Top Tarmac Laying related questions
Tarmac creates durable, long-lasting surfaces for roads, driveways, and pathways. It’s skid-resistant, weatherproof, and strong enough to handle heavy traffic, which makes it a reliable choice for various applications.
Due to its strength and affordability, tarmac is commonly used for public roads, highways, and driveways. It’s also found in car parks, playgrounds, airport runways, and pothole repairs, providing a smooth and low-maintenance surface.
There are several types, including open-graded tarmac for better drainage and close-graded tarmac for a smoother finish. Hot-lay tarmac offers a highly durable surface for roads and commercial spaces, while cold-lay tarmac is a quick-fix solution for potholes and small repairs. Colored tarmac is used for decorative and functional purposes in public spaces.
With proper installation and maintenance, tarmac can last 20–30 years. Factors like traffic load, weather conditions, and upkeep affect its lifespan, but regular sealing and repairs can help extend its durability.
Tarmac is cheaper, quicker to install, and easier to repair than concrete, which makes it ideal for driveways and roads. However, concrete lasts longer (40+ years) and requires less maintenance, making it the better option for high-traffic areas or decorative finishes.
Tarmac is made from tar and crushed stone, while asphalt uses bitumen and aggregate. Bitumen and aggregate make asphalt more durable and better for high-traffic areas. Tarmac is cheaper and easier to install but requires more maintenance. Asphalt, on the other hand, is more weather-resistant and recyclable, making it a longer-lasting option.
