We are also more than happy to answer any asphalt questions you may have, questions like “Is Thick Sealcoat better?”

Is Thick Sealcoat better

Sealcoat has many benefits: it protects the pavement from the elements and re-beautify the parking lot with a fresh jet-black look. And this is just the beginning. Additional benefits of sealcoating include:

  1. Stain Resistant: Not only can gasoline and oil stain your asphalt parking lot, but they will also soften the pavement. Sealcoat helps prevent this from happening.
  2. Slows Fading: Ultraviolet rays from the sun break the links between carbon bonds within asphalt, both fading and damaging the asphalt. Sealcoat helps shield your asphalt from the damaging rays of the sun.
  3. Ease of Maintenance: Sealcoat makes it much easier to wipe up spills and maintain your asphalt parking lot.
  4. And so much more!

However, none of the above benefits will come to pass if the sealer is not applied properly. So, is think sealcoat better? Quite simply, no!

Bigger is not always better. Sorry Texas. Sometimes, less is more. This is especially when it comes to sealcoat. Sealcoating is not meant to be applied in thick patches and will not provide your parking lot with more protection. It actually has the opposite effect. Thick sealcoat doesn’t cure evenly; is prone to tracking, which can lead to surface cracks; takes longer to cure, which can lead to degradation; and reduces the life of your sealcoating.
