Triple-Power Sealcoating: Safeguarding, Preserving, and Extending Your Twinsburg, OH, Asphalt
Asphalt pavement is widely considered the top choice for driveways, parking lots, and roads thanks to the material’s affordability and durability. However, it is not immune to exposure to the elements. Apart from that, regular wear and tear will inevitably take a toll on your asphalt surface’s structural integrity and appearance.
This is where high-quality sealcoating comes into the picture. The process refers to the application of a protective layer on the surface. If applied properly by highly experienced professionals, sealcoating can enhance the overall aesthetics and service life of your pavement and other asphalt surfaces. It acts as a barrier against various harmful elements including UV rays, oil, grease, and water.
It also helps to prevent water penetration and minimizes the harm caused by oxidation, even as it decreases the risk of cracks and potholes developing on your pavement. Some of the key advantages of sealcoating include:
Protection Against the Sun’s Harmful UV Rays
The sun's ultraviolet radiation can seriously damage your asphalt surface as it causes rapid surface degradation, fading, and brittleness. Sealcoating shields the surface by blocking these rays. Since they can’t penetrate the surface, it preserves its rich black color for a very long time.
Enhanced Chemical Resistance
Sealcoating helps your asphalt pavement withstand the impact of harmful substances like oil, salt, gasoline, grease, and other chemicals that can wear down the pavement surface.
Water Infiltration Prevention
If water leaks into the surface, potholes and cracks will develop and rapidly spread all over your asphalt pavement. Left unchecked, structural damage will inevitably occur, and you'll have to reconstruct your entire pavement. This problem is further compounded in winter because of the freeze-thaw cycle. As the water freezes and contracts, it will fill all the small crevices and tiny holes in the surface. Once it melts, it takes more space, leading to cracking issues. Sealcoating eliminates this problem by increasing water resistance and ensuring that water and ice cannot penetrate inside the sub-surface.
Easy Maintenance
Sealcoating creates a smooth surface that’s a lot easier to clean than one full of dirt-filled fissures.
