Graded Silica Sand — Washed and Dried Production Aggregate
Allzone Trading supplies washed, dried and graded silica sand to GFRC fabricators, cast stone producers, terrazzo manufacturers, flooring formulators and dry mortar plants across Canada. In cast products, the sand is not filler — its gradation, cleanliness and moisture drive water demand, surface finish and dimensional stability. Grading, silica content, moisture and packaging are confirmed against supplier technical data at quotation.

Technical & procurement detail
Gradation controls the mix, not the sand price+
A narrow, consistent grading gives predictable water demand and a repeatable surface; a variable one produces bleeding, pinholes and colour drift from batch to batch. Producers who chase the lowest cost sand generally discover the difference in their reject rate rather than in their mix design.
Dry sand is a different product from pit sand+
Dry mortar, resin flooring and packaged product manufacturing require kiln-dried sand because moisture would trigger premature hydration or spoil resin wetting. Wet-cast producers can use damp sand but must correct mix water for the actual moisture content each batch.
Cleanliness and colour+
Clay, iron staining and organic content darken white and pigmented mixes and interfere with cement hydration. For architectural work, washed sand from a colour-stable source is treated as part of the colour specification, not as a generic commodity.
Specification options+
Working properties are configurable options within this canonical product, not separate products. Depending on the family, that can include grade, viscosity, mix ratio, pot life and demould time, hardness, colour, particle size or fibre length, and pack format. No configuration is presented as stocked or approved until it is confirmed against the supplier's technical data for the exact material offered. Supplier grade names, factory codes and manufacturer brands are not published here.
What to include in your enquiry+
Tell us the application, target grading or mesh range, whether dried material is required, monthly tonnage and delivery location.
Frequently asked questions
Which grading is required?+
Grading is selected against the product, application method and finish, and is confirmed against the supplier's sieve analysis for the material offered.
Is dried sand available in bulk bags?+
Packaging is reviewed per enquiry, from bags through bulk bags to bulk delivery where the plant can receive it.
Are technical documents provided before ordering?+
Yes. The supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact grade offered are provided with the quotation, and the working properties in those documents govern — not any general description on this page.
What quantities are quoted?+
Quantities are reviewed per enquiry, from trial quantities through to pallet and full container programmes for production users and distributors.
