Durable, Eco-Friendly, and Cost-Effective Paving Solution
Asphalt millings, also known as recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), are an increasingly popular choice for both commercial and residential paving projects. Made from reclaimed asphalt, millings offer a sustainable and budget-friendly alternative to traditional asphalt, providing many of the same benefits without the higher cost.
Commercial or Residential Applications
Asphalt millings are versatile and can be used for various paving needs. For commercial projects, they are ideal for parking lots, roadways, and driveways, providing a durable surface that can withstand heavy traffic. Residential applications include driveways, pathways, and even small private roads, where homeowners seek an affordable yet reliable paving solution.
Recycled Asphalt Pavement
One of the key advantages of asphalt millings is their eco-friendliness. Since they are made from recycled asphalt, millings help reduce the need for new materials and minimize environmental impact. By reusing existing asphalt, we can conserve natural resources and reduce waste, making millings a sustainable option for your paving project.
Low-Cost Substitute
Asphalt millings offer a significant cost-saving advantage over traditional asphalt. They are a low-cost substitute that doesn’t compromise on quality or performance. The material binds together over time, especially when compacted, creating a stable and solid surface that is resistant to erosion, weathering, and wear.
Why Choose Asphalt Millings?
- Affordability: Asphalt millings are a budget-friendly option for those looking to pave large areas without the high costs associated with new asphalt.
- Durability: When properly installed and compacted, millings form a durable surface that can last for many years with minimal maintenance.
- Eco-Friendly: Utilizing recycled asphalt supports environmental sustainability by reducing the demand for new materials and minimizing waste.
Asphalt millings provide a cost-effective, eco-friendly paving solution suitable for both commercial and residential applications. Contact us today to learn more about how asphalt millings can benefit your next project!
Asphalt millings are typically spread over the desired area and then compacted using a roller. The compaction process helps the millings bind together, creating a solid, stable surface. The installation process is faster and less labor-intensive than traditional asphalt paving.
While asphalt millings require less maintenance than traditional asphalt, it’s still a good idea to keep the surface free of debris and occasionally re-compact it to maintain its integrity. Regular inspection for any loose areas and minor repairs can extend the lifespan of your milled surface.
Asphalt millings perform well in various weather conditions. However, they are particularly effective in warmer climates where the sun can help further bind the millings together. In colder climates, the surface may require additional compaction to ensure durability.
With proper installation and occasional maintenance, asphalt millings can last up to 20 years. The longevity depends on factors like usage, climate, and the initial quality of the installation.
