Simply input your details into the gravel calculator to get started. |
Our shingle estimator is easy to use - just follow the steps below:
Aggregates are subject to something known as the bulking factor, which is a measure of how much the volume of the sand increases due to air gaps between the particles. In other words, it's a way to correct for the fact that the sand doesn't take up as much space as you might think. For example, if you fill up a bucket that can hold 10 litres of sand, when you pour the sand out, there may only be 8 litres of sand because of the spaces between the particles. This means that the bulking factor for your sand is 1.25 because 10 / 8 = 1.25.
When calculating what you need for your project, our mot type 1 sub base calculator takes the bulking factor into account. It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that our aggregate calculator only gives an estimate and the exact number can depend on factors such as compaction, moisture and weather.
Once you’ve used our sharp sand calculator to find out how much you need, it’s easy to make an order. With high quality, competitive prices and quick delivery, you can get started on your project straight away.
