The advantages of resin driveways

Around the beginning of the 1990s, resin driveways were very popular in the UK. They are stronger, more durable and more attractive than other surfacing types. These are some of the main benefits that resin driveways offer and why they are a great choice for your property.

Extremely durable

It is important to be sure that your new driveway will last many years. Resin driveways are extremely durable, so you can be sure that they will last for many years. They are made from a combination of 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 cracks easily under pressure, ruining driveway appearance. Elite Resin Drives guarantees your driveways will last a decade. You can expect it will last longer if you take the proper care.

Easy to maintain

Resin driveways can be maintained easily with routine cleaning and occasional jet washing. A stiff broom is a good way to remove leaves and stop moss from growing. A jet washer will clean dirt, stains, or other elements from the driveway that could cause damage. It is possible to remove chewing gum that has made its way onto the resin surface by using freeze spray.

Water permeable

Resin bound driveways have a water permeable design which reduces the likelihood of surface water accumulation. Water can flow through the driveway into the ground underneath to be absorbed in the earth. Puddles and flooding can often be avoided by choosing 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. Other surfacing options, such as concrete, tarmac and block paving, are typically non-permeable. This makes them more vulnerable to flooding.

Weed resistant

There are few things worse than weeds growing on your driveway and ruining the appearance. Due to their unique, cellular composition, resin bound driveways resist weed growth. They are also treated before installation to be more resistant to weeds.

It is important to remember that they are not impervious to weeds. Sometimes small seeds can land on driveways, which can cause surface weeds such as scabs to grow. This can often be prevented by regular sweeping.

Attractive aesthetics

Your driveway is the centerpiece of your home. Therefore, it is important to make it look attractive. If your driveway is pleasing to the eye, it will increase its value and make your property more valuable. We offer a variety of resin driveways from Elite Resin Drives.

There are many color options and options available for curves, shapes, numbers and patterns. It’s easy to find the right combination to suit your needs. Since many years we have helped people create their dreams driveways. With a high-quality resin driveway, we can transform your exterior in Sheffield or Doncaster.

Smooth and flat

Because it is flat and secure, resin bound is a popular choice for driveways. Once the aggregates have been combined, the mixture can be poured and hand-trowelled until it forms a smooth, seamless surface. This makes resin bound ideal to be used for driveways with pushchairs, bikes, or wheelchair access. You can use resin bound driveways for many purposes, without worrying about accidents or skidding. Resin driveways are ideal for both homes and hospitals.

What driveway should I choose: resin bound or resin bond?

You may be pondering whether you should choose resin bound or resin-bonded if you are thinking about investing in a resin driveway. 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. A resin bonded driveway has the resin distributed on the surface with loose stones placed on top. For a resin bound driveway, the resin must be combined with the stone before it can be trowelled into position.

Water permeability sets them apart. Resin bound driveways can be permeable, while resin bonded driveways cannot. Elite Resin Drives offers both resin bound and resin-bonded surfacing. We can help you select the right type of driveway material for you.
