its mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Required particle size and quality depend on the road specification.
Residential and Commercial Construction
Granite aggregate can be used in driveways, walkways, floor-base applications, drainage layers and selected mortar/concrete products. Fine and coarse fractions have different roles and should be selected according to the intended use.
Precast and Landscaping
Granite aggregate may be used in precast concrete products such as blocks, pavers or similar elements, and in decorative landscaping applications.
Other Applications
The Turkish source also mentions filtration, decorative uses and certain consumer/industrial applications. Suitability for any specialised use should be confirmed against the required material specification and health/safety requirements.
