Why do we propose 5 inch tall curbs and shorter curbs over 6 inch tall curbs?

They’re actually stronger than taller curbs.
The extruded curbs that everyone uses today were designed back in the late 1960’s. The typical car back then had 18 – 20 inch tires. Today a 1 full size ton Chevy van uses 16 inch tires and a Prius even smaller still. That means that using a 1968 design – 6 inch tall extruded curb design puts all vehicular impact on the sides, not the top down as they did 40+ years ago. Simply: Any 6 inch tall curb is more likely to break from impact than a shorter one.

Steel in extruded curbs

Extruded curbs get their strength from how well they’re bonded to the surface. Nothing else. Bonded properly, an extruded curb should rip up the substrate it’s attached to if it ever fails.

It’s counter intuitive I know, but it’s what we’ve built our business on; Our curbs don’t break.

The formula for the best bonding agent for extruded curbs (placed on asphalt) is: 1 empty 5 gallon bucket. Add 2+ gallons of water. Mix with drill mixing bit. Add Portland cement in until material is evenly mixed and about the consistency of paint, add 8 – 12 ounces of Diamonite admixture, (www.diamonite.co) continue mixing until all components are evenly distributed. Apply with synthetic house broom as if it were paint enough such that when curb is placed over top of same, a nearly indiscernible amount squeezes out of each side…finish curb with appropriate trowel…rinse, repeat. Works every time.

The only exception to the above; when extruded curbs are installed on top of concrete. Only at that time is a a two part epoxy a better design standard.

In summation: Shorter is better than taller, it uses less material so it’s better for the environment meaning fewer trips to pick up, less CO2 etc. and, it will last longer using the most basic physics. No steel is always better than any steel and…. the best bonding agent isn’t some high tech chemical concoction, rather, the simple formula shown above, and it’s still today, the best bonding agent out there (and the only one we’ll warranty).
