Why Choose Holcim Sands?
Levenseat and Garside sands are trusted across the sports and leisure sectors, excelling in play pits, golf bunkers, synthetic pitches, and equestrian arenas thanks to their compacting, free-draining, and non-staining properties.
Their exceptional cleanliness and high silica content make our specialist sands a top choice for filtration systems, including rapid gravity and slow sand filters, as well as domestic and commercial swimming pool filters, where they effectively remove suspended particles with precision.
Beyond these sectors, our versatile sands play a critical role in construction, rail, and utilities projects, often used as backfill for underground power cables. In industrial applications, our silica sands are essential for processes such as sand casting, energy dissipation, and serving as a mould release agent in brick manufacturing, among many other uses.
Whether for sports, filtration, or industry, our specialist sands deliver outstanding performance across a diverse range of applications.
