Preserving, Protecting and Beautifying One of Your Most Important Assets – The Parking Lot
Your parking lot is the “Welcome Mat” to your property. It provides both image and functionality to your business or institution. Your parking lot also represents a substantial capital investment that must be maintained.
What is Asphalt Pavement?
Asphalt Pavement, also known as Hot Mix, is a simple blend of two main components; Molten Liquid Asphalt (the black glue or binder), and Crushed Rock or Aggregate. The Hot Mix is then placed and compacted to form asphalt pavement.
Why Does Asphalt Pavement Deteriorate?
Left untreated, asphalt pavement will deteriorate rapidly. The asphalt binder (glue) that holds the pavement together begins to oxidize and weather soon after installation. Moisture penetrates the asphalt, causing damage and deterioration to the pavement. Oil, gas and salt cause further damage to the pavement surface. All of this environmental distress is why asphalt goes from a newly laid fresh black appearance to a drab, aged, oxidized gray appearance.
Sealcoating Protects and Beautifies Asphalt Pavement
Pavement sealer replenishes the binder that is lost through weathering and aging and provides a barrier to moisture intrusion as well as ultraviolet rays, chemicals and salt.
And just as important, sealcoating beautifies pavement; enhancing the image and curb appeal of commercial properties, home driveways, roadways and more. Sealcoating provides a rich, black “like new” appearance to otherwise drab and worn out pavements.
Professional Sealcoating
Chemical damage, sun damage, and harsh weather deteriorate asphalt pavement. Sealcoating and crack filling is a fraction of the cost of repairing or replacing asphalt pavement. A scheduled pavement maintenance program that include sealcoating and crack filling can more than double the life of your asphalt pavement.
