Surface dressing is the term used to describe the technique of renewing a road surface with an application of bitumen emulsion and aggregate chippings. It is the most widely used road maintenance technique in Ireland.

The layer of bitumen emulsion seals the road surface from water ingress, thereby improving the durability of the pavement. The layer of chippings provides a high friction surface to increase road safety for users.
