Preparing Asphalt for a Commercial Sealcoat

Summer has officially arrived in the Twin Cities area, and it’s difficult to think that not long ago we were all shoveling snow. Drastic weather changes like these are part of life in Minnesota, and the best action we can take is prepare for whatever may come!

If your commercial asphalt parking lot looks a little worse for the wear this June, consider investing in a commercial sealcoating. Here are just a few reasons a quality sealcoat will help your asphalt, no matter what type of weather is headed your way:

Protect from Sunshine: In the heat of the summer, asphalt often suffers from the intense rays of the sun. Much like skin needs sunscreen during the summer months, asphalt parking lots need a layer of protection to both maintain their structural integrity and physical appearance.

Protect from Freezing: Once winter rolls around, a commercial sealcoating will keep your asphalt protected from the melting and freezing cycle. If water gets into the asphalt surface, it will freeze and expand, creating chips in the surface. If you’ve spent money to pave your asphalt parking lot, make sure that your investment is protected!

Protect from General Damage: Sealcoating commercial asphalt surfaces is important, especially because multiple drivers use these surfaces every day. It’s important to keep all of those folks safe throughout the year, no matter the weather! While commercial sealcoating will keep your asphalt protected from aesthetic damages, such as oil stains or fading, it also protects it from physical damages, like chips or cracks. This protection will extend the overall life, and safety, of your asphalt!
