The Power of Sealcoat
Seal coating and crack sealing are two practices that will help keep asphalt surfaces looking fresh and maintained. Weather conditions and traffic volume dramatically impact surfaces without sealcoating and could require repairs as early as the 3rd or 4th year after its initial placement. Asphalt is a petroleum based product and will react with other petroleum products. When vehicles leak oil and gasoline onto the surface they react with the asphalt to create cracks and potholes. This combined with weather conditions and traffic leave surfaces uneven and crude. Seal coating acts as the shield to protect the investment you’ve made in your parking lot and business establishment. The sealcoating is created with many different materials, which combine to save you money.
Crack sealing is another important step to ensuring the longevity of asphalt. It is actually the first step before seal coating is applied and if it is not applied, it weakens the effect of seal coating. Seal coating and crack sealing can save you money as well as give you a lot without the danger zones or eyesores of poorly laid asphalt. Stripe-A-Zone experts can evaluate your surface and educate you on the best practices to seal coat, crack seal and repair your existing lot.
Sealcoating is a complex process that requires experts. Not only does the parking lot need to be totally clear of any debris, but the surface temperature must be maintained. Weather is also an important factor, as monitoring weather both prior to applying the sealcoat and after are vital to determining a schedule. The mixing of substances that makes up sealcoating is a delicate process, even slightly miscalculating the proportions of each substance would result in the entire project being wasted.
