What is DuraTherm™?
DuraTherm™ is a decorative asphalt surfacing system designed specifically for high-traffic crosswalks. Its thermoplastic material is inlaid into imprinted asphalt and installed flush with the surface, making it highly resistant to wear from traffic. Unlike traditional street print methods, DuraTherm™ pavement integrates seamlessly with asphalt, ensuring exceptional durability. The result is a bold, eye catching patterned asphalt surface that withstands heavy use while enhancing pedestrian safety and urban appeal.
How to install DuraTherm™
Installations are performed by Licensed DuraTherm™ Applicators, trained and certified for this specialised technology. The process ensures asphalt stamps are integrated into the pavement, preventing peeling, cracking, or premature wear.
Heating the Asphalt – A specialised pavement heater softens the asphalt to prepare for stamping.
Imprinting the Pattern – A template is pressed into the softened asphalt, creating an asphalt stamping effect.
Inlaying DuraTherm™ – Pre-cut DuraTherm™ sections are placed into the imprinted asphalt.
Fusing the Material – The pavement heater is applied again to bond the DuraTherm™ material seamlessly with the asphalt.
Final Finishing – The surface is smoothed and left to set, resulting in a flush, long-lasting DuraTherm™ pavement.
Why DuraTherm™?
Unmatched Durability –DuraTherm™ pavement lasts at least three times longer than standard thermoplastic applications.
Minimal Traffic Disruption – Installations are completed in under 90 minutes per lane, reducing community impact.
Skid-Resistant & Safe – The material maintains a smooth, slip-resistant surface, equal to surrounding asphalt.
Highly Visible & Reflective – Vibrant colours and bold patterns improve pedestrian and driver safety.
Customisable Designs – Communities can create unique visual identities with tailored graphics and colour schemes.
Quiet & Vibration-Free – Unlike traditional paving, DuraTherm™ reduces vehicle vibrations and noise pollution.
In addition to performance, StreetStrong’s DuraTherm™ aligns with sustainability goals. The inlaid design prevents material degradation, reducing maintenance and resource consumption. Additionally, its longevity minimises environmental waste from frequent resurfacing. Cities and municipalities seeking eco-friendly, patterned asphalt solutions recognise DuraTherm™ as a sustainable investment.
Where to Apply DuraTherm™?
DuraTherm™ pavement is ideal for:
Crosswalks, Parking Lots, Medians & Roundabouts, Pedestrian Areas & Streetscapes, Bike Lanes & Bus Lanes, School Zones & Safety Areas.
For cities and municipalities looking for a reliable, long-lasting asphalt stamping solution, StreetStrong’s DuraTherm™ pavement is the ultimate choice. Its combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability makes it a superior alternative to traditional street print methods.
Traffic calming refers to the use of street design strategies and physical measures that slow vehicle speeds and make roads safer for everyone. It is most often applied in residential streets, school zones, and high pedestrian areas, where the interaction between vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians is at its highest.
StreetStrong were recently engaged to enhance the streetscape at the new Shepherd Street Building, part of the University of Sydney’s Engineering expansion, with contractors O’Landscape Architect and Buildcorp. Designed to accommodate cutting-edge learning and research facilities, the precinct is a key element in reshaping the educational experience for students and academics alike.
In a bold move toward safer, smarter, and more sustainable streetscapes, StreetStrong proudly introduces LuminoKrom by StreetStrong. Australia’s first photoluminescent road marking solution. This cutting-edge technology is a game changer in the world of decorative asphalt, line marking, and traffic safety—illuminating paths, cycleways, and pedestrian zones without electricity, emissions, or maintenance.
