BlackTop Enduro - Sustainable Paving Stones

BlackTop Enduro™

Introducing BlackTop Enduro™ – a revolutionary paving stone made from recycled asphalt shingles and recycled asphalt pavement. Designed with sustainability and durability in mind, BlackTop Enduro offers a range of benefits that make it the superior choice for your paving needs.

Key Benefits

Exceptional Durability

Expected Lifespan: BlackTop Enduro™ boasts a lifespan of up to 100 years, outlasting traditional road asphalt (20-30 years) and concrete pavers (25-50 years).

Compressive Strength: BlackTop Enduro™ provides robust support, superior to road asphalt.

Tensile Strength: BlackTop Enduro™ excels in tensile strength, outperforming both road asphalt and concrete pavers.

Superior Environmental Impact

Recycled Content: Made from 100% recycled materials, BlackTop Enduro™ blows road asphalt (typically topped at 20% recycled content) and concrete pavers (few offerings with any recycled content whatsoever) out of the water.

Low Carbon Content: BlackTop Enduro™ contributes to a significantly lower carbon footprint, compared to road asphalt and concrete pavers (the production of Portland cement, from which concrete pavers are made, is the third worst greenhouse gas producing industry in the world).

Enhanced Performance

Water Absorption: BlackTop Enduro’s™ low water absorption rate (less than 1%) compares very well against road asphalt (3%) and concrete pavers (5%).

Freeze-Thaw Durability: Because of its low water absorption rate, BlackTop Enduro™ withstands freeze-thaw cycles far better than road asphalt and concrete pavers. This is particularly important in four season climates because freeze-thaw deterioration accounts for the bulk of road surface deterioration in these climates.

Practical Advantages

Equipment Requirements: Easy to install with minimal equipment, or even with no equipment and just a lot of labor, BlackTop Enduro™ compares very well against road asphalt, which requires a lot of heavy equipment and a large crew.

Utility-Access Friendly: BlackTop Enduro™ allows for easy access to utilities, unlike road asphalt. Remove the BlackTop Enduro™, repair the broken water main, repack the subgrade, reset the BlackTop Enduro™.

Ease of Repair: BlackTop Enduro™ is simple to repair, offering a significant advantage over road asphalt.

Cost-Effective Solutions

Affordability: BlackTop Enduro™ provides excellent value for money, its overall installation cost being considerably more affordable than concrete pavers and even slightly more affordable than road asphalt.

Total Cost of Ownership: When considering the entire lifespan of the pavement, BlackTop Enduro’s™ reduced need for repairs and replacement contribute significantly to overall cost savings.

Environmental Impact: In some cases, sustainable options like BlackTop Enduro™ may offer tax incentives or contribute to LEED® certification, providing indirect cost benefits.
