Did you know that silica arena sand and silica sand are two different things? Silica arena sand is commonly used for equestrian and leisure activities whilst silica sand is widely used in the construction industry. Find out more below:
Equestrian
Silica arena sand is ideal for horse riding arenas due to the quality, firmness and drainage properties of the sand. Watering the sand or adding rubber chip and fibre will maintain its firmness and quality. It is crucial to select the correct sand to ensure you are able to create the ideal surface for horse riding. If the incorrect sand is used, it can cause a very ‘deep’ ride which could increase fatigue and cause possible injury to the horse.
Leisure
Silica arena sand is equally suited to horse riding arenas with low usage. If a firm riding surface is not a priority, keeping the sand dry will create a softer ground. This product can be used for many different leisure activities including golf courses, football pitches, rugby pitches, bowling greens and tennis courts.
Industrial
Silica sand is regularly used in a variety of industrial applications including ceramics, glass, cast stone, insulators, paints, plastics, adhesive and construction industries. Silica sand is processed to ensure a quality product to suit a broad range of industrial demands.
