Traprock is a name for any dark-colored igneous rock with fine grain, like basalt, peridotite, diabase, and gabbro. When crushed, traprock has a variety of applications in the construction industry, from road-building to concrete paving and foundation installation. Manchester Aggregate Supply, providers of fill materials to construction companies and homeowners throughout Connecticut, offer high-quality traprock perfect for almost any job.

Broken up as a gravel, traprock is perfect for building the foundations of roads, but it can also be finely ground and mixed into concrete. In conditions where acid and abrasion resistance are important, it's actually superior to limestone as a road-building base material.

Because of its fine grain and ability to hold a very high polish, traprock is also often used as a veneer surface in commercial construction and can be used to make tiles for residential bathrooms and kitchens. The hardness and durability of these stones make them ideal for an extensive variety of applications.
