Tarmac & Asphalt Contractors Ireland
Mactar is a tarmac and asphalt contractor operating across Dublin, Leinster and Ireland.
We install and resurface driveways, roads, car parks and commercial surfaces for residential, commercial and public clients with six qualified crews, over three decades of hands-on experience, and a fully licensed and insured service.
Tarmac and asphalt - the same craft
In the Irish market, 'tarmac' and 'asphalt' describe the same kind of surface. Tarmac (short for tarmacadam) is crushed stone aggregate bound with bitumen - which is why it is also called 'bitmac' or asphalt. It is laid as a hot mix that cools into a compact, smooth, durable surface, and it can be applied over most existing surfaces. Whichever term you use, Mactar delivers it: new installation, resurfacing and repair, from a domestic driveway to a trafficked carriageway.
