How long does new sealcoating last?
The longevity of new sealcoating typically ranges from 2 to 3 years, depending on factors such as local weather conditions and the volume of traffic it experiences.
What are the benefits of asphalt paving?
Asphalt paving offers numerous advantages, including cost-effectiveness compared to concrete, rapid installation and curing times, a smooth and safe driving surface, ease of repair and maintenance, and environmental friendliness due to its recyclability.
What causes cracks or potholes?
The formation of cracks and potholes is primarily attributed to water infiltration, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, excessive load bearing, and insufficient maintenance of the asphalt surface.
Is asphalt environmentally friendly?
Indeed, asphalt is considered an environmentally responsible choice for paving. Its 100% recyclability makes it one of the most sustainable materials available in the paving industry.
Can asphalt be installed in cold weather?
While asphalt installation is ideally performed in warm, dry conditions, specialized mixes have been developed to accommodate paving in cooler temperatures when necessary.
What's the difference between asphalt and concrete?
Asphalt and concrete differ in several key aspects. Asphalt is characterized by its flexibility, easier repair process, and lower initial cost. Concrete, on the other hand, is rigid and has a longer lifespan, but comes with a higher price tag and requires a longer curing period.
