Rock Salt Grit

Before the winter sets in it is essential that you stock up on rock salt grit, otherwise when the snow and ice sets in even the delivery vehicle may not be able to get in to deliver it. We stock a range of salt products and sell them in anything from bags to pallets ensuring you can buy just what you need to get the job done when the British winter sets in.

About Rock Salt Grit

Rock salt is a natural mineral used all over Britain to melt ice and snow on roads, pavements, and driveways. By lowering the freezing point of water, this “deicing salt” melts snow and ice build-ups while also preventing the formation of new layers of ice. Grit salt can be kept in a grit bin throughout the year so it is available when needed.

When designed for roads, road salt is blended with grit, which improves traction by up to 70%, reducing the amount of required salt to de ice the road, meaning that each sack will last much longer than other blends. Please be aware that different types of salt can be sold as “rock salt”, each with different attributes.

Road grit is a firm favourite of many businesses, schools, hospitals, and even residential accommodations providing essential grit for ice and effective salt for driveways. Its cost-effectiveness and ease of use allow you to improve safety without breaking the bank.

Key Considerations When Buying Rock Salt

Before choosing the best de-icing salt for your needs, consider the following factors to ensure it meets your functional needs.

Storage

Good rock salt maintains its effectiveness over time without clumping or deteriorating, allowing year-round storage for quick use when cold weather strikes.

Ease of Application

Good rock salt has a consistent particle size, allowing it to be spread evenly and smoothly for efficient coverage. Consistently sized grit can pass through a spreader for even easier application.
