Quartzcoat Ltd and Long Rake Spar have worked together for many years and this working relationship continues to go from strength to strength.
Quartzcoat Ltd began life back in 2005 as Celtic Driveways Ltd. The foundations of which, were built within the concrete industry, mainly dealing with imprinted surfacing installations.
In 2007 the company moved into the Resin Bound Aggregate market and by 2009, it was felt that a company identity was needed, over and above the original trading name given to the founding company, and one with which, a new branding could be created.
Hence Quartzcoat Ltd was born, providing resin bound surfacing systems in west Wales.
