Driveway Sealcoating
What Is Asphalt?
Asphalt is either rock/stone or gravel with a binder (asphalt cement) that holds the aggregate together. Ultraviolet rays and chemicals degrade the binder, therefore, maintaining the binder will help you increase the lifespan of your driveway. Ergo, the main objective of asphalt seal coating is to protect your asphalt pavement although it improves quality and beautifies.
What Is Asphalt Paving?

How Should I Do Sealcoating?
There are numerous programs you can follow to extend your driveway or parking lot. Alternatively, if you prefer working with professionals, numerous professional companies can help you improve the quality of your driveway whilst increasing its lifespan. A seal coat provides an additional layer that protects your driveway from oils, UV rays, and water.
If your asphalt sealer is applied by a professional as per manufacturer’s instructions, you will have a slip-resistant place with a black finish that beautifies your driveway/parking lot. Asphalt sealers are either acrylics or bituminous based products mixed with silica sand, water, polymer additives, and other filler solids. When applying these products, you can use a brush, squeegee or spray. It is important to understand that seal coating your driveway or parking lot often will double the lifespan of your asphalt thus saving you maintenance, repairs or installation costs in the long run.
Should you install sealed or unsealed asphalt?
Asphalt pavement is a blend of molten liquid asphalt and aggregate or crushed rock. The hot mix is carefully placed and compacted using heavy equipment to form an asphalt pavement. Therefore, if you have a home or business you are looking to improve, asphalt pavement can do the trick.
However, if you are looking for asphalt installation, you need to hire a professional contractor instead of relying on a handyman or DIY. An experienced contractor offers you a wide range of benefits including experience, skills, and high-quality services.
What are the tips for applying asphalt seal coating?
To offer maximum protection and optimum performance, here are important tips you should follow:
Apply a minimum of two coats
- The temperatures should be a minimum of 50°C and rising for more than one day/24 hours. You shouldn’t apply the seal-coating when the temperatures are forecasted below the 50 degrees mark
- You shouldn’t apply the asphalt seal coating if there is imminent rain within 24 hours
- After you’ve installed the asphalt seal coating, wait for 24 hours to fully harden before you allow vehicle traffic
In case your asphalt pavement is worn out through weathering or aging, Willies Paving pavement sealer can help you. With professional help, you will improve your curb appeal, beautify your pavement and improve the quality of your driveway or parking lot.
Why should you seal-coat your driveway?
Since your driveway adds value to your home or property, an asphalt seal coat serves the same purpose. If you install a high-quality seal coat, it will be resistant to water seepage, sun’s oxidation, petroleum spills, and other damaging elements. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider installing a seal coat driveway:
Saves your money
Sealcoating will extend the lifespan of your driveway thus saving you maintenance and repair costs. However, you should hire a professional company for installation.
Increase the value of your property
When you seal coat your driveway, you will not only enhance your landscape but also beautify it thus increasing the value of your property.
Environmentally friendly
When you hire a professional company like Willies Paving that uses the government-grade coal tar sealers, you will have used environmentally friendly products. Ergo, you will not affect the environment in any way.
Why does asphalt seal coating deteriorate?
If you don’t treat your driveway regularly, the glue/asphalt binder that holds your pavement together will oxidize then weather after some time. The moisture that penetrates makes your asphalt deteriorate although gas, salt, and oil also cause further damage. There are some of the reasons why asphalt changes its color, deteriorates and costs a lot to maintain or repair.
