How to use
Use the sand with cement and clean water according to the mix specification for your project. Add water gradually and mix thoroughly until the mortar reaches a workable consistency. Follow your cement manufacturer’s instructions for the correct proportions and curing time. Cement is not included.
Pack sizes and estimated coverage
Each bag contains 20 kg of building sand. The amount of mortar it makes depends on the cement-to-sand ratio and the water added, so a reliable area coverage figure cannot be given for the sand alone.

For bricklaying or pointing: These area figures do not show how many bricks you can lay. Mortar usage depends on the cement-to-sand ratio, brick size, joint dimensions and waste. The sand’s volume and coverage may also vary with moisture and settling.
