Can you produce custom decorative patterns?
Absolutely. We have an in house design department with architects and drafters that will help bring your creative ideas to reality. Call us toll-free at 1-888-581-2299 to discuss your project with our design department.
Am I limited to the color choice published in your website and brochures?
No. We have the capability to color match any color for any of our products. Your color choice is unlimited.
Why use your products as an alternative to stamped concrete or brick pavers?
Our technologies can be installed very quickly with little disruption, usually much less than other traditional decorative pavement alternatives. Our products use asphalt as a base. Asphalt is a flexible surface that is more likely to accept shifting due to weather extremes and can resist cracking commonly associated with other paving systems. Vehicle braking/accelerating and steering will not shift or break our products, as often happens with brick pavers. If there were a need to do trench repairs or access underground wiring or piping, our surfaces are very easy to patch, for a virtually seamless restoration.
Where can I get it?
We have a network of more than 200 licensed applicators throughout North America. We have distribution operations in more than 40 countries around the world. To find an applicator near you click here or call us at 1-888-581-2299.
How much does it cost?
Prices will vary according to different local conditions such as local labor rates, distance the installer will have to travel to the installation site, project size, etc. You can call us at 1-888-581-2299 and we will recommend the best installer for your project and give you a more clear idea about costs.
How long will your products last?
There are many sites where our products have delivered high performance levels even when exposed to several thousand vehicle passes per day. In all cases, durability depends on many conditions oftentimes unique to each case. The best way to address this is to have a conversation and discuss conditions like traffic volumes, average temperatures, asphalt mixes, humidity levels, etc. This information will help us give you a more accurate response for your particular case. You can call us toll-free us at 1-888-581-2299.
How long do I have to wait to open the project to traffic after installation?
In the case of our thermoplastic products it is a matter of minutes. In the case of our coating products it is a matter of hours for proper curing. The specific amount of hours or minutes depends on factors like temperature and humidity levels.
Can it be done over existing asphalt surfaces, or do I need to replace the asphalt?
If your existing asphalt surface is in good condition (i.e. free of cracks, sealcoat build-up), our products can be applied without the need for asphalt replacement or resurfacing.
Can StreetPrint or Ride-A-Way surface colors be changed after they have been installed?
Yes. Recoloring is quick and inexpensive.
Do I need to apply a sealer over your products?
No. Our products do not need a sealer.
Will the surface color fade?
Our technologies utilize pigments that are specifically designed to be fade resistant. There could be some perceived "color fading" when the decorative asphalt surfaces get dirty or are covered in dust or grime. When this is the case, a surface cleaning will bring back the colors to life. Keep in mind that StreetPrint and Ride-A-Way surfaces can be rejuvenated or changed in color at any time.
What maintenance is required?
Periodic cleaning and removal of foreign contaminants is desirable to reduce wear. With StreetPrint and Ride-A-Way, recoating may eventually be required to maintain a specific look. Our products are unaffected by de-icing salts and the continuous pavement substrate will not support vegetation growth. If at some point, years down the road from the original installation date, there is a desire for a renewed surface, a fresh recoat can be inexpensively applied in most cases.
