Usually, pedestrians traveling through crosswalks or sidewalks depend upon the signage and markings along the road to guide them and direct them towards the correct direction. Typically, only a glance at these markings is enough to guide us along the path. If these markings and signs are not appropriate or incur some wear and tear, it can be risky for the pedestrian. Also, if the experts do not overlay crosswalks with some form of a decorative concrete surface, then the overall dull grey look becomes too weary to walk on. With this philosophy in mind, the City of Las Vegas embraced new-age concrete overlay technologies. They used thermoplastic with a brick pattern on a crosswalk. The application of Endurablend removed the issue with bonding and premature wear and tear.
The problem
Due to the conditions of the street and crosswalk, the markings wore off quickly from the concrete or asphalt surfaces. The existing materials used in the concrete overlay was not aesthetically pleasing. These materials couldn’t hold together the bonding on the crosswalk, which led to premature wear and tear. This issue led to pedestrians facing problems when walking. Additionally, the visual appeal associated with the crosswalk too was damaged. As an outcome, the crosswalk looked jaded and worn out.
The Solution
The vital solution for this is that material used to paint the road markings must combine well with the concrete and asphalt. Endurablend is one such product that will help the markings to stay along the road very well. The ultra-thin polymer works well to offer an added layer of protection and decorative overlay. It not only improves the performance of the crosswalk and sidewalk but also lends a luxurious look. This advantage is a far departure from the dull grey look that one is accustomed to when walking on such public surfaces. As it is long-lasting, there will be no need for marking the pavements and roads again and again. It offers a coat of decorative concrete over the layer so that even rough climatic conditions cannot rupture it. Be it de-icing materials or salts, the surface remains undamaged from most of the spills. Endurablend gives you a durable and long-lasting colored surface treatment for both roadway and off-roadway applications.
Conclusion
These were some of the key benefits derived by the City of Las Vegas by going with Endurablend – a truly new age decorative surface treatment.
