What is Paving Fabric and what are the Benefits?

Friday, May 31st, 2013

Have you ever heard the term geotextile fabric or paving fabric? If so, you may have one very serious question: What is Paving Fabric and what are the Benefits? Well, paving fabric is a sheet of non-woven petroleum-based material used in conjunction with overlays, providing additional support to the asphalt layer.  This fabric is placed between an existing layer of asphalt and the new overlay.

Paving Fabric

Paving fabric is a simple addition to any overlay, a simple addition with big benefits!

The Benefits of Paving Fabric

  1. Paving Fabric minimizes water penetration and thus minimizes damage to the base and sub-base.
  2. Paving fabric seals any cracks or blemishes in the existing asphalt pavement.
  3. Paving fabric adds structural support to your asphalt surface.
  4. Paving fabric also inhibits reflective cracking, which is when cracks in an overlay form over an existing crack or joint.
  5. Paving fabric reduces asphalt pavement maintenance.
  6. Paving fabric helps increase asphalt pavement life.
  7. And more!

Parking Lot Maintenance from your Baltimore Asphalt Contractor

Friday, November 9th, 2012

Maintaining your parking lot is not an option. It is a necessity. And if you are worried about money, consider how much money you will save when your well-maintained parking lot lasts 10-15 years longer than an unmaintained lot.

On average, a parking lot which undergoes no regular maintenance will last 10-15 years. A parking lot that is regularly maintained, however, can last 20-25 years. Now ask yourself which scenario makes more sense for you, your business, and your budget.

Asphalt may seem tough and durable, but add up the effects of traffic and the elements, and you’ll see how quickly commercial asphalt can wear down. The trick is to be proactive.

PTG Enterprises: Your Baltimore, Maryland Asphalt Contractor

PTG Enterprises has paved thousands of miles of asphalt lots, and our crews work quickly and professionally. Our asphalt experts can handle all of your asphalt needs, from small repairs and patches to sealcoating and new asphalt installation.

  • Asphalt Repairs: Addressing cracking and potholes early, while they are small, is much more cost effective than letting your pavement slowly degrade.
  • Sealcoating: Sealcoating is a preventative measure that helps safeguard a parking lot against the harsh effects of gas, oil, salt, weather conditions and oxidation. When applied properly, a sealcoat cures on your parking lot leaving a fresh black finish (protective layer).

When PTG arrives, we’ll prepare the site and get right to work, executing each phase of the asphalt project with an attention to detail that other paving contractors don’t possess. We adhere to a strict timetable to ensure the job gets done quickly, without negatively impacting you. And when PTG is done, we clean up, as well.
