Installation date photo above of February 2005 with updated photos taken March 6, 2008 to clearly show the wear performance of properly designed and installed Streetprint products in heavy traffic conditions to be superior to all the like alternatives currently on the market. Some things to consider when examining the photos:
# 1- Structural Integrity: The lane at the bottom is a dedicated turn lane thus the coated surface is constantly under tremendous stress and yet after 3 years is totally intact with no failure at all of the printed pattern or asphalt showing through the coating.
# 2- Color stability: Even though the strong UV effects of the South Florida climate have turned the new asphalt from jet black to ash grey, the color of the crosswalks has remained intact and still match the color of the concrete sidewalks as the city requested 3 years ago.
# 3 – Long term value: The cost to revitalize the crosswalks is kept at a minimum due to the nature of the Streetprint System that uses the asphalt surface as the canvas to create the decorative pattern using Patented Infrared Heating Equipment. When done in this manner (properly designed and applied) Streetprint Textured Asphalt will only require color recoats as traffic volume dictates.
# 4 – Stain Resistance: Notice the lack of oil spots and stains on the crosswalks even after 3 years of heavy traffic. This is due to the surface being sealed with the coating thus not allowing the build up of oil and fluids to penetrate into the asphalt. This is a unique attribute of Streetprint Coatings.
