Asphalt sealing is a protective coating applied to driveways and parking lots to help extend the life of the asphalt surface. Newly installed asphalt should not be seal coated for at least one year, as it needs time to properly set and cure.
Seal coating helps preserve the strength and appearance of asphalt by sealing small cracks, patches, and rough areas while also improving the visibility of traffic and parking lines. It also provides protection against damage caused by the sun and by common chemical spills such as oil and gasoline, which are often found on driveways and parking lots.
By filling surface voids, seal coating reduces exposure to oxygen and harmful UV rays, while also limiting how deeply oil and gas can penetrate the asphalt.
Because asphalt prices are closely tied to fluctuating crude oil costs, seal coating offers a cost-effective way to protect your investment. For just pennies per square foot, seal coating can help prevent the need for much more expensive asphalt repairs down the road.
