Thornaby-on-Tees Tar & Chip Surface Dressing
What Is Tar & Chip?
Tar and chip (also known as chip & seal, seal chip or surface dressing) is an excellent economical choice for resurfacing a road surface in Thornaby-on-Tees.
How Is Our Thornaby-on-Tees Tar & Chip Made?
Tar & chip surfaces are created in Thornaby-on-Tees by applying a resin to the designated surface, then applying an aggregate made up of hundreds of stones, including granite and natural gravel.
In some cases, tar & chip can be laid over existing surfaces such as concrete or tarmac, enabling its installation to be faster and cheaper than other methods available in Thornaby-on-Tees.
The Advantages Of Using Surface Dressing for Thornaby-on-Tees Roads
The rough surface of tar and chip means it’s excellent at providing grip when the roads in Thornaby-on-Tees are wet or snow-covered. It’s also more durable than a traditional gravel finish.
But, should any cracks appear, the nature of the tar allows it to self-heal. This leaves you with a long lasting road surface that is exceptionally low maintenance.
