Seal coating is a process of applying liquid products onto existing paving. It will ensure the surface applied is sealed and small cracks and voids are filled. It acts as a form of protection against external elements. If the asphalt is left unsealed, external factors can cause it to oxidize and harden. This makes it more brittle, making it subject to cracking; this article will highlight more information on asphalt driveway sealcoating.

There are various coating materials, but we use the same method of cleaning, patching and sealing the area. The liquid sealer we use will form an impenetrable barrier once it dries out. With the sealant in place, the blacktop below is protected from external elements that can harden and degrade the area, which in turn causes cracks.

There are two types of sealants used for this purpose: asphalt emulsion coating and coal tar sealer. Whichever type you choose, we always advise our clients to go with the type that has high levels of solids in them because they have high-quality sealants. Other types include acrylic and fast-dry sealers. Acrylic sealers have fewer health risks to individuals and the environment. While dry fast, as the name suggests, it dries pretty quickly, and you can use the paving after an hour of applying.

Apart from protecting the paving, the process will leave your blacktop looking attractive and uniform. Our contractors are highly trained, so they will ensure that the cracks and holes are filled efficiently. Furthermore, this is a cost-effective way of surfacing or repairing your driveway, ensuring its longevity.
