Non-Woven Asphalt Overlay Fabrics
An asphalt overlay using paving fabric over existing pavement is recommended as a cost-saving surface treatment for deteriorating asphalt. Reflective cracking is one of the most significant factors in pavement deterioration. Stress-relieving interlayer paving fabrics help to slow the spread of existing cracks into the new asphalt overlay.
Long-term field evaluations have shown that the proper use of paving fabrics in asphalt overlays of flexible pavements increased pavement life by up to 50 percent. Therefore, using non-woven fabrics in asphalt overlay projects will reduce maintenance costs and allow for improved effectiveness of your pavement system. Since studies state that paving fabrics provide the performance equivalency of 30mm (1.2 in) of asphaltic concrete thickness, our geotextiles are the most economical interlayer options.
PavePrep Pavement Reinforcing Fabric
PavePrep Pavement Reinforcing Fabric is a highly effective stress relief interlayer material consisting of high-density mastic between two layers of rugged polyester fabric. Installed in strips over cracked, spalled concrete or asphalt, PavePrep intercepts and reduces the stresses induced by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby reducing the tendency of crack reflecting through the overlay. PavePrep also prevents moisture interpenetration which can contribute to further structural decay of the surface and underlying pavement.
Tensar GlasPave™ 25 Waterproofing Paving Mat
GlasPave™ 25 is a reinforced paving mat that creates a strong, effective, moisture-resistant membrane at a fraction of the cost of other, more expensive combination grids. It is ideal for parking areas, low- and high-volume roads, and airport runways and aprons.
It is a geosynthetic material made from high-tensile, high-modulus fiberglass yarns that reduce the potential for thermal and stress-related cracks reflecting through to the surface of a new asphalt overlay. Every component of the matrix fabric is inert to chemicals normally found in natural soil and paving environments.
Crafco Geotac Waterproofing Membrane
Designed specifically to be used as a moisture barrier. It prevents water permeation or penetration through pavement surfaces and subsequent damage that moisture can cause.
Tensar GlasPave™ 50 Waterproofing Paving Mat
GlasPave™ 50 is a reinforced paving mat that creates a strong, effective, moisture-resistant membrane at a fraction of the cost of other, more expensive combination grids. It is ideal for parking areas, low- and high-volume roads, and airport runways and aprons. It is a geosynthetic material made from high-tensile, high-modulus fiberglass yarns that reduce the potential for thermal and stress-related cracks reflecting through to the surface of a new asphalt overlay. Every component of the matrix fabric is inert to chemicals normally found in natural soil and paving environments.
