0-6mm Granite Dust (Grano) for Artificial Grass Granite dust is used to form the ‘laying course’ in an artificial grass installation. The ‘laying course’ is the final layer of aggregates that is installed directly underneath the artificial grass, and on top of the sub-base. This dust, or grano, is 0–6mm in diameter. It is a coarse aggregate that binds together to form a strong laying course. It also provides a flat, smooth surface on which to lay artificial grass. Prior to installing the laying course, you’ll need to install a sufficient sub-base, consisting of either MOT Type 1 or 20mm granite chippings. How much aggregate will I need for the laying course? We recommend that you install your laying course to a depth of 25mm, or 1 inch. Our granite dust is supplied in 850kg ‘bulk bags’, or ‘ton bags’, as they are also known. To calculate how much you need: Calculate the area of your lawn Multiply the area by 0.025 Multiply by 1.75 Round up to the nearest whole number. How do you install the laying course? The laying course is levelled using a rake, to a depth of 25mm (1 inch) across the entire lawn area, and then thoroughly compacted with a vibrating plate compactor. Prior to using the plate compactor, we recommend that you lightly spray the aggregates using a garden hose. This helps the dust bind together, whilst also helping to prevent the dust becoming airborne. How will my order be delivered? Our bulk bags are shipped via a third-party, tail-lift, pallet courier. For pallet deliveries, it is extremely important that your property can be accessed by a 7.5-ton lorry. Pallets are lowered off the back of the lorry and manoeuvred by the driver to as near to your property as is deemed safe.
