ARMI vs Paving Fabrics

Paving fabrics are a common option however they introduce third party contractors that compromise QC. Long term performance is questionable. Having a RCRI that is producer made with local materials including Aramid and paver laid makes for highly improved results. One inch flexible reinforced asphalt to manage bottom up reflective cracking is optimal. ARMI can also lay over concrete.
