Asphalt consists of sand, gravel, or stone glued together by asphalt cement. Also known as blacktop, the paving material can include recycled tires or shingles. Asphalt remains a popular building material due to numerous outstanding advantages that benefit your upcoming residential or commercial project.

Top 3 Benefits Of Asphalt Paving

1. Cost-Effective

An incredibly cost-effective material, asphalt is not only cheaper than concrete and other building materials, but it also takes less time to install. It also dries quickly so roads are not blocked for lengthy time periods. Additional money-saving benefits include less wear and tear on cars and trucks because it is so smooth as well as serious durability — the material is incredibly weather-resistant, so it lasts for years and saves you money on replacements.

2. Safe

Asphalt’s multiple layers and smooth finish creates a safe driving experience. Smooth roads provide optimal contact with car and truck tires that also includes fantastic skid resistance, minimal splash and spray during storms, and reduced glare. All of these benefits reduce the chances of vehicular accidents.

3. Eco-Friendly

Millions of tons of asphalt get recycled each year. It requires significantly less new petroleum to create, which saves aggregate. It is also dug up and used again and again — it has virtually no end date regarding reuse. The material also features products such as used tires and shingles.
