FAQ for Powercoat Canada Rubber Paving

Rubber paving will last 20-25 years with proper maintenance.

Regular cleaning with a pressure washer and re-sealing every 5-8 years.

If the underlying concrete continues to crack, the rubber paving would only reflect very large cracks or extreme movement as the rubber is designed to move with the substrate. While rubber paving can bridge minor cracks, significant structural issues should be repaired before application to ensure the longevity of the surface.

Rubber paving can help to prevent surface-level cracking due to its flexible nature, but it will not stop underlying structural cracks from developing. Proper preparation and repair of the base are essential to minimize cracking.

Rubber paving provides a smooth surface that is easy to shovel or snowblow.

The textured surface of rubber paving can trap some dirt and debris. Regularly using a backpack blower or a leaf blower works best to keep it clean. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild detergent and a soft brush or a pressure washer.

Rubber paving can be applied up to several inches thick if necessary. The typical application thickness ranges from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, but thicker applications can be used for specific requirements.
