Sealcoating Services for Commercial Properties
Sealcoating is an essential part of maintaining and prolonging the lifespan of asphalt. Not only does it protect against harsh elements and weather conditions, but it also enhances the texture for improved traction.
Plus, our specially formulated sealcoat contains slate for an even greater level of grip.
SEALCOATING METHODS
We use various techniques to apply sealcoat, including broom, brush, spray, or squeegee. We choose the best method for each project.
SPRAYING
An asphalt sealcoat protects the surface by creating a uniform layer. Applying two coats provides better protection. The spray penetrates small pockets that hold moisture and cause breakdown. Some jobs require additional manual work around concrete or other areas to avoid over-spray.
BROOM/BRUSH
Using an application is an effective method for applying asphalt sealcoat as it allows for the product to penetrate small pockets without leaving air bubbles. However, this method may result in slight broom lines and may require broom work around concrete, decorative rock, structures, and the street.
SQUEEGEE IS ANOTHER POPULAR WAY OF APPLYING SEALCOAT
Using a squeegee machine to apply sealer puts pressure on the sealant giving it an opportunity to fill cracks and voids and create a better bond with the pavement surface.
PROPER SAND LOAD
The federal specification standard states that the proper sand load for a sealing project is four to five pounds of sand per gallon. Sand is the main bonding agent in sealer that acts as the grit of the product and contributes to the staying power of the sealer. The spray application method cannot guarantee these amounts. By using a squeegee machine to apply your sealer, you can ensure the proper sand load for every application.
EFFICIENCY & ACCURACY
Squeegee machines apply sealcoat directly onto the asphalt surface. By forcing the materials deep into the pores of the hairline cracks of new or porous asphalt, we can ensure the most optimal protection. The squeegee machine also produces an evenly distributed textured surface that provides consistent wear and a slip resistant surface with every application.
NO OVERSPRAY
Squeegee machines have no overspray. You don’t have to worry about product waste or getting sealer on curbs, landscaping or vehicles even on a windy day
PERFORMANCE
Universal Seal has four 2000 Gallon Tanker trucks to transport material to your jobsite and 400 gallon Squeegee Applicator machines to apply the sealer. Having a large inventory of equipment allows us to complete large-sized projects with aggressive schedules and offer cost savings to our customers.
PRODUCT
We uses ready-to-use Pavement Sealer that is emulsified with water by the manufacturer using high shear mixing equipment. This process ensures high-quality and long-lasting sealer that contains the highest amount of solids.
PARKING LOT SEALCOATING: WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
To understand sealcoating, it’s important to know about asphalt pavement’s composition. It’s a blend of many chemicals, vulnerable to damage by weather, salts, oil, grease, and fuel. These elements erode the asphalt molecules, causing the pavement to lose its binding and waterproofing abilities. Sealcoating acts as a shield, protecting the pavement’s quality and durability from these harmful agents.
