Tarmac is a durable and cost-effective option for road surfaces, driveways, or other surfaces. It offers a consistent surface, providing a safe driving surface in all weather conditions.
The lifespan of tarmac can vary depending on the quality of the materials used, installation method, and the amount of traffic, among others. A well-installed tarmac surface can last between 8 to 15 years.
