What an Asphalt Fabric Overlay Involves

A paving fabric is rolled out over the existing cracked surface and saturated with a tack coat. A new asphalt overlay is then placed directly on top.

The fabric acts as a waterproofing membrane between the old and new layers, not just a crack blocker.

Why Add Fabric Before an Overlay

  • Blocks reflective cracking from telegraphing through the new surface
  • Creates a moisture barrier that keeps water out of the base
  • Extends the life of an overlay compared to asphalt alone
  • Costs less than full removal and replacement

Not Sure You Need the Fabric Layer?

Fabric adds the most value on surfaces with widespread cracking. If your pavement is in better shape, a standard overlay may be all you need.

See our Asphalt Overlay page to compare both options.
