Asphalt is one of the most common coatings for road and parking surfaces around. This interesting and useful material is sometimes called asphalt paving, blacktop or asphalt concrete and is a composite material made from mixed bitumen and an aggregate such as gravel. When compared to concrete it is much easier and cost effective to install and repair times are often quicker and cheaper as well. One small problem with asphalt paving is the degradation it experiences over time. Unlike concrete which is a harder material, asphalt breaks down on the surface. This damage can come from excessive traffic, loose or water logged bedding under the pavement or a poor quality asphalt installation.
