Prolong the Life of Your Parking Space

0 comments
Having a large parking lot means more customers can stop by your store to buy your products and services. With stricter parking regulations in almost all cities, many motorists are always on the move to find a place where their vehicles can rest unharmed while they are dining or buying goods and supplies. This is why improving the quality of your business’s parking space is a good investment that may yield a quick return on investment.

However, space is not enough to make sure that your parking lot will remain an efficient source of income for many years. Sooner or later, it will have potholes and cracks that need to be fixed in order to make the lot safe for vehicles again. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent horrendous changes in your pavement and secure your bottom line.

The best parking lots have asphalt overlays. While asphalt performs well in harsh weather conditions, it isn’t as tough as concrete when resisting friction. Asphalt needs a shield or coating to, at least, prevent the weight of tires and debris from directly pressing it. Trusted pavement companies use special sealcoating products to laminate asphalt parking spaces.


Although the sealant provides a tough shield against debris and pressure, it’s susceptible to moisture and water like everything else. If soaked with water for a long time, the shield will dissolve until the asphalt is exposed. The parking space needs a well-designed drainage system to keep water exposure to a minimum all the time.
