Why Specify Mastic Asphalt Paving

Mastic asphalt is laid hot by hand and sets as it cools into a dense, void-free, completely waterproof surface with no joints. Where tarmac is porous and slabs move and crack, mastic asphalt stays seamless, which is why it has been specified for decades on car park decks, walkways and public spaces where water must not reach the structure beneath.

It is slip-resistant, resists fuel and oil spillage, accepts line marking and coloured finishes, and can be repaired invisibly by re-melting. It is also one of the few paving systems that is both the waterproofing layer and the finished surface, so for car park deck waterproofing it saves a layer and a trade.

Asphalt Paving Questions

Tarmac (rolled asphalt) is machine-laid and compacted, leaving it slightly porous. Mastic asphalt is hand-laid hot with no air voids, so it is fully waterproof and seamless. That makes it the right choice where water must not reach what is underneath — decks, podiums, balconies — and for pedestrian surfaces that need to stay smooth and trip-free.
