Parking lot sealcoating services play a pivotal role in commercial pavement management, but most people don’t know exactly what they are. Luckily, Nash Paving loves to educate our clients about how our maintenance services can preserve their asphalt.
Nash Paving: Premier Sealcoating Services in Tennessee
This vital pavement maintenance service involves the application of a sealant made of coal tar pitch or asphalt cement blended with additives. This thin protective layer shields against elements like gasoline, oil, salt, water, and UV rays. Over time, asphalt oxidation dulls the surface, but sealcoating revitalizes it with a lustrous black finish, preserving and extending your parking lot’s lifespan.
Benefits of Sealcoating for Your TN Parking Lot
Here are the benefits your commercial property will see after getting your pavement sealed by professionals.
- Beautification: Dark sealant rejuvenates pavement, showcasing a positive image.
- Slower Oxidation: Sealcoating reduces oxygen exposure and prevents oil penetration.
- Slower Water Penetration: Waterproofing prevents water damage, freeze/thaw effects.
- Resistance to Spills: It resists oil and gas spills, unlike unsealed asphalt.
- Increases Pliability: Dark pavement absorbs heat and becomes more pliable and durable.
- Protects from Pressure Washing: Shield against high-pressure washing, ideal for restaurant areas.
- Cost Effective: This process preserves asphalt, which is cost-effective compared to fluctuations in oil prices.
When to get your pavement sealed.
Many clients ask us how often they should get their asphalt sealed. Our experts advise getting sealocating services every 24-36 months. Various factors, encompassing weather patterns and parking lot traffic, influence this recommendation.
Preserve Commercial Pavements with our Parking Lot Sealcoating
We care about local business owners and are happy to improve local properties with cost-effective pavement maintenance. Here’s our process for sealing asphalt:
Preparation: Before proceeding with pavement sealing, addressing any structural issues or repairs is crucial. Ideally, a waiting period of 12 to 18 months post-repairs is recommended. Upon confirming the parking lot’s readiness, our team undertakes a thorough cleaning using sweeper trucks, mechanical blowers, and brooms to eliminate dirt and debris.
- Application: Applying sealer demands precise conditions as it’s water-soluble and susceptible during drying. We ensure clear weather and appropriate temperatures for application.
- Post-Application: To ensure the best results, avoiding traffic on the freshly sealed surface for at least 24-36 hours is advisable to facilitate proper drying and curing.
The experienced Nash Paving crew can preserve and protect your Tennessee parking lot by following these protocols.
