Play and sports sand
Sands which are supplied for play pits have undergone stringent testing to ensure they comply with the European Standards for Toy Regulations, guaranteeing the absence of lead and other harmful metals. These inert sands are suited to all aspects of children's play, their non-staining characteristic making them ideal for all occasions where contact is made with either clothing or skin. The free draining nature of these sands enables play pits to be used with the minimum of delay following wet weather.
Long jump, high jump and triple jump landing pits also demand the same high purity sands. Good drainage and non-staining are both important factors to be considered in the selection of suitable materials. Hanson products can meet these requirements from its various production sources.
Sands are also available for both the supporting layers and infilling of the carpet of synthetic sports surfaces. The demand for uniformly graded sands to support the fibres of the carpet can be met, offering the desired levels of energy dispersement and ball bounce.
Dry sand can be supplied both loose and in bags. The high quality of these specialist sands ensure that the installation contractor will be dealing with free flowing, free draining materials to complete the job with confidence and provide a successful playing surface.
