Whindust

Whindust is a local name used in Scotland and the North of England referring to fine grained grit or dust resulting as a by product from the grinding and breaking of Whinstone. Whindust is available in several forms, Washed Whindust, Damp Whindust and Whindust. The principle uses of the aggregate are for creating a low cost firm base under landscaping features. Typically the dust would be applied over a foundation layer of heavier rubble. The dust is of a very hard igneous rock so does not break down into sand, yet it does pack into a very solid form. This makes the product ideal for slabbing and driveways.
