Sealing your driveway is important for maintaining its appearance and extending its lifetime. It’s important to find out what the weather is going to be the day you seal because it could affect your driveway. Here’s how weather can impact driveway sealing:
- Cold Weather: Sealing your driveway in cold weather can prevent the sealer from curing properly. If the temperature is below 50 F, you shouldn’t seal your driveway.
- Rain: Rain can be detrimental to the sealing process. If it rains before the sealer is fully dried, it can wash away the sealer and lead to patchy results. Check the forecast and if there is rain within the next 48 hours, don’t seal your driveway.
- Extreme Heat: Warmer temperatures can help the drying process, but extreme heat can cause the sealer to dry too fast and lead to an uneven finish.
