🔥 Florida Heat vs. Asphalt: What You Need to Know ☀️
When summer temperatures soar, your asphalt takes the hit:
🚗 Softening & Rutting – Surface temps can exceed 140°F, making asphalt pliable and prone to dents from heavy traffic.
🌞 Oxidation & Fading – UV rays break down the binder, causing brittleness and that faded gray look.
⚡ Cracking – Daily heat expansion and cool-night contraction lead to stress cracks that widen fast.
🪨 Raveling – A weakened binder lets gravel loosen, creating rough, crumbling textures.
👣 Tracking – On extreme days, sticky binder can attach to tires and shoes, spreading messes everywhere.
Protect your pavement with regular maintenance and sealcoating to keep it smooth, strong, and safe year-round!
