Characteristics and Advantages of Asphalt Sidewalks


Posted March 20, 2023 by mackinleyclarkpavingbc

Asphalt is used for much more than just flat, black sheets of pavement for building Sidewalks in Kelowna, BC.

 
Due to its advantages and flexibility, asphalt will stay in demand as a substance for walkways and paths. The ability of asphalt to be stamped to resemble brick, gravel, and other building materials is a real plus.

1-Pliable road surface
Compared to Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), which requires expansion joints, asphalt is a viscoelastic material that resists cracking.

2- Persistent surface
A consistent, waterproof covering component of asphalt prevents plant development. It lowers the risk of base failures brought on by eroding or freeze-thaw cycles. And that stops water from migrating to the base. 

3- Simple to maintain
Asphalt is inexpensive to maintain and is easily repairable. So, if you are a wise investor, consider asphalt for building sidewalks Kelowna.

4-Susceptibility to salt
Deicing salt or sea air in coastal locations has little effect on asphalt. The interaction of the concrete with salt can cause PCC products, such as cement bricks, to spill and decay.

5-Fast installation
Asphalt can be put in as much as ten times faster than cement and concrete, which causes far less traffic disturbance.

6-Elaborate designs for decoration
The creation of embossing artwork on a surface is practicable thanks to pressing and stamping methods. It opens up a whole new market for those developing beautiful sidewalks in Kelowna quickly and simply.
