Rubber Paving

Exploring the Advantages

At GlossWorks Concrete Polishing, we are proud to offer Rubber Paving, a unique and versatile flooring solution that combines natural beauty with functionality.

Rubber Pour in Place Paving is just that, chunks of rubber that are combined with a urethane binder, poured onto a surface, spread out and compacted to create a paved surface.

This creates a durable, safer and attractive surface.
Whether it be a driveway, sidewalk, patio, stairs, deck, or any other outdoor surface, your first thought may be to rip out and replace the old concrete with new concrete, but resurfacing with rubber paving is a great alternative.

Comfort and Durability

Rubber paving is relatively new in the market compared to other paving options. This concrete repair has grown in popularity across North America over the last 25 years.

Rubber Paving has many benefits, including durability, cost, easy and fast installation, maintenance, customization, and safety. Rubber paving is a great paving material for any home or commercial application.

Weather and Damage Resistance

Rubber paving has lots of benefits. It’s a super durable material as it is made from recycled truck tires and an industrial urethane binder and it will withstand all weather conditions and wear that it faces.

Protecting the Environment

Is becoming a very important factor in all of our lives. Rubber paving is made out of rubber tires that have been shredded into rubber crumb. Installing this kind of paving instead of concrete actually provides you and your customer the opportunity to help the environment by keeping the wasted rubber and old concrete out of a landfill.

Helping the planet may not be on your mind when installing new pavement, but using recycled materials in rubber paving can contribute to saving the environment. You may not think it’s much, but the reality is, you’d be contributing to the lessening of waste in landfills and also by not using more concrete you are limiting the amount of CO2 as concrete is a huge CO2 emitter, in fact it is responsible for 5% of global CO2 emissions.
A typical rubber paved 1000 sq ft driveway utilizes about 150 truck tires!!

Great for Prairie Winters!

Canada sees all types of extreme weather and this can play havoc with both exterior substrates and protective coatings. When resurfacing a driveway, sidewalks, patios, or any other outdoor surface, you want a material that’s long-lasting, and rubber paving is the best option. Rubber paving is very flexible and the material is made to expand and contract easily with the change of weather, that way it won’t crack or show other damages.

Shovels and snow blowers do not leave scrape marks on the material. Snow and ice can build up on the rubber pavement but because it does not adhere well to the urethane it is easily removed. Fresh snow can be blown off with just a leaf blower.
If you need to use salt you can and the melted ice will dissipate, leaving your surfaces unharmed. Concrete, on the other hand, will start to crack and spall over time from the salt with freezing and thawing. The added benefit of a mostly black surface is that the sun melts snow and ice quicker, thereby helping clear the surface.

Rubber is a flexible material that is meant to move with the change of the weather, but concrete is rigid which is why it cracks. Your customer will want something more breathable to hold its form through the change of the seasons, and rubber paving will do that.

Last but not least, walking on a rubber paved surface in the extreme cold of winter is very safe due to its texture it is slip resistant.
