Tarmac Driveway After Care Tips
If it is well maintained, tarmac driveways will last many years. These tips will help you protect your investment.
1 - Do not drive on asphalt that has been freshly laid for more than two days.
It’s better to wait until asphalt has cooled before you drive on it. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about driveways or paths made of tarmac.
It is crucial to remember that driveways are the most susceptible to damage within the first year. As it ages, the tarmac will become harder and grayer.
2 - Driveway manoeuvres.
Before you reach for the steering column, be on the move.
Scuff marks can be caused by turning the wheel when the vehicle is stationary. Scuff marks left on one spot can cause severe damage.
3 - Do not use 'point loads' to spread pressure.
Point loads are objects that put undue pressure in one place. For example, a motorbike stand relieves pressure on the tyres and puts it through a small metal foot. Point loads may also include feet from ladders or caravans.
To distribute the pressure, you can place a board under each foot or stand.
4 - Clean up all spills immediately.
Your new tarmac driveway can be damaged by oil and detergent. Please don’t allow any spillage to go, no matter how small or large.
All liquids should be soaked immediately. Dry sand or cat litter are good options. These liquids can easily be disposed of using household waste.
You can soak any residue in water and wash it off.
