To restore and rejuvenate asphalt and tarmac areas such as car parks, driveways, warehouse floors/walkways, balconies, playgrounds and roads, one would typically use a high quality and heavy-duty sealer to offer long-term abrasion protection and prevent any further cracks and degradation of the surface material.

Products used to improve the aesthetics and durability of roads and driveways are known by several different names, and Rawlins Paints receive enquiries daily about tarmac paints, asphalt paints, driveway paints – which are essentially one and the same thing - and garage floor paints. Alongside tarmac and driveway paints, you may require line marking paints, tapes, symbols and numbers for car-parks and/or domestic purposes outside residential properties and businesses.

The main feature many customers look for in tarmac paints is the range of colours available and if the product offers extra chemical and weatherproofing resistance. The full range of “road paints” at Rawlins Paints each come with detailed data-sheets, offering technical information, application advice (such as whether the product can be applied to wet or damp tarmac surfaces) and suitable methods (brush, roller or spray), as well as the best ways to maintain the tarmac/asphalt surface. If in doubt, however, give Rawlins Paints’ technical support team a call.

Tarmac Driveway Paints

Asphalt and tarmac driveway surfaces are prone to extreme weathering and colour fading from consistent UV exposure, and seasonal elements and temperature cycles. Whilst resins, paints and sealers available here do offer a one-coat long-term protection system, a routine maintenance audit is recommended to ensure that excessive water can easily be drained away, and that any oil or fuel spills are cleaned up as soon as possible – for example, spots where cars and vehicles regularly park. High quality and heavy-duty tarmac paints do offer chemical resistance against such fuels, vehicle coolants and cleaning liquids, but any existing damage to the surface will need repairing first before successful and longstanding application of a rejuvenating top-coat.

Painting floors with high-quality commercial or industrial coatings is much more cost effective and less disruptive to a project than using cheaper substitutes. Larger projects require some form of ‘guarantee’ for the client and/or building owner to provide peace of mind that the coating system applied to internal or external flooring will last for an agreed period of time - if correctly maintained.

Using our products, it is possible to decorate and protect concrete, tarmac, asphalt, wood or metal floors, both improving its life expectancy for greater periods of times, and delivering waterproofing and protective properties that can lower the risk of major repair and costly maintenance work. Achieve long-lasting results, with the wide range of floor paints and coatings available at Rawlins Paints today.

We offer systems that are available in virtually any colour and finish - including colour matching existing decorative or company colour schemes - in our light to medium (pedestrianised) right up to heavy use (light to medium vehicular activity) coatings for a wide range of interior or exterior substrates and surface materials.

A trained member of our Technical Support Team will visit your site and carry out a full inspection, write a tailored specification to meet your requirements and offer an approved contractor for the application.
