TOP BENEFITS OF ASPHALT PAVING

2/14/2022

Asphalt paving has many benefits over other types of paving. Almost 94% of all road surfaces in the USA are constructed and maintained with asphalt. Here are just a few benefits:

Cost-Effective - Asphalt road surfaces are quick to install and have a much longer lifespan than other paving materials. The repairs to asphalt surfaces are easy and cost effective and should be regularly maintained to extend their longevity. Because of the smoothness of asphalt surfaces, the wear and tear on vehicles is lessened due to fewer bumps in the road.

Safety - This is an important benefit, especially in Colorado, where the snow can cause havoc on the roads. #Asphaltpavements offer high skid resistance and also create a color contrast with snow covered roads giving drivers more visibility in inclement weather. The dark color reduces the glare and helps to melt the snow quicker. Asphalt surfacing can also reduce rainstorm splash and spray, making it less dangerous for traffic.

Smoothness - Asphalt mix allows paving companies to get a smooth, solid finish on large surfaces. This provides a uniform surface reducing rolling resistance or the friction between tires and solid surfaces. Therefore fuel costs are decreased as well as carbon dioxide emissions. This also allows better contact with the road surface which is safer.

Quiet - Asphalt paving offers a far quieter ride for motorists and residents closer to freeways. Asphalt roads can reduce freeway noise by as much as 7 decibels.

Easy - Asphalt is easy to install, allowing versatility for major freeways to do one lane at a time and still allowing vehicles to pass. Traffic is usually back up and running as soon as the rollers have finished. This creates a minimum disruption to neighborhoods. Cities usually pave overnight or in one day creating far less disruption for stores and shopping malls.

Environment Friendly - Asphalt is one of the most recyclable products in the world. The asphalt industry reuses over 100 million tons of asphalt in a year, saving taxpayers and keeping it out of landfills.

Curb Appeal - Wherever cities have paved with asphalt the area has a great, upgraded appeal. Good looking cities have less crime and create pride in the area, upgrading the price of homes and the safety in the neighborhood.

SEALCOATING ASPHALT PAVING

3/9/22

Sealcoating your asphalt driveway is a great option to revamp the look of your surface and give it added protection for the year ahead. The liquid sealcoat is a specially formulated layer of liquid that protects your asphalt overlay from the harsh UV rays, heavy snowfalls and freezing and thawing cycles, and water damage. Sealcoating asphalt that’s become a bit tired and dull will give your driveway a shiny, black surface that will protect your paving from water, oil spills and further damage to tiny cracks.

Sealcoating an asphalt surface will not repair potholes, raveling or cracks. The damage that exists on your asphalt driveway will have to be repaired first and then the sealcoat applied. This sealcoat mixture is usually made from refined tar or petroleum products, and is effective in reducing friction and creates a smoother driving experience.

It will however, give you a flawless finish to your existing driveway or parking space. Regular sealcoating is a great way to extend your driveway lifespan.

It is a good idea to regularly schedule a sealcoating, it’s an essential part of your overall asphalt pavement maintenance and can save you dollars in repairs down the line.
