Summertime is hot in Georgia. And those of us who find ourselves outside for much of the day, take great care to reduce the affects the Hotlanta sun has on our daily activities. Sunglasses, hats, long sleeves, suntan lotion, cold water and AC are all things we use to protect our bodies from the harm the sun can cause.
The sun’s intense heat and UV rays also have damaging effects on parking lots. Asphalt sealing is a process of applying a sealant to the asphalt surface to protect it from the sun and ultimately extend its life. Much like how we apply protective layers over our bodies, MH Greeson can apply a long lasting protective coating to keep asphalt healthy.
MH Greeson is the Marietta asphalt sealing specialist, serving the entire metro Atlanta area and beyond. Our businesses entire focus is on maintaining and repairing asphalt to help you maximize the investment you’ve made in your parking lot or drive.
How does asphalt sealing extend pavement life?
Asphalt pavement, like everything, is subject to deterioration and the effects of nature. There are a wide range of elements that shorten the life of pavement, but none act as swiftly as water. Once water penetrates the structure of pavement it seeps down into the base layers, causing extensive damage (and the need for asphalt repair). Water typically penetrates the pavement through asphalt cracks. Asphalt cracks are often due to the loss of flexibility in the pavement caused by — you guessed it — sunlight.
It’s for this reason, asphalt sealing is the most important factor in any pavement maintenance program. When quality asphalt sealers are used throughout the life of a parking lot, it is not unusual to double its life — and the return on your investment.
Don’t delay. Protect your parking lot from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
