QMiX CONCRETE
Cement Bound Sand (CBS) Supplier

Cement Bound Sand (CBS) from QMiX Concrete is a specialist cement-stabilised material commonly used for bedding, backfilling, and levelling applications. Produced by blending sand with a controlled amount of cement and water, CBS provides improved stability compared to loose sand while remaining workable and easy to place.
CBS is widely used where a semi-rigid, compactable material is required, offering better load distribution and reduced movement than traditional sand. It is suitable for both domestic and commercial projects, particularly in preparation works ahead of final construction layers.
Our cement bound sand is Energy Networks Association Technical Specification (ENA TS) 97-1 approved, providing assurance of suitability for use on utility and infrastructure projects where specification compliance is required.
