What is Driveway Sealing?

Driveway sealer is installed on top of your existing driveway and acts as a protective barrier against water, stains, chemicals and the elements.  There are different types of sealers available depending on the composition of your driveway.

Not only does driveway sealing protect and extend the life of your driveway, it’s also entirely possible to change your driveways appearance.  A wide range of coloured tints and coating options are available.

 

How Much Does It Cost?

It’s far more cost effective to reseal your driveway to ensure its protection.  This can modernize the look of your driveway and protect it for several years.  With a cement or asphalt driveway, simply resealing it can repair small cracks and chips.

 

How Long Does It Take?

Ultimate Seal are unique from other sealing companies because they high pressure clean your driveway one day and seal it the next.  The underlying surface needs to dry for 24 hours to ensure no moisture is trapped underneath the sealer.  By doing this, the maximum life cycle of your new sealer is easily reached.

 

If the surface is not allowed to dry before the sealer is laid, it can result in a cloudy looking finish.  This scenario also greatly reduces the performance of the sealer.  The colour used is mixed into the sealer and works to penetrate your concrete surface.  This differs from paint, which peels and flakes over time and with increased use.
