What is Tarmacadam?
Tarmacadam, commonly referred to as tarmac, is a type of road surfacing material that combines crushed stones and tar. This mix is then laid and compacted to create a solid, smooth surface. Tarmac is favoured for its resilience and ability to provide a clean, polished look to driveways, roads, and other surfaces.
Due to its composition, tarmacadam can withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal option for both residential and commercial properties. Its ease of installation and quick setting time further enhance its attractiveness as a popular surfacing choice.
One of the major advantages of tarmac is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to alternative surfaces like concrete or block paving, tarmac is relatively affordable, making it an appealing option for a wide range of projects. Additionally, the low maintenance requirements and the availability of different colour options allow homeowners to customise their driveways without significant long-term costs. Tarmacadam’s flexibility also means that it is less likely to crack over time, providing a longer-lasting and more reliable surface for your driveway.
