UltiColour Specification Review

It is clear to see that Ulticolour macadam provides a high-performance finish which instantly transforms the environment.

Not only does it look fantastic but it also serves a major purpose in a wide range of different locations.

Ulti colour hard surfacing is the preferred alternative to regular macadam which can often be described as boring and uninspiring. Obviously, there are occasions that regular black macadam is opted for however it is always good to have the option to brighten an area and make it more personalised.

Ulti Colour serves a fantastic purpose in the surfacing industry however it is always important that you carry out checks on all potential installation companies before placing orders. This includes how long the company has been trading, references, case studies etc.
