Benefits Of Sealcoating

Slows oxidation
Asphalt is made up of binder, oils, rock, stone, and gravel. The binder holds these components together. When new asphalt is laid it is normal for oils to oxidize out which will make the pavement stronger. Experts suggest sealing your asphalt parking lot 90 days after the asphalt is laid to slow down the oxidation. After the first application of sealer, it is then suggested to seal your asphalt every 2-3 years after that. There are many things that contribute to oxidation: sunlight, rain, air, and chemicals being the most common.

Improves appearance
Your parking lot is the welcome mat to your business. After years of exposure to sunlight and the elements asphalt will gradually become a dull grey color. Applying a fresh coat of sealer will bring your asphalt back to its jet-black finish from when it was initially paved. Asphalt sealing is also a great solution for homeowners who are looking to boost the curb appeal of their home.

The matt black finish will make your driveway look as good as new. If you’re looking to list any type of property for sale a fresh coat of asphalt sealer will also help to increase your property value and increase Equity.
