Parking Curbs For Sale

It is always encouraging to learn of another area where using recycled materials is helping to keep the planet green. The garage parking block goes by many names but is possibly most familiar to everyone as the parking curbstone, or the affixed wheel chocks found in commercial parking lots. Those “concrete parking things” are being replaced by the recycled rubber parking lot blocks that are currently revolutionizing the construction and maintenance of today’s parking lots.

How to use Wheel Stops

A garage parking block is designed to help align vehicles as they are being pulled into parking spaces as well as indicate when the vehicle has reached the limit of the parking space. This helps to reduce the risk of parking lot accidents by preventing vehicles from pulling too far forward. Another purpose of parking curb stones is to identify handicapped parking.

Styles of Wheel Stops

A parking block store can now provide alternative choices to those concrete parking blocks with an array of garage stop blocks in a choice of sizes and colors. Available in safety yellow, handicap blue and white, gray, or terracotta brown architectural stones, these recycled plastic parking blocks offer different styles for specific purposes.

• Commercial Blocks – are 6-foot long injection molded blocks ideal for the most common use parking lots, accommodating cars, vans, and light trucks.
• Industrial Blocks – come in 4-foot and 6-foot lengths of solid extruded durable blocks that are uniquely protected with a life-time replacement warranty.
• Architectural Blocks – for aesthetic appeal and the easiest way to provide an upscale look overnight. Fashioned in 100 percent recycled and dyed rubber, the Terracotta brown has reflective white tape that increases visibility, day and night.

There are tremendous advantages with recycled parking blocks over their concrete counterparts. For one thing, they will not crumble and break down from the rusted out spikes that can easily deteriorate the concrete. A single rubber parking block weighs only a third of what concrete blocks weigh, which makes installation achievable by one person in lieu of the need for many to accommodate moving the blocks.

The color of the rubber blocks is UV-stable and molded into the entire piece when it is manufactured instead of simply being coated. They are also resistant to corrosive elements such as salt or other chemicals. Being made of rubber, these garage stop blocks have the benefit of their material causing them to naturally conform to laying as flat on paved ground as they will on a gravel surface.

The parking block store provides three different mounting kits from which to choose, and all are offered for the same low cost.

• 12-inch and 18-inch galvanized steel spikes that work in gravel or on asphalt
• 8-inch lag bolts with anchors for hard surfaces that are 3 or more inches thick
• 5-inch Red Head Large Diameter “TapCons”, or LDTs specifically used for concrete

These 100% recycled rubber garage stop blocks make parking lots more attractive, much safer, and easier to maintain at far fewer costs. The parking block store offers free quotes and customer service at the ready to answer any questions.
