Resin is a great choice for your driveway, patio or path in Nottingham.
The use of resin to create a driveway, patio, or path gives your property a stunning aesthetic finish. This will also increase your home’s value. Resin is more eco-friendly that concrete and has many other advantages.
Eco-Friendly
Resin bound driveways and patios are 10 times greener than concrete. Our resin bound surfaces use natural stone and a high-grade resin that does not contain solvents. They are just as durable as concrete without causing any harm to our planet.
The permeable nature our resin driveways patios and pathways allows water to naturally drain away. This helps reduce the risk of flooding in an eco-friendly and sustainable 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 also known as Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDs) in planning terms.
The primary solution to the SUDs criteria is resin bound driveways, patios, or paths. They are permeable by nature. 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
All of the materials we use for your resin driveway or patio are 100% natural stone sourced from Europe and UK. For commercial and domestic installations alike, we have done extensive testing with different aggregates. Strength assessments were also performed.
We use the latest polymer technology in resin manufacturing to provide a tough, durable surface with exceptional durability and long-term performance. The end result is a long-lasting, durable, and long-lasting driveway or patio, as well as a path with outstanding aesthetics.
Low Maintenance
Resin driveways and patios are durable and long-lasting. However, they can also be used for low maintenance.
The binding agent resin acts as a sealant, preventing cracks and allowing you to eliminate weeds from 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.
The driveway, patio and path are beautiful year after year.
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. This means resin bound aggregates will not change colour, yellow, or fade in the UV light.
ResinBound UVR Pro resins are so well tested and quality assured that they come with a 25-year guarantee.
Stain Resistant
Resin driveways/patios/paths are extremely resistant to staining issues compared to traditional surfacing like concrete, asphalt and stone. The resin acts like a sealant and prevents oil or other staining substances entering natural stone aggregates.
The porous structure of the finish surface allows residues that might be staining to non permeable surfaces, to be naturally washed away rather than being absorbed.
Weed Resistant
The clever cellular design of resin bound surfaces makes patios, driveways, and paths resistive to weeds. Because the surface is porous, water does not remain within it and so weed roots cannot take 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. We have tested all surfaces to ensure they meet safety standards of BS7976-2 guidelines. A “Pendulum test value” (PVT) is the measurement of anti-slip properties. 36 PTV values are required by The Health and Safety Executive. A higher value means that the slip resistance is better.
Our lowest finish has a PVT of 69. Many others have a PVT of 75 or higher.
