CRUSHED STONE-This can be used as an auxiliary sand option when river sand is unavailable.
Read MoreFeb 10, 2021 Difference Between M sand and River sand. Concrete with m sand has very poor permeability as compared to river sand. But when river sand is used in concrete the permeability of concrete is less poor as compared to river sand. It has more water absorption 2 to 4 %. Whereas water absorption of river sand is less 1.5 to 3%. Drawbacks of M Sand
Read MoreGlacier stone is similar to crushed stone, it is screened to specific sizes and there should be no dirt or sand mixed in with it at all. The difference between these two stones is simply the way they look. The glacier stone (sometimes called river rock) is rounded and smooth, sometimes used for walkways or cosmetically around houses or gardens.
