Frequently asked questions

- Determine how thick you want the asphalt

- Convert the thickness from inches to feet.
- Multiply the thickness in feet by the square footage to determine cubic feet.
Tarmac is slightly different to asphalt as asphalt uses Bitumen. Asphalt can be used to surface the same areas that were once surfaced using tarmac. Like tarmac, asphalt is an aggregate of gravel, sand and a binding agent, for asphalt this is bitumen and in tarmac, tar is the binding agent.
Aggregate Industries provides both high quality asphalt and concrete products so it really depends on your project needs and requirements. Asphalt offers a smoother finish whilst being slightly quieter to drive on and lower in cost per cubic square. Concrete however has incredibly strong properties and can offer more porous properties.
