Differences between concrete and tarmac

If you have ever seen a Concrete Tewkesbury company such as www.monstermixconcrete.co.uk/concrete-tewkesbury/ delivering the material to those looking to build properties or roads, you might be wondering why it is so popular. When it comes to road building, you may be wondering whether concrete is better than tarmac. Here is a quick look at the two building materials.

Concrete – this is made up of a mixture of cement, aggregates and water. The ratio as to which these are mixed together will differ depending on your needs for the cement. This will alter the strength of the cement. When you add more water to the mixture, it will be thinner and less dense, which can make it weaker. Concrete has a long lifespan, and it is incredibly durable. It is for this reason that it is used in the construction of buildings and the foundations of homes and other buildings in particular.

Tarmac – this is created from cement and a number of different aggregates that are mixed together with hot tar. This makes for a final product that is flexible and can be maneuvered into shape until it cools. The final material is very dense, which is why it is a popular choice for road networks. One of the downsides of using tar is that it has been mixed with the other items using hot tar, which then has to cool to set in place.
