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.
