A resin driveway that looks fantasticResin bound driveways are quickly becoming the modern looking driveway of choice and they really stand out! There are a wide range of colour combinations available, which means you can have a resin bound drive that blends in with its surroundings.
Resin drivewaysResin driveways are an attractive solution to those who want the look and texture of a loose gravel driveway without all the mess than comes with it. A layer of non-porous resin is applied to the driveway surface, and covered with a loose aggregate. Once the resin is set and cured, the loose stones are taken away, leaving solid and dependable gravel-effect driveway.
SuDs complianceResin bound driveways are permeable and ensure SuDS(sustainable urban drainage system), compliance removing the needs for linear drains and soakaways.
Low maintenancePeriodic cleaning should be all the maintenance that is required to keep your Resin bound driveway looking good.
What are bound resin driveways?With a bound resin driveway, aggregates are mixed with a clear resin. These can be natural materials like marble or recycled materials. The clear resin means that every single bit of the material is covered, and the mixture can then be laid onto a base, creating a smooth and permeable finish. It can be from 12mm to 24mm deep, depending on the type of aggregate used.
Once the bound resin driveway is in place, it has a smooth finish with no stones able to become loose or move around. It is long lasting and can use a mixture of different aggregates to create the look you want on a driveway, car park or other groundwork area.
Stunning finishA bound resin driveway creates a stunning finish for your driveway but it also very practical. Because the stones are encased in the resin, it has a smoother finish than bonded resin, where the stones are laid into a resin film.
Plus the permeable nature of the material means there’s no need to worry about planning permission issues and once installed, the driveway will stay in top condition for a very long time with little maintenance needed. It is suitable for large or small areas and also is ideal for unusual shapes that you may have or want to create as it can be shaped into any dimensions
You might think the process of laying a new driveway will be intrusive, disruptive and messy. Not so with resin bonded driveways. Firstly, no major excavation is needed, which helps keep the cost of the project, as well as the hassle, to a minimum. Then, we lay the surface in separate stages. Once the resin has been applied, we add a textured surface that offers resistance against slipping and will endure even the toughest use and the worst of the weather long into the future.
Resin bond and resin bound although they sound very similar they are very different.
Resin bound is a porous surface, the aggregate is mixed with the resin, the material is then troweled down to a smooth finish that looks similar to screed, there is no loose gravel, depths are dependent on the use and vary from 12mm-24mm this surface is SUDS compliant.
Resin bond is a scatter coat system which provides the texture and appearance of loose gravel, this system is non porous.
A layer of resin is applied to a suitable surface laid to falls and covered with loose aggregate, once cured the remaining loose stones are removed.Resin bonded finishes are also suitable for paths and patios, as well as business premises exteriors, that don’t require a permeable surface. Finishes are made from different blends of natural gravel in differing sizes and colours, so you have a wide choice when it comes to the look of your surface. And with bonded resin, you get the aesthetic and appeal of gravel without the problem of stones shifting and intruding on other areas of your outdoor space.
Because the surface is stable and offers high friction, the resin bonded system is effective for wheelchairs, pushchairs and bikes too.
Easy, Low Maintenance – Call Today for a QuoteThe gravel’s natural colour will not fade or discolour with the sun.
