Frequently Asked Questions
What is coloured asphalt and how is it different from regular black asphalt?
Coloured asphalt is a surfacing material that uses colour pigments and aggregates combined with a clear or modified binder to create vibrant, non-black surfaces. Unlike traditional black asphalt that uses standard bitumen binder, coloured asphalt incorporates specially formulated colour-matched aggregates and pigments to achieve a wide range of hues including reds, browns, greens, and blues. The ULTICOLOUR Asphalt we supply offers exceptional quality while maintaining the same durability and performance characteristics as traditional asphalt, making it ideal for applications where aesthetics and functionality are both important.
How long does coloured asphalt last?
With proper installation and maintenance, coloured asphalt typically lasts 15-30 years, similar to traditional black asphalt. The ULTICOLOUR Asphalt we install is designed for a lifetime of use thanks to its monolithic finish and high-quality materials. The longevity depends on several factors including traffic volume, weather conditions, and regular maintenance. The colour-matched aggregates used in ULTICOLOUR Asphalt ensure that the surface retains its appearance longer and remains untarnished, even as natural oxidation occurs over time.
How much does coloured asphalt cost compared to regular asphalt?
Coloured asphalt typically costs more per square metre than standard black asphalt due to the specialized pigments, colour-matched aggregates, and clear binder required. However, it remains a cost-effective option compared to other decorative paving materials like stamped concrete or brick pavers. The exact cost depends on the colour chosen, project size, site conditions, and installation complexity. At M.A. Hart, we provide no-obligation written quotations with no hidden fees, and all our ULTICOLOUR Asphalt installations come with a guarantee for your peace of mind.
What colours are available for coloured asphalt?
ULTICOLOUR Asphalt is available in a wide range of vibrant colours to suit any project. Popular options include various shades of red, brown, green, blue, terracotta, and buff tones. We can supply the colour that best matches your aesthetic requirements, whether you’re looking for bold, eye-catching hues for safety applications like bus lanes and cycle paths, or more subtle, natural tones for residential driveways and decorative landscaping. Contact us to discuss the full range of colour options available for your specific project.
Where can coloured asphalt be used?
ULTICOLOUR Asphalt is incredibly versatile and suitable for numerous applications. Common uses include children’s play areas, pedestrianised zones, bus lanes, cycle paths, driveways, parking areas, multi-use games areas (MUGAs), porous pavements, decorative landscaping, and residential roads. It’s particularly effective where improved visibility and safety are priorities, making it ideal for rural environments and low-lit areas. The material is also BBA HAPAS approved and fully compliant with Clause 942 of the specification for highway works, making it suitable for both domestic, commercial, and industrial projects.
Does coloured asphalt require special maintenance?
Coloured asphalt requires similar maintenance to traditional black asphalt, though some additional care helps preserve colour vibrancy. Regular cleaning, prompt crack sealing, and periodic sealcoating (every 2-3 years) will protect the surface from UV damage and environmental wear. The high-quality, UV-resistant pigments and colour-matched aggregates used in ULTICOLOUR Asphalt are specifically designed to maintain colour intensity over time. The elimination of common maintenance issues through the use of premium materials means you’ll spend less time on upkeep while enjoying a trip-free, safe surface that looks great for years.
Can coloured asphalt fade over time?
All asphalt surfaces, including coloured varieties, will naturally lighten somewhat over time due to oxidation from exposure to sunlight, traffic, weathering, and dirt. However, ULTICOLOUR Asphalt is specifically formulated with colour-matched aggregates that help maintain the surface’s appearance far longer than standard coloured asphalt products. The use of UV-resistant pigments and high-quality materials ensures the colour remains vibrant and visible for the lifetime of the surface. Regular maintenance including cleaning and sealcoating will further help preserve the colour vibrancy and overall appearance of your coloured asphalt installation.
