The sun is one of the biggest natural enemies to Minnesota asphalt care. Though a nice sunny day can help to dry potentially damaging moisture from your Twin Cities, MN area asphalt surfaces, it can also rapidly lead to degrading asphalt quality. One of the most effective ways to protect asphalt surfaces from the damaging effects of UV rays and heat is through seasonal sealcoating. At Gopher State Sealcoat, our asphalt care team can assist you in creating a regular sealcoating schedule to help protect your commercial asphalt surfaces from the damaging effects of summer’s high heat and strong UV rays.
Sealcoating Asphalt Is Your Best Defense
Sealcoating asphalt isn’t just for protecting your property against water, winter salt, and chemicals. It can also act as a shield between your asphalt and brutal UV damage. UV damage to pavement happens when the sun breaks down the binding agents within the asphalt, causing it to become brittle. Over time, this can lead to surface cracking, diminishing both the appearance and the structural integrity of your asphalt.
Sealcoating asphalt creates a durable layer of protection that can withstand the sun, regular driving, and even winter weather. This protection can also be bolstered by filling in potholes and cracks as needed, but sealcoating creates a strong foundation for your property.
Making a Customized Sealcoating Plan
Let’s face it—it wouldn’t make financial sense to construct a canopy large enough to shade all of your commercial asphalt surfaces. What truly makes financial sense, however, is making an ongoing asphalt care plan to help save you time and money on repairs. Our asphalt care experts can help you evaluate the needs of your property and make a sealcoating schedule that will help keep your parking lots, commercial driveways, and private asphalt walkways in the best condition possible.
