Driveways are exposed to the sun’s UV rays all day, every day. These damaging rays can lead to premature cracking and fading on your asphalt driveway and can even cause a fire by damaging the electrical wiring in your home. The good news is that these problems are avoidable with a driveway grid system.
Since the sun is at an angle when it shines onto a driveway, UV rays have to penetrate more deeply into the surface to cause damage. With a grid system, you’ll be able to put down another layer of surface material that will block those harmful rays from reaching your driveway. This will help protect you from chalking and cracking, as well as reduce or eliminate fading over time.
In addition, driveway grids can make it easier to spot any potential hazards, such as tree roots that may have grown too close to the edge of the pavement over time. We recommend installing driveway grids if you do not currently have them installed.
