Frequently Asked Questions About USA Asphalt
What exactly is asphalt?
Asphalt is primarily known as the material used for roads and parking lots, but it's actually derived from petroleum. At refineries, asphalt is separated and then modified for various uses. This can involve adding agents to increase malleability, or emulsifying or pulverizing it to achieve the right consistency. For paving, asphalt is mixed into different types: hot-mix (most common for its flexibility and weather resistance), warm-mix (increasingly popular due to lower fossil fuel usage), or cold-mix (ideal for winter pothole repairs). For more detailed information, you can explore the asphalt manufacturing process.
How thick does my asphalt need to be?
The required thickness of your asphalt surface largely depends on the types of vehicles and the expected stress on your parking lot. To ensure we provide the most appropriate recommendation for asphalt thickness, it's crucial to share as many details as possible with our paving experts.
When and why should I sealcoat my driveway?
We typically advise applying a sealcoat to driveways, parking lots, and roadways every 3-5 years. Sealcoating involves applying a thin liquid layer over the paved surface. This protective measure helps shield the asphalt from potential damage caused by UV rays, precipitation, and vehicle fluids.
How long does an asphalt parking lot or driveway last?
An asphalt surface, when properly installed using high-quality materials by an experienced contractor, should have a lifespan of 30 years or more. The key to maximizing the durability and longevity of your asphalt surface lies in regular preventative maintenance. With consistent upkeep, you can potentially extend the life of your lot to 40 or even 50 years, while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Why should I choose asphalt pavement for my paving needs?
The state of your parking lot or driveway communicates a message to your customers. A well-maintained, smooth asphalt surface free of cracks and potholes demonstrates your attention to detail and concern for appearances. It also conveys your commitment to customer safety and your desire to protect their vehicles from damage when they visit your business. Asphalt has proven its worth as an excellent paving material over time. From a cost perspective, asphalt provides performance comparable to more expensive alternatives.
Can you perform asphalt repairs in the winter?
Certain asphalt repair work can be carried out during winter months. Typically, a temporary fix is implemented using cold-mix asphalt, with a permanent repair scheduled for more favorable weather conditions. However, it's generally advisable to repair or replace your blacktop before the onset of winter.
