Same-Day Estimates & 1-Year Warranty on UV-Tough Overlays
We prioritize efficiency and trust at Asphalt Coating Company. Our same-day estimates allow us to quickly assess your pavement needs and deliver a detailed quote, saving you time and enabling informed decisions. UV radiation causes asphalt raveling, as documented in pavement durability studies Pavement Durability, but our UV-tough overlays combat this by resisting Denver’s intense sunlight, amplified by its mile-high elevation. These overlays extend pavement life and come with a 1-year warranty, ensuring durability against heat and wear. For related services, explore our parking lot repair offerings.
Polymer-Modified vs. SBS Blend: Which Lasts Longer?
Choosing the right asphalt mix is critical for longevity, as emphasized by industry experts Asphalt Magazine. Polymer-modified asphalt incorporates additives like polymers to enhance resistance to cracking and deformation, ideal for Denver’s temperature swings, according to the Federal Highway Administration. SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) blend, a specific polymer-modified mix, uses SBS to boost elasticity and withstand extreme heat and cold, offering superior performance in high-traffic areas, as noted in Asphalt Magazine. Research suggests SBS blends may outlast other polymer-modified mixes due to their enhanced flexibility Polymer-Modified Asphalt Benefits. We guide clients to the best option based on traffic, budget, and climate needs.
| Asphalt Type | Key Attribute | Typical Lifespan |
| Polymer-Modified | Crack resistance | 15–20 years |
| SBS Blend | Elasticity, heat tolerance | 18–25 years (estimated) |
Eco-Friendly Reflective Coatings That Cut Surface Heat
Reflective coatings lower pavement temperature, making surfaces cooler and more comfortable, as outlined in the EPA’s Cool Pavements Guide. Our eco-friendly reflective coatings increase solar reflectance, reducing asphalt heat absorption and mitigating Denver’s urban heat island effect. These coatings protect against UV damage and align with sustainability goals, as noted by the EPA’s Cool Pavements Guide. Applied near landmarks like Cherry Creek, our coatings ensure both environmental and practical benefits.
Local Crew Insights on Summer Scheduling
Our Denver crew, operating since 1986, excels in navigating summer paving challenges. We schedule installations during early mornings or late afternoons to avoid peak heat, which can compromise asphalt workability, as recommended by the National Asphalt Pavement Association. Near Empower Field, our team ensures mixes stay at optimal temperatures for flawless results. This expertise, paired with our 24/7 emergency response, guarantees reliable service tailored to Denver’s climate.
