Whether you’re building a road, laying a foundation, landscaping your garden, or constructing a commercial structure, stone chips play a crucial role in the strength and longevity of your project. But not all stone chips are the same — choosing the right type and size can make all the difference.
At Vidyarthi Stone Works, we understand that quality aggregates are the backbone of every solid structure. Here’s a helpful guide to choosing the right stone chips for your needs.
1. Know Your Project Type
Different projects require different grades of stone chips:
- Road Construction: Use coarse aggregates like 40mm or 20mm stone chips. They provide strength and better load-bearing capacity.
- Concrete Mix: 20mm chips are typically used in RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) to enhance strength and bonding.
- Plastering Work: Use fine aggregates like sand or dust, not large stone chips.
- Landscaping or Aesthetic Design: Decorative chips (5–10mm) can be used in walkways or garden designs.
- Railway Ballast: Hard and angular 50mm+ chips ensure durability and drainage.
2. Understand Chip Sizes
Here are some common sizes and their general uses:
| Size | Application |
| 6mm – 10mm | Flooring, tiling base, decorative use |
| 12mm – 20mm | Concrete work, columns, beams |
| 25mm – 40mm | Road sub-base, foundation filling |
| 50mm+ | Railway ballast, drainage systems |
3. Material Quality Matters
Always ensure the chips are:
- Hard and Angular – for better compaction and bonding
- Free of Dust and Clay – to avoid weakening of the concrete mix
- Sourced from Reputed Quarries – like those used by Vidyarthi Stone Works
We specialize in blast stone and premium-grade aggregates, ensuring durability, high compressive strength, and reliable supply.
4. Location and Transportation
Choosing a local supplier not only saves cost but also ensures timely delivery. Vidyarthi Stone Works, located at Netaji Subhash Colony, Sahibganj, offers bulk supply across Jharkhand and nearby regions, making it easier to meet your project timelines.
5. Consult the Experts
When in doubt, it’s best to consult with engineers or experienced suppliers. At MS Vidyarthi Stone Works, our team helps clients choose the right grade and size of aggregates depending on their construction goals, budget, and specifications.
Final Thoughts
Stone chips may seem like a minor component in a construction project, but the right choice can significantly impact your project’s quality, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you’re a contractor, builder, or homeowner, making an informed decision is the key.
