Why use resin for your patio, driveway or path in Hucknall?

A resin driveway, patio, and path can give your home a unique aesthetic appeal that will improve your home’s curb appeal. Resin is more eco-friendly that concrete and has many other advantages.

Eco-Friendly

Resin bound driveways can be as eco-friendly as concrete patios and walkways. Resin bound surfaces made of natural stone are created using a high-grade resin without solvents. These are stronger than concrete and don’t cause any damage to the environment.

Additionally, the porous nature of resin driveways and patios allows water to naturally drain away, reducing surface water runoff, which helps to reduce flooding risk in a natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly way.

Sustainable Urban Drainage Compliant

October 2008 saw legislation being passed that required all paving to the front of a house to be permeable. Anything that isn’t would need permission. This is called Sustainable Urban Drainage in planning terms.

Resin bound driveways as well as patios and paths can be permeable. The Environmental Agency encourages the use of resin driveways, patios, or paths that do not require planning permission. This is because they can help to reduce surface water runoff as well as reduce flooding potential.

Hard Wearing, Durable & Long Lasting

Our resin driveway, patio, or path materials are carefully sourced from 100% natural stone from Europe. We have conducted extensive testing on various aggregate mixes and strength assessments to ensure that we cover all aspects of performance for commercial and residential installations.

Our resins are made with the most advanced polymer technology to create a durable and resilient surface. They also have a unique durability and longevity that is unmatched in the industry. We use high quality materials to create a driveway, patio, path or walkway that is durable and lasts for many years.

Low Maintenance

Resin driveways/patios/paths are strong and durable, but they are also more maintenance-friendly than traditional surfacing methods.

Resin as the binding agent creates a’sealed surface’ without cracks. This will eliminate the possibility of weeds growing between joints. The resin’s flexibility makes it resistive to flaking and cracking, which means you can no longer repoint blocks or flags or add gravel that has been washed.

You can enjoy year-round enjoyment of your driveway, patio, or path by simply doing a sweep and cleaning.

UV Stable, Resistant Against Fading

We use ResinBound UVR Pro, which is the best choice for polyurethane resins. It has been specifically formulated to be used in resin bound driveways and patios. It is UV stable, so resin bound aggregates won’t yellow or change colour with the sun’s UV light.

ResinBound UVR Pro resin is so high quality that we offer a 25 year guarantee on the colour.

Stain Resistant

Resin driveways/patios/paths are extremely resistant to staining issues compared to traditional surfacing like concrete, asphalt and stone. The resin acts as a sealant for the natural stones, stopping oil and other staining substances from entering.

The porous surface of the final surface allows for residues that could stain non-permeable surfaces to be naturally washed away, rather than being absorbed.

Weed Resistant

Resin bound surfaces can be installed in a clever cellular arrangement that makes them resistant to weed growth. This is why patios, driveways and paths are protected from weed growth. Because the final surface is porous, water is not retained and can dry out organic matter. This will prevent roots from taking root.

Furthermore, the resin driveway, patio, and path provides a single surface that is continuous. The flexibility combined with the lack of joints eliminates the potential for cracks in traditional surfacing materials.

Anti Slip Properties

All resin driveways, patios and pathways we install follow manufacturer recommendations. This ensures exceptional anti-slip characteristics. All surfaces that we offer meet or exceed the safety requirements of BS7976-2 guidelines have been tested. A ‘Pendulum Testing Value’ (PVT) was used to test for anti-slip property. A 36-point PTV value corresponds to the requirements of The Health and Safety Executive. The higher the value, the better the slip resistance.

The lowest possible PVT value we offer for any finish is at 69. Some finishes are higher at 75 and above.
