Benefits of Installing Concrete Parking Lots

Concrete is one of the most popular construction materials. Concrete contractors like ourselves use it to build various concrete surfaces, such as driveways, sidewalks, and garages. But why is concrete such an excellent material for parking lots? These are some of the reasons:

Durability and Longevity

There is no doubt that concrete is a robust material. Given proper care and maintenance, it can last for decades. Concrete resists weather changes and extreme heat. It can withstand constant wear and tear better than any other parking lot material.

Flexibility

Another good quality that makes concrete a popular choice is its versatility. With concrete, you can do various designs and styles. You can also experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures. Stamped concrete or decorative concrete are methods used to achieve a customized parking lot look.

Economical

The initial cost of putting up concrete parking lots can be slightly more expensive than building asphalt pavements. With its positive qualities, concrete can decrease operating costs and save you more money in the long run. Because it is durable and low maintenance, it helps reduce renovation and annual maintenance costs. Concrete is also non-combustible and moisture resistant, which reduces insurance costs.

Eco-Friendly

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is more energy efficient. It's easy to build and use, and is easy to maintain. In addition, concrete parking areas reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions because of their rigor. Concrete's lighter color makes it easier for light to reflect off of it. As a result, parking lots require fewer lights. 

Concrete Parking Lots vs. Asphalt Parking Lots

Concrete and asphalt are very common materials used to construct parking lots. You can use them both for either residential or commercial parking. Understanding the difference between these two materials is essential for property owners like you. By knowing the benefits and downsides of every material, you will be able to make a better decision.

Concrete Parking Area

Advantages:

• A concrete lot is durable and has a long lifespan.
• Concrete pavements have a higher load-carrying capacity.
• Parking lots made of concrete are more resistant to natural elements. They can withstand harsh weather and extreme heat.
• Like any other concrete slab, concrete parking is easy to maintain and has a low maintenance cost.
• Concrete is more energy efficient.
• Customization is possible through concrete stamping or decorative concrete.

Disadvantages:

• The initial construction cost is a little more expensive.
• Frost heaves can cause uneven surfaces on concrete parking lots.
• Concrete requires a longer curing process.
• Concrete is not permeable. It requires a proper drainage plan.

Asphalt Parking Lot

Advantages:

• An asphalt lot is quick and easy to install.
• Like concrete, asphalt is recyclable. It doesn't harm the environment as well.
• Asphalt is cold-resistant. Thus, making it an ideal choice if you live in areas with lower temperatures.
• Compared to concrete, asphalt has a cheaper installation cost.
• Asphalt is easier to repair than concrete.

Disadvantages:

• Asphalt parking areas require preventive maintenance.
• Asphalt parking lots require annual cleaning to get the most of their life and appearance.
• The cool temperature of the material makes it great, but high temperatures cause it to shrink, expand, and build an oily film.
• Asphalt surfaces have a shorter lifespan.
• The asphalt surface is softer and more permeable.
• A gasoline leak or stain can easily damage it.
