Paving Fabrics
Rowles Asphalt offers the optional use of overlay paving fabrics to add additional years to the life of streets, roads, and parking lots. Paving fabric helps to eliminate the most common causes of asphalt pavement failures. The fabric retards reflective cracking in the old pavement from migrating up through the new paving. It also provides a moisture barrier to insure pavement stability by minimizing surface water penetration into the sub-grade.
Rowles Asphalt uses a sub-base type geo-textile fabric designed for use under a stone base when the sub-base or ground is weak or unstable which can cause the existing pavement to sink or form wheel indentations from parked vehicle tires.
