Black sand is a fine, dark-colored material produced from the crushing of mountain stones within the UAE. Known for its strength and versatility, it is widely used in various construction applications. It plays a key role in manufacturing cement blocks, dry mortar mixes with OPC black cement, and as a general filling material. Additionally, black sand is commonly used beneath paving stones, between cement slabs, for artificial grass installations, and in plaster or mortar mixes. At Al Rawasi, we source premium-grade black sand from top quarries in Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, ensuring superior quality and consistency. 

Also referred to as dune sand, red sand is naturally found in regions such as Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah. It is widely used in construction, particularly for backfilling trenches around underground utilities due to its lightweight nature, which reduces strain on pipes and cables. Red sand is also an essential material for interlock paving, cement block manufacturing, and landscaping projects. Thanks to its low salt content and nutrient-rich composition, it is an excellent choice for gardening and soil improvement. 

Commonly used for playgrounds or sand pits, full washed white sand is a washed silica sand also referred to in landscaping as ‘Soft Fall’ Sand. This sand is essentially the same as beach sand. It is also used for sweeping in between new pavers once they have been laid, to help stabilize them and “lock” them in or for plaster mix with cement.

Road base is a mixture of crushed stone and fine aggregates designed to form a solid foundation layer for roads, pathways, and other load-bearing surfaces. When compacted, it provides exceptional strength and stability. The sub base is applied beneath the base course to enhance durability and prevent shifting under vehicular traffic. Our premium road base and sub base materials are available in large volumes across the UAE, with additional services such as leveling, watering, and compaction to ensure optimal application and performance.​ n goes here

Aggregates are essential in construction, serving as the backbone of concrete, asphalt, and other structural applications. We supply a variety of crushed aggregates in different sizes to suit various project requirements, including:​ 

3/4: Commonly used in road construction, landfilling, and landscaping.​ 

3/8: Frequently mixed with other aggregate sizes to achieve balanced grading.​ 

3/16: Also known as "interlock sand," used as a bedding layer beneath interlocking pavers.
