Sealcoating
Sealcoating is like a protective shield for existing asphalt, similar to how sunscreen protects skin from sunburns.
It helps preserve the appearance of the asphalt and prevent further damage from environmental factors like rain and extreme temperatures, instead of fixing existing cracks or damage.
Over time, asphalt can turn gray and dull due to oxidation, but sealcoating helps bring back its original black color, giving it a fresh, newly paved look.
Sealcoating can refurbish asphalt and give it a new, radiant, smooth black appearance while simultaneously providing a protective coating that safeguards against future damage and greatly enhances the lifespan of the asphalt surface.
You can improve the look and durability of your current asphalt surface at a fraction of the price with sealcoating, or simply give it a protective coat that will help it to resist harsh temperatures, weather conditions, and sun exposure over the years.
How is Sealcoating Applied
The sealer is applied either by squeegee or a spray.
Any cracks, depth problems, or surface blemishes are first repaired prior to laying down this coat, as the layers beneath must be perfectly laid up to standard before being finalized by the sealcoat.
The area is then thoroughly cleaned and prepped for the coating process.
Then, an adhesive layer is applied to ensure that the sealcoating adheres to the asphalt layer beneath it.
The sealcoating is then applied by spray for the flat surfaces and squeegee for curbs and non-level surfaces such as curbing.
What is Sealcoating
Sealcoating is an asphalt emulsion mixture that consists of a blend of water and an aggregate to create a textured layer that is easily absorbed and blended with the current asphalt.
The amount of emulsion and seal coating used depends on the state of the current asphalt and if it has ever been sealcoated in the past.
The more damaged or worn the asphalt, the more texturized the mixture will need to be to allow for smooth blending and the like-new appearance that sealcoating is able to achieve.
