PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Gap Sand is Cement Australia's finishing product for paving, designed to lock brick and block pavers into place once they are laid.
Cement Australia describes itself as the nation's leading supplier of cementitious products, and Gap Sand shows the brand's focus on the small products that finish a job properly.
