Decorative coatings
Colour that holds under buses, bikes and BC winters.
Overview
What it is, and why it works
Decorative coatings are the workhorse of modern urban infrastructure. The StreetBond system provides colour, contrast and critical safety features to high-traffic surfaces. Whether it's a spray park in Burnaby, a public art plaza at Langley Events Centre or a decorative fire lane in North Vancouver, StreetBond coatings are designed to perform in harsh climates, resist UV fading and integrate seamlessly with surrounding pavement.

Questions
What people ask about decorative coatings
Short answers, in the same words the page already uses. For the specification itself, the documents are in the library.
How long does a StreetBond coating last?
HUB publishes an 8+ year life cycle for StreetBond, and a worn surface is recoated rather than rebuilt.
Is a coloured coating slippery when wet?
No — StreetBond carries an anti-skid aggregate for wet conditions, which is why it is specified for bike lanes, transit lanes and spray parks.
Does it work on concrete as well as asphalt?
Yes. StreetBond bonds to asphalt and to concrete, with the appropriate primer for each.
