You’ll also find out the reasoning behind why a seal coating should be applied in the first place. A sealer keeps the asphalt from oxidizing and washing away. A gorgeous dark parking lot with straight white lines is very impressive to customers since it makes a statement that your business is successful. The darker it is, the more sun it will absorb allowing snow to melt faster in the winter, meaning less salt is used to keep cars from sliding and customers from falling, and that’s going to save money. Most businesses get their parking lots seal coated every few years. If it gets cracked, crack filling can be used to fill them, but eventually new asphalt, called an overlay may be needed to replace the old.
