Aggregates are granular materials such as crushed concrete, gravel, sand, and stone used in construction and landscaping. They can be combined with cement, asphalt, or other binding agents or used on their own for structural support and ground preparation.
Common characteristics of aggregates include:
- Strength and durability
- Load-bearing capability
- Good drainage properties
- Versatility across many applications
Aggregates can be sourced from natural quarries or produced by recycling construction and demolition materials such as concrete and brick. Recycled aggregates offer a sustainable alternative while maintaining excellent performance.
