What is Surface Dressing
Surface dressing proved to be the best method to prolong the life of road surfaces, as it’s very cost-effective and easy to perform. The process begins with applying a new layer of bitumen across the driveway surface. Next, stone chippings are poured and flattened by machinery to create a smooth and flat surface.
Whether driveways or front roads, understanding your needs and desire for a beautifully designed and built front space is necessary to identify what kind of driveways suit you. Surface dressing is a cost-effective way to restore the road surface and seal it in one process. The surface dressing also:
- Improves skidding resistance which makes the driveways safer
- It helps to make front road waterproof
- Protection from frost and water damage.
At AP Roadways, we spray the road with the best-grade liquid tar and then add a layer of stone chippings. The chippings are pressed into the surface by a roller to make a strong bond with the existing surface. More chippings are applied to the surface than required to complete the dressing process, ensuring a uniform emulsion coating.
The Benefit of Total Surfacing Solution in East Anglia
A new driveway is an excellent way to increase your property’s parking area and add value to your home. AP Roadways tar and chip surface dressing is perfect if your existing surface has a lot of cracks and requires some repairs. However, surface dressing is not suitable for tarmac, asphalt and concrete. Residential and commercial property owners in East Anglia can rely on AP Roadways for total surfacing solutions. Hiring a tarmac contractor that completed numerous driveways in East Anglia has many advantages.
- Enhances skidding resistance: Over time, driveways get smooth due to frequent use and offer less grip to use for vehicles. Fortunately, with a surface dressing, skidding resistance will significantly improve, decreasing the chances for cars to skid or lose grip.
- Waterproofing tar and chip driveways: Surfacing materials such as asphalt or tarmac are prone to large cracks in the parking area and can lead to significant water damage within the surface layer, causing further damage if left untreated. The whole surface will become waterproof through surface dressing due to the bitumen layer and stones that fill in any cracks, helping maintain the driveways’ waterproof nature.
- Long-lasting and smooth driveways: Large potholes are likely apparent in poorly built and maintained driveways, which can be very dangerous for drivers. Gradually the top layer of the driveway will become very chipped, creating an uneven and rough road to drive on. However, with the help of AP Roadways’ hot tar spray with Rockstone surfacing, the whole driveway poured with the new layer will be flattened with machinery, creating a stable and smooth surface for drivers.
- Get maintenance-free driveways: When the contractors do it right, complete the surfacing dressing to the best level. In that case, the final finish will prolong the driveway’s life by up to 15 years, whereas different solutions last around half as long. That ultimately translates into less maintenance and additional material and labour cost reduction.
- Cost-effective solution: Finally, surface dressing beats all alternative solutions regarding value for money. It doesn’t require any excavation and surfacing like other methods. Also, the simplified procedure involves very little money, materials and labour.
