Street Pavers Replaced with DuraTherm
This article was written by the director of the Department of Special Utility Projects of the City of Hamilton, OH. Our Ohio applicator, Gerken Paving, worked on making this project a reality and was subcontracted to make the DuraTherm installation. From the Journal News:
"As all of us who travel Main Street have experienced, the pavers that were installed some years ago in the crosswalks across Main Street simply haven’t worked. They cracked, or they sank, or they moved sideways, and every attempted correction to keep them level and in place has failed...
When warm weather arrives, major work will begin to correct the crosswalks by removing the pavers and replacing them with asphalt, along with a new thermoplastic imprinting product called DuraTherm."

StreetPrintXD™ News Release
StreetPrint XD™ is an exciting extension to the Company’s proven StreetPrint™ pavement texturing product that provides increased performance and durability in more demanding environments. Designed primarily for crosswalks, commercial entranceways and parking lots, StreetPrint XD gives an authentic brick look without the trip hazards and ongoing maintenance often associated with brick pavers and stamped concrete.
Imprinting Architectural Heritage into the Streets
Loyola University and the City of Chicago chose DuraTherm because of its design flexibility and durability characteristics. DuraTherm is a decorative asphalt surfacing system specifically designed for high-traffic areas. It is a thermoplastic material that is inlaid into imprinted asphalt and installed flush with the surface. As a result it withstands high traffic environments and resists snow plow damage. DuraTherm lasts considerable longer than other surface laid thermoplastics.
Decorative Asphalt Prints Gaining Popularity World Wide
Back in the early 1990s, a paving contractor in the British Columbia interior working on stamped concrete thought back to when he had accidentally dropped a wrench onto a fresh asphalt slab and rolled over it – leaving a perfect imprint that remained afterwards. That wrench made a big impression, one that eventually became the basis for Integrated Paving Concepts and a product that has been used in countries around the world, creating decorative asphalt patterns for crosswalks, driveways, and many other features.
