When it comes to choosing the perfect material for driveways in Lancashire, tarmac has emerged as a popular option. Lakestone Paving, with its extensive experience in installing tarmac driveways, understands the unique advantages and considerations associated with this versatile material.
Pros of Tarmac:
- Durability and Strength: Tarmac is renowned for its exceptional durability, able to withstand heavy vehicles and the unpredictable Lancashire weather. Its flexible nature prevents cracking and breaking, making it a long-lasting choice for driveways.
- Cost-effective: Tarmac is a cost-effective option compared to other materials like concrete or block paving. Its efficient installation process helps to keep expenses reasonable, without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
- Quick Installation: Tarmac driveways can be installed relatively quickly compared to other materials. Lakestone Paving’s experienced team ensures efficient installation, minimising disruptions to your daily routine.
- Versatility: Tarmac offers a range of design options, including different colors and finishes. It can be customised to suit various architectural styles, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your property.
- Low Maintenance: Tarmac requires minimal maintenance, making it an attractive choice for busy homeowners. Regular sweeping and occasional resealing are typically sufficient to keep it looking pristine.
Cons of Tarmac:
- Heat Retention: Tarmac can retain heat, making it warmer to touch during hot summer days. However, this can be mitigated by using lighter colors or incorporating shading elements into the design.
- Initial Softness: Newly laid tarmac driveways may have a slightly softer surface initially. It is recommended to avoid placing heavy objects or parking on the driveway for a few days to allow it to fully set and harden.
- Oil Stains: Tarmac is susceptible to oil stains, especially if not promptly cleaned. Regular maintenance and addressing spills promptly can help minimise the appearance of stains.
