This tool helps you calculate the amount of polymeric sand needed for your project.
Polymeric Sand Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate how much polymeric sand you will need for your project.
How to Use the Calculator:
- Enter the length and width of the area you plan to cover in feet.
- Enter the desired depth of the joints between the bricks or pavers in inches.
- Enter the width of the joints between the bricks or pavers in inches.
- Enter the size of the bricks or pavers in square inches.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated weight of the polymeric sand required in kilograms.
How It Calculates:
The calculator first determines the total area of the project site in square feet. It then uses the dimensions of the bricks or pavers to estimate the total volume of the joints between them in cubic feet. Finally, it converts that volume to weight in kilograms using a standard density value for polymeric sand (101.6 kg per cubic foot).
Limitations:
- The calculator assumes uniform joint width and depth.
- The accuracy of the result depends on the accuracy of the input values.
- Environmental factors like moisture content are not considered in this calculation.
