Resin is fast becoming the surface of choice, because of its great appearance and very low maintenance qualities. It is also meets building regulations because it’s a permeable Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) surface that helps to reduce flooding and water quality.
Typically, when rain water runs off a traditional impermeable surface such as block paving, it can pick up nasty pollutants and oils which flows into drains and rivers. This has an impact of local wildlife and the fishing industry.
Resin is becoming more and more popular over the past 10 years, its texture and style no doubt adds value to your home and bring kerb appeal to any property, here’s some questions we get asked regularly about resin driveways.
Is Resin Expensive?
Yes, it’s more expensive than other traditional driveway materials such as block paving and tarmac because the epoxy resin is a high price raw materials it’s more expensive to buy. Also laying is more complicated and should only be done by skilled and experienced driveway companies.
Is Resin High Maintenance?
Not at all, after we have laid your new resin driveway, we will seal it off for 2 days and you’ll never have to worry about it again, just simple cleaning we recommend using a soft brush or we offer a driveway cleaning service and restoration service.
What Colours Are Available?
The most popular choice of resin driveways for colour are sand, anthracite grey, black and wood finishes, others are available.
What Issues Can Arise From Resin?
Resin itself is fine, its how its installed, here are some of the issues that can arise:
1 – Base, if laid on concrete it can expand in hot temperatures, there needs to be careful consideration of where the cuts are as these can overlap.
2 – Streaky Driveways – you need to ensure resin is installed on a warm sunny day to ensure the driveway will dry out and not cause stains.
3 – Mixing aggregate with the crumb, too short the resin will not be thick enough, too long the stones will embed in the resin, this is why you need to ensure you are working with an established and reputable resin driveway company.
