Parking Lot Sealcoating
There are a few different methods to applying sealcoat and we usually try to stick to the best available for the project. Sealcoat can be applied via broom, brush, spray or squeegee
-
SPRAYING
When an asphalt sealcoat is sprayed on, it is applied in a very uniform pattern and is left on the surface of the exposed aggregate giving the asphalt a long lasting protective layer, especially when two coats are applied. Spraying sealcoat also penetrates deep into the small fines in the asphalt filling in the tiny pockets that hold moisture and lead to breakdown. Not every job can be sprayed and in most cases, jobs that can be sprayed will require a bit of broom, brush or squeegee work to be done around concrete and other areas where over-spray is a factor.
-
BROOM/BRUSH
Application is a great way to apply asphalt sealcoat. When you broom the sealcoat in, it works the product down into the small pockets penetrating and leaving no air bubbles in the final result. The downside to this i that sometimes it leaves slight broom lines. Most jobs require a bit of 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
