Winter’s low temperatures are behind us, and we are finally starting to see some warm days! At Platinum Paving & Sealcoating, we know pleasant weather means that homeowners and commercial property managers alike are looking for novel ways to rehabilitate their property’s structure and boost overall curb appeal. If it has been a couple of years since you have invested in asphalt driveway sealcoating or if your driveway has seen better days, there’s no better time of year to address it! Before we delve into why spring and summer are ideal for sealcoating, let’s take a look at some of the fundamentals of sealcoating itself.
The Importance of Sealcoating
Sealcoating a thin liquid layer over a paved surface helps protect driveways, parking lots, and other areas from damage caused by UV rays, precipitation, snow, and fluids from vehicles. Aside from keeping out damaging elements, correctly applying a sealcoat is paramount to extend the life of asphalt paving. Apart from the functional advantages, an asphalt sealcoating can help smooth out any crevices or dips to give your driveway or lot a luxurious, vibrant look.
Why Is Summer the Best Time For Sealcoating?
By investing in a sealcoat application for your driveway during mid-spring and summer, your driveway will stay protected and weather-resistant for the remainder of the year. Early spring temperatures may be too cold, and the water present in the sealant could freeze overnight (sealer has a hard time setting when temperatures dip below 50 degrees).
