Shield Your Driveway With Are Sealcoating Solutions.
Restore and Protect Your Asphalt Pavement
Does your driveway look a little dull? Do you remember the last time your driveway was sealcoated? Driveways must constantly face the outer elements as well as vehicles and other heavy items being parked on them. At Michaels Paving, we offer professional sealcoating services for residential property owners who are looking to continually maintain their driveway and keep it looking its best and preserving its life.
What is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective black coating to asphalt pavements in order to preserve its structural integrity and enhance its appearance. Asphalt itself is a mixture of aggregates (stone, sand, gravel) and a liquid binder that holds it together. Each day, asphalt is exposed to elements that cause deterioration, cracking, and more. Sealcoat acts as a shield to protect from these elements and can extend, and even double the life of your driveway.
Sealcoating is not a structural repair that will completely restore damaged asphalt back to its original state. One sealcoat application will not “fix” a driveway indefinitely. There are aesthetic benefits to sealcoating, but also many limitations. Sealcoat will make your driveway black, but will not “smooth out” rough areas or make cracks disappear.
What Elements Affect my Driveway?
The following elements can affect the condition of your residential property’s driveway:
- Traffic flow of vehicles wears asphalt
- UV rays contribute to the oxidation (drying out) of asphalt
- Trailers, machinery, or heavy objects can scrape or cause indentations in the asphalt
- Water runoff or settlement causes erosion
- Freeze/Thaw cycles – water intruding in cracks and expanding
- Snow plows, snow blowers, and shovels can scrape the driveway surface
How is the Driveway Sealcoating Applied?
Unless otherwise requested, We spray on the sealer using 2ft wide fan. A spray on application is proven to last longer and provide consistent coverage each time. for residential driveway spraying is the way to go.
Is thicker Driveway Sealcoat Better?
When it comes to the application of sealer, thicker is not better. Thick coats don’t cure evenly, are prone to tracking and can lead to surface cracks. A thicker coat takes longer to cure, which can lead to degradation and will reduce the life of your sealcoating project. In fact, a sure sign of a driveway that has been over-sealed is a driveway without texture. An asphalt driveway should not look smooth like concrete, the asphalt texture should be visible. It is important for residential property owner to understand that applying a thick layer of sealer will not provide more protection. Sealer manufacturers set specific mix designs for their product; when you stray from these specifications, the product will not perform as intended. Overall, avoid the typical more is better thinking —with sealer, thicker is not better!
