What Are The Different Car Park Surface Options? 

 

The harsh winter months will take a toll on all types of surfaces. Whether it a residential road now covered in small potholes or a larger commercial surface that has developed bumps and cracks which are growing in size every day, the winter is by far the worst month for damaging our surfaces. As the weather starts to warm up and business slowly returns to normal its the perfect opportunity to assess the damage and consider the next steps needed to repair/replace the damaged surfacing. 

 

All commercial surfaces need to be fit for purpose, regardless of the nature of your business. Construction companies need well looked after roads to get the vehicles in and out of the site and small businesses need a car park which gives customers the ability to store their vehicle safely when visiting. If your surface is not able to keep up with the daily operations of your business its time for a change. 

 

In this article, we are going to cover everything you need to know about the different car park surfacing options available. A lot of these benefits will be relevant to other applications as well so stay tuned and find out which option is best for your businesses needs.   

 

Tarmacadam Surfacing 

 

Tarmacadam otherwise referred to as bituminous macadam or Bitmac, is the most cost-effective method of surfacing on the market. Offering clients a low cost and fast installation solution for a range of surfacing needs, tarmacadam is a great option for car parks and other commercial surfaces. Not only does this mean you can keep the cost of the project down but you also help to minimise disruption to your business. Some of the other common uses for tarmacadam are surface pavements, highways and even internal floors. 

 

Hot Rolled Asphalt Surfacing

 

Hot rolled asphalt commonly known as HRA is a mixture of mineral aggregate, sand, filler and bitumen that complies with the NRA Specification for Road Works. Commonly used for highways, this surface solution is also a great option for large car parks. Offering great durability, longevity ad skid resistance, your investment will be sure to serve your businesses needs for many years to come. Hot rolled asphalt also provides a range of aesthetic benefits which help improve the overall appearance of your work premises. 

 

Porous Tarmac Surfacing

 

Open-graded/porous tarmac has become one of the most popular car park surfacing option on the market due to its water drainage properties. Not only does this help prevent the car park from becoming waterlogged but this also will prevent the build-up of ice throughout the winter. If your business car park is prone to flooding, porous tarmac is a great option for you. This surface is great for moving rainwater into the underlying layers, additionally, when fitted with a drainage system you can eliminate flooding. 

 

Car Park Surfacing Summary

 

If your a business owner looking to renovate your car park, its the perfect time of year to get started. There is a range of surfacing materials out there suitable for car park surfacing but in our professional option, porous tarmac is the best option. Boasting great water drainage capabilities and a professional aesthetic, you can now take your business premise to the next level.
