Asphalt Seal Coating

The elements—rain, snow, sun, and wear and tear from cars parked and driven on your lot—all wreak havoc. But if you have a revitalizing sealant placed in your parking lot, you can fight back. The components of asphalt that deteriorate over time are replaced by these kinds of sealants. A seal coating can help if your parking lot has cracked or become brittle. Additionally, it protects against raveling and the elements and functions as a kind of sunscreen.

Additionally, different seal types may be blended with sand, scrub, or chips. These techniques involve pouring a liquid on the asphalt, followed by an aggregate that is pressed into the pavement. The process is then finished off using a broom or roller.

These sealants can add 3 to 6 years to the life of your parking lot. It can last even longer if you apply many applications of chip sealant. Seal coating is the most cost-effective way of asphalt preservation.

Slurry Seal does not improve the structural capacity of asphalt, but it improves the appearance and gives additional protection for 5 to 10 years, depending on the type of substance used. The seal plugs tiny fractures and increases the lot's traction.

It also gives UV protection, which aids in the prevention of surface color fading and heat damage, both of which are important issues in Idaho. The scorching sun breaks down the asphalt bonding, which contributes to cracking and raveling, thus this protection is more than simply ornamental.

A slurry seal can save you money by fixing minor damage and being less expensive than a total asphalt overlay.

If your parking lot has moderate to severe damage, microsurfacing is a better option than seal coating or slurry seal. It plugs gaps and minor holes, but it also contains an extra component that makes it more durable than the alternatives. It is also ready for usage faster – in one hour versus 24 hours for the other procedures.
