Asphalt Squeegees

Asphalt squeegees help you apply sealer and move material with control, speed, and a professional finish. Whether you’re sealing a driveway or maintaining a parking lot, a quality sealcoat squeegee spreads asphalt sealer evenly, cuts down on waste, and leaves a smooth, uniform surface that cures properly. They also reduce fatigue by letting you push or pull larger volumes with less effort than a broom or makeshift spreader.

Common styles include straight/box squeegees for sealcoat, U-channel bodies that hold more material, and V-shaped crack squeegees for leveling hot-pour crack filler. Blades are typically neoprene or gum rubber for great contact with textured blacktop, with widths from 18 to 48 inches to match small residential areas or wide commercial lanes. Look for lightweight aluminum frames, reinforced yokes, and replaceable blades to keep your pavement maintenance workflow efficient season after season.

How to choose the right asphalt squeegee:
- Match the squeegee to the job: straight or U-channel for sealcoat; V-squeegee for crack fill cleanup.
- Pick a width that fits your space: narrower for tight driveways, wider for open lots.
- Consider blade firmness: softer rubber conforms to rough surfaces; stiffer rubber moves heavier material.
- Check compatibility with your sealer (asphalt emulsion, coal tar, acrylic) and temperature range; use heat‑rated tools for hot-pour products.
- Prioritize comfort: long fiberglass or aluminum handles, angled heads, and sturdy threads reduce strain.
- Opt for replaceable blades and corrosion-resistant frames to lower long-term costs.

Use and care tips for better results:
- Pour a ribbon of sealer and pull at a low angle with overlapping passes; back-brush edges for clean lines.
- Work in manageable sections to avoid puddles and ridges; avoid direct midday sun for more open time.
- Rinse immediately after use; use appropriate cleaners per sealer type, then store flat and out of heat.
- Inspect blade edges regularly and replace at the first signs of rounding.

Find the right asphalt squeegee to streamline asphalt repair, driveway sealing, and parking lot maintenance while delivering a smooth, consistent seal.
