Learn more about our resin driveways, and how they can benefit you.
Resin driveways are a great option
Around the beginning of the 1990s, resin driveways were very popular in the UK. Resin driveways are durable, long-lasting and beautiful. They outperform other surfacing options. These are the top advantages of resin driveways that will make your property a smart choice.
Very tough
A driveway should last for several years. Resin driveways are extremely durable, so you can be sure that they will last for many years. Resin driveways are strong because they combine a variety of robust ingredients, such as natural aggregates, stones and glass. Resin is permeable so water doesn’t cause damage to these driveways.
Resin driveways are durable and can last for 25 years when maintained properly. Concrete and other materials tend to wear faster than driveways made from resin. Concrete can crack under pressure, ruining driveway looks. Elite Tarmac Drives guarantees that our driveways will last for at least ten years. This gives you peace of mind knowing your driveway will look great for many years to come. You can expect it will last longer if you take the proper care.
Easy to maintain
Resin driveways require little maintenance. A stiff brush and a stiff broom are good ways to get rid of leaves and stop moss growing. A jet wash can also be used to get rid of dirt, marks, and other elements that could damage your driveway. You can usually remove chewing gum from your resin surface with freeze spray.
Water permeable
Resin-bound driveways are water-permeable and less likely to be contaminated by surface water. Water can flow through the driveway into the ground underneath to be absorbed in the earth. You can avoid flooding and puddles by using a resin driveway. Major flooding events are becoming more frequent in the UK. It is important that we all take steps towards preventing surface run-off, especially in urban areas. Block paving, concrete and tarmac are also non-permeable so they’re more susceptible to flooding.
Weed resistant
There are few things worse than weeds growing on your driveway and ruining the appearance. The clever, cellular nature of resin bound driveways makes them weed-resistant. They’re also often treated before they are installed to make them resistant to weeds.
However, they’re not immune to weeds. Sometimes small seeds can get on driveways and cause surface-growing weeds. This can often be prevented by regular sweeping.
Beautiful and aesthetic
Your driveway is the main focal point of your home. It’s therefore important to make it attractive. If your driveway is pleasing to the eye, it will increase its value and make your property more valuable. We offer a wide range of resin driveways at Elite Tarmac Drives.

Smooth and flat
Resin bound driveways are a great choice because it provides a smooth and safe finish. The mixture is combined and then it is hand-trowelled. This creates a smooth, seamless finish with no loose stones. This resin binding is ideal for driveways that require wheelchairs, pushchairs or bicycle access. Resin bound driveways can be used for a wide variety of purposes without fear of accidents or skidding. Resin driveways are not only popular for homes, but also for care homes, hospitals, schools, and other settings that require sufficient grip.
What driveway should I choose: resin bound or resin bond?
If you are considering investing in resin driveways, you might be wondering if resin bound is better than resin bonded. Although both types are often called the same, they actually have two distinct systems. Both types use a mixture resin-aggregates to create surfaces. But there are key differences. Resin is spread on the driveway with loose stones scattered on top. A resin bound driveway, on the other hand, requires that both resin and stone be mixed before being put in place.
Water permeability is one of the key differences between them. Resin bonded driveways don’t have water permeability, but resin bound driveways are. Elite Tarmac Drives has both resin bound and bonded surfacing. We can help you select the right type of driveway material for you.
