WHY
IS
CONCRETE THE PREFERRED MATERIAL FOR SIDEWALKS, DRIVEWAYS, ROADS AND
PARKING LOTS?
1.Concrete is strong, stable and easy to
maintain. When properly installed it will last for decades.
Unlike paver blocks it is much less likely to settle.
2. It is an environmentally friendly material. Because it is
light in color it is cooler and contributes much less to global
warming than asphalt. Unlike asphalt it does not discharge
volatile organic chemicals because of the radiation of sunlight
or the solvent quality of storm water.
3. It lends itself to artistic interpretations at much less cost
than other materials. It can be colored or dyed, stamped and
shaped and can be coated if beneficial. |

Safety.
When properly installed and maintained it provides strong support for foot
traffic, bicycles and vehicles. At night it reflects light better than other
surfaces requiring less artificial light. Fewer
streetlights mean less energy cost.
