Why Seal Coat?

Protection from UV Rays:

Sealcoating acts as a barrier against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, preventing oxidation and minimizing the impact of sunlight on the asphalt surface. This helps to maintain the color and flexibility of the asphalt.

Prevention of Water Damage:

Sealcoating provides a waterproof barrier that helps to prevent water penetration into the asphalt. Water is a major contributor to the deterioration of asphalt, causing cracks, potholes, and other structural damage. By sealing the surface, you reduce the risk of water-related issues.

Resistant to Oil and Chemicals:

Sealcoating creates a protective layer that resists the penetration of oil, gasoline, and other automotive fluids. This is particularly important in parking lots where vehicles may leak fluids that can otherwise cause deterioration of the asphalt.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal:

Sealcoating gives the asphalt a dark, rich appearance, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. This can contribute to a well-maintained and professional look for properties like commercial establishments and residential homes.

Increased Lifespan:

Regular sealcoating can extend the life of an asphalt surface by protecting it from various environmental factors, reducing the frequency of repairs, and minimizing the development of cracks and potholes.

Ease of Maintenance:

Sealcoating makes the surface smoother and easier to clean. It helps prevent dirt and debris from embedding into the asphalt, making routine maintenance such as sweeping and cleaning more efficient.

Cost-Effective:

Investing in sealcoating is a cost-effective preventive measure. The upfront cost of sealcoating is typically much lower than the cost of major asphalt repairs or replacement. It can help avoid expensive repairs in the long run.

Quick Drying Time:

Sealcoating dries relatively quickly, allowing for minimal disruption to traffic or access to the paved area. This quick drying time is advantageous for businesses and property owners who want to minimize downtime.
