Fine plaster sand for smooth wall plaster and screeds, delivered to site by tipper. Covering Cape Town and nearby City Bowl, Woodstock, Observatory, Green Point.
Ordering in Cape Town
Sites in and around the city centre are often tight, with limited parking and steep streets, so smaller trucks and booked delivery times matter.
Plaster sand is sold by the cubic metre (m³) and tipped loose on site. Ask for it to be kept separate from building sand, since mixing the two spoils the plaster finish.
About plaster sand
Plaster sand is a fine, soft sand with few stones or clay lumps. Mixed with cement (and often lime) it gives a smooth, workable plaster that doesn't crack as it dries.
