An overview of HUB Surface Systems' decorative asphalt crosswalks: preformed thermoplastic, stamped asphalt and pavement coatings, designed for safety and durability.

Decorative asphalt crosswalks and other hardscapes

Safety remains paramount, but crosswalks and decorative hardscapes can also be colourful and fun.

The increasing popularity of colourful, and artfully designed decorative asphalt crosswalks and hardscapes, is exercising the creativity of municipalities, BIA's and commercial developers across Canada.

HUB products for decorative asphalt or concrete crosswalks and other hardscape treatments look good, last longer than other decorative paving methods, and add to the safety of pedestrians and drivers.

HUB Surface Systems provides decorative paving products including stamped asphalt, pavement coatings, and preformed thermoplastic treatments. The result is a durable, decorative hardscape surface that suits a wide range of jobs at a lower cost, with fewer maintenance issues than most alternatives.

TrafficPatternsXD, preformed thermoplastic stamped into asphalt

TrafficPatternsXD is used all over Canada as a decorative stamped asphalt surface treatment for decorative asphalt crosswalks, hardscapes, streetscapes, and pedestrian areas.

With TrafficPatternsXD you can create designs in virtually any pattern or colour. The preformed thermoplastic is heated and stamped into the asphalt, where it bonds. It is the most durable of HUB's decorative options, with a bold look.

TrafficPatternsXD is low maintenance, holds up in extreme weather conditions, and is the most durable decorative paving product, suited to roadways and commercial parking lots.

TrafficPatterns, applied to asphalt or concrete without stamping

Similar to the XD line, TrafficPatterns can be applied to both asphalt and concrete hardscapes, and is typically used for streetscape designs. This product is for projects that require detailed artistic and architectural designs without the stamping. TrafficPatterns provides custom design flexible options including logos and other illustrative elements. Heat-applied, it bonds to asphalt or concrete for a long-lasting, attractive surface.

StreetPrint stamped asphalt with StreetBond

The combination of StreetPrint and StreetBond is the most cost-effective option, resulting in attractive, long lasting, decorative paving treatments. The StreetPrint stamped asphalt application process involves heating asphalt and stamping the desired pattern using specialized templates, followed by the application of StreetBond, a pavement coating system that bonds to both stamped asphalt and stamped concrete surfaces. StreetBond is available in a wide range of standard and custom colours used to create bold, aesthetically pleasing decorative surfaces. StreetBond also extends the life of the asphalt pavement surface by protecting it from UV and water damage.

DuraTherm, preformed thermoplastic inlaid in stamped asphalt

DuraTherm is a decorative system of preformed thermoplastic inlaid in stamped asphalt, set into the pavement surface. The process of inlaying DuraTherm by way of asphalt stamping means the material takes no high-point wear, so the inset designs last for many years. DuraTherm is an excellent choice for decorative asphalt crosswalks, streetscapes, commercial applications, and parking lots.
