Here's a table that covers the essential details for Kiln Dried Sand coverage based on common factors like area, depth, and sand bag weight:

Factor	Details
Bag Size	Typically, 25 kg (55 lb) per bag.
Coverage Area (per bag)	On average, 1 bag covers approximately 3-4 square meters (32-43 square feet) at a standard depth of 1-2 mm for jointing between paving slabs or blocks.
Depth of Application	Ideal depth is around 1-2 mm for jointing sand (for block paving or patio slabs).
Type of Use	For filling joints between block paving, slabs, or any exterior surface with narrow gaps.
Substrate Suitability	Ideal for use on dry surfaces only, as wet or damp surfaces may cause clumping.
Sand Grain Size	0.2-0.7 mm (fine-grained, dry sand).
Usage in Block Paving	Typically used for jointing and locking the paving blocks in place, preventing movement.
Weight per m² (Approx.)	Around 5-8 kg of sand is required per square meter, depending on the joint width and depth.
Average Bag Requirement	For a typical 50 m² area, around 12-16 bags are required for proper jointing.
Common Applications	Driveways, patios, footpaths, commercial spaces with block paving or flagstones.
Conditions for Use	Ensure the sand is applied on a dry day and the paving is completely dry to avoid uneven filling or clumping.
Shelf Life	Can be stored for up to 12 months in dry, cool conditions.
