How Do I Paint Asphalt?

Asphalt is a mixture of bitumen with crushed stone gravel or sand, used for paving, flooring, roofing

  • Clean the surfaces from dirt, dust, moss and lichen. Use a high-pressure washer, avoiding damaging the substrate and structures. Use Valtti Mould removal solution, rinse carefully with clean water. 

The surface to be painted must be dry. The temperature of the air, paint and surface, during application, should be at least +15°C and the relative humidity of the air below 80 %. The surface must not be more than 3°C colder than the air. Do not use the paint when rain is expected.

For roofing
