Urban Heat Islands aren't just a weather report; they are a public health and infrastructure challenge. Traditional asphalt absorbs up to 90% of solar energy, turning our streets into "urban ovens."
In 2022, TIME recognized StreetBond (specifically the Invisible Shade™ technology now found in DuraShield) for its ability to reflect solar energy and drop surface temperatures by up to 6.7°C).
We’ve been advocating for these reflective systems since our early days at MPS Paving. Now, as we approach the 2032 Olympics, this "Best Invention" should be a "Best Practice" for Architects , Specifiers and Tier-1 contractors
Don't just build for today, build for a cooler, more sustainable 2032.
