Expansion of DURABLE PAVEMENTS
By Garry Perkins

A TREND HAS GROWN RAPIDLY ACROSS THE U.S., with an increasing number of landscape architects, engineers and city planners specifying interlocking pavers. This has come about not only due to the superior durability and lower maintenance of pavers, but also for the broad selections of paver colors and patterns available today.
Pavement projects have expanded from patios and residential walkways to public parks, hotels, shopping malls, amusement parks, pools and even large stadiums, streets and roads. To further ensure the best possible paver installations in these heavy-traffic areas, the use of epoxy modified joint stabilizing protective sealers has become standard. Not only do these single-application sealers enhance and bring the paver colors and patterns to life, but they also offer functional improvements.
