Concrete Parking Lots An Investment that Pays in the Short Term
Concrete parking areas pay for themselves in the short term, then deliver long-term savings compared to asphalt.
· Normal maintenance costs of asphalt pavements– sealing, re-striping, resurfacing, and loss of business during maintenance operations– greatly exceed those needed for concrete. Click here for a real-world example of the penalty associated with asphalt maintenance downtime.
· Concrete increases curb appeal for customers and tenants, boosting rental
values and revenue.
· Concrete parking areas may include an integral curb and gutter, saving time and reducing subcontract labor.
· Concrete parking lots stay cooler to reduce energy costs.
· Concrete’s brighter reflectivity can lower infrastructure and ongoing lighting costs, while boosting safety for vehicles and pedestrians. Comparative research by the Portland Cement Association demonstrated that concrete parking areas require fewer lighting elements than other surfaces and can yield energy savings up to 60 percent.
