Sealcoating Benefits<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A paved driveway or parking lot is an important investment. And in order to maintain and protect your investment, routine asphalt care is required. One part of routine asphalt maintenance is sealcoating. Sealcoating delivers an attractive, crisp look, and is a critical component to preserving the function and stability of asphalt pavements. Not only does regular sealcoating protect against water penetration, it also protects against sun damage and chemical erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Reasons to Seal Coat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Prevents Water Penetration
\u2022 Protects Against Harmful UV-Rays
\u2022 Resistant to Oil and Chemical Spills
\u2022 Protects Against Premature Cracking and Erosion
\u2022 Enhances Appearance
\u2022 Increase Longevity and Stability<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although sealcoating is the right choice for your asphalt pavement, choosing to sealcoat is only half the process. For the best results, you must also ensure that the sealcoating work is carried out correctly. Improper sealcoating is one of the most common issues behind failing asphalt pavement. And one of the most common mistakes made during the sealcoating process is using too much product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to sealcoat, thicker is never better. In fact, it is a bad idea. You can tell when pavement has excessive layers of sealcoat if it looks like it has no texture at all, and asphalt should always have texture. If it\u2019s too smooth and has no visible dynamic, then the pavement is over-sealed. Not only does too much sealcoat take too long to cure, it doesn\u2019t cure properly, resulting in unevenness and irregularity. It can also lead to surface cracks and track marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
