Durable Surface Treatments for Long-Lasting Performance
Jointline offers tar spray and chip surfacing, a durable and visually appealing alternative to asphalt, perfect for enhancing driveways, footpaths, towpaths, and decorative areas. This surface dressing is applied using either hot or cold binder, tailored to the project’s specific needs, and topped with decorative, coloured aggregates for a natural finish.
Methods
Hot or Cold Applied Binder: Tailored to surface conditions and project demands. Hot-applied systems are ideal for heavy-duty areas, while cold-applied systems offer flexibility in lower traffic areas.
Tar Spray & Chip Process: Bitumen emulsion is applied to the surface, followed by scattering aggregate to form a textured, natural-looking surface. While most aggregate adheres to the emulsion, some remains loose for a gravel-like finish.
Key Benefits
Aesthetic Appeal: Creates a visually attractive, natural surface using decorative aggregates, enhancing landscapes, driveways, and paths.
Cost-Effective: A more affordable alternative to asphalt, offering long-term durability without compromising on quality.
Extended Surface Life: Seals the underlying surface, preventing water ingress that leads to erosion and structural damage, significantly extending the life of the existing surface.
Improved Skid Resistance: Textured aggregates provide superior traction, making it ideal for pedestrian zones and vehicles alike.
Durability & Safety: Suitable for various applications, including asphalt and concrete, ensuring anti-slip properties with enhanced durability.
