Resin Driveway FAQ’s
How long does a resin-bound driveway last?
A well-installed resin-bound driveway can last between 15 and 25 years or more, depending on the quality of the materials used, the base preparation, and the level of traffic.
What is the difference between resin-bound and resin-bonded driveways?
Driveways that are resin-bonded have a rough, impermeable finish because the resin is poured over the surface, and then loose aggregates are scattered on top of it.
Conversely, resin-bound driveways are created by mixing resin with natural aggregates and then troweling it onto a prepared surface for a smooth, permeable, and durable finish.
Are resin-bound driveways suitable for all types of weather?
Yes, resin-bound driveways are suitable for all types of weather, making them an excellent choice for the UK climate.
They are UV-stable, meaning they won’t fade or discolour under sunlight.
Can resin-bound driveways be installed over existing surfaces?
If the existing surfaces, such as tarmac or concrete, are structurally sound and in good shape, resin-bound driveways can be constructed over them.
Cracked or uneven surfaces will require repair or a new subbase to ensure the longevity and stability of the resin surface.
Are resin-bound driveways safe for children and pets?
Yes, resin-bound driveways are safe for both children and pets.
They create a smooth, flat surface with no loose stones, reducing the risk of trips and falls.
