Concrete pavement is perfect for a variety of applications, from interior flooring to driveways and patios. You can find it in commercial, residential, and industrial constructions because it provides several benefits for each. To help you decide whether this type of paving is the smart option for your project, here are some of the material’s advantages.

Reasons to Use Concrete Pavement

1. Eco-Friendly

Concrete has the lowest carbon footprint of any pavement material. A study by Canada’s International Institute for Sustainable Development found that its total carbon footprint over its life span can be up to 6% lower than wood. When it cures, it is emission-free. At the end of its life, it is 100% recyclable as aggregate for the sub-base of future projects.

2. Durable

This kind of pavement is tough in any environment, which is why you can find it both indoors and outdoors in all types of applications. It becomes stronger over time, rather than weakening as most other materials do. It does not burn, rust, rot, or attract insects. It also resists fire, wind, water, and movement.

3. Low-Maintenance

This material requires little care. You should have a professional seal it every two to three years to maintain its durability, but otherwise, it doesn’t require upkeep. If a crack appears, you can fill it quickly and affordably. Hose off the surface or sweep it for quick cleaning.

4. Versatile

Contractors can pour concrete into any shape. Optionally, augment it with additives, which lends the material different performance capacities. You can also stain it any color and add stamped textures that mimic stone or brick. This means you can have an aesthetically pleasing surface for less expense.
