Want To Extend the Lifespan of Your Asphalt Pavement? Try Sealcoating

Did you know you can restore your drab and faded asphalt pavement to a glistening, almost new appearance? Well, the magic is in seal coating.

What is seal coating?

This is the application of a thin layer of asphalt liquid to an asphalt paved surface. This layer protects the paved surfaces from elements such as oils, UV, and water damage.

Note: seal coating prevents damage but doesn’t cure already existing damages such as cracks and potholes.

If done properly, seal coating provides a deep black finish that is beautiful and skid-resistant.

In addition, scheduling seal coating regularly will not just beautify your driveways or parking lots; it will also add to its life expectancy, saving you a significant amount of money down the line.

Meaning you won’t need to repave for a long time if you keep to regular seal coating. By regular sealcoating, we mean a two to three years range.

Considerations when sealcoating

To extend the life of your asphalt pavement and for optimum performance, consider the following factors when sealcoating:

  • Stick to the recommended temperature of at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit, do not apply when temperatures are below 50 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Do not apply when it’s about to rain within the same 24-hour period
  • Apply a minimum of two coats; application can be made by spraying, or squeegee
  • Once you’ve seal coated, let the surface cure for at least 24 hours before any vehicle drives on the surface
  • And before you sealcoat, clear any dirt and debris present on the pavement.

For best results, hire an asphalt paving contractor to help you with sealcoating your pavements.
