Tuffdrive®
Tuffdrive® provides a high-quality surface finish with enhanced resistance against power steering use from private vehicles on residential driveways and parking areas.
Tuffdrive has a unique design employing a specially formulated polymer modified bitumen (PMB) ideal for driveways and car parks where a highly scuff resistance material is required. Tuffdrive’s unique design results in a highly durable material that should outlast conventional materials, significantly reducing the whole-life carbon cost to the environment.
Tuffdrive+ offers increased levels of compactability, resistance to power steering and fuel resistance.
Tuffdrive is available in both 10mm and 6mm nominal sizes. We recommend Tuffdrive is laid using conventional paving equipment in line with BS 594987.
Tuffdrive can also be produced using Heidelberg Materials' era 140 warm mix process, reducing CO₂ emissions.
