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 is a simple addition to any overlay, a simple addition with big benefits!
The Benefits of Paving Fabric
- Paving Fabric minimizes water penetration and thus minimizes damage to the base and sub-base.
- Paving fabric seals any cracks or blemishes in the existing asphalt pavement.
- Paving fabric adds structural support to your asphalt surface.
- Paving fabric also inhibits reflective cracking, which is when cracks in an overlay form over an existing crack or joint.
- Paving fabric reduces asphalt pavement maintenance.
- Paving fabric helps increase asphalt pavement life.
- And more!
