It's easy to install, durable, and resistant to water and dirt, making it a great choice for new or experienced homeowners alike. Resin driveways also add value to your home, so they can make a great selling point for potential home buyers. Plus, resin is a low-maintenance choice, which means you can enjoy your new driveway without spending a fortune on lawn care.
While installing a resin drive may seem expensive, the overall cost of the project depends on a few factors. The area you need to cover and the shape of the driveway will determine the cost. Although resin driveways are less expensive than block paving, they do require more preparation and time. You should consider the cost of replacing existing driveways with a new one if they are cracked, worn, or have holes and are too small to accommodate resin.
Installation costs for a resin driveway are generally affordable and vary from PS150 a day to PS250 per day, depending on the size and complexity of the project. However, it's important to remember that a resin driveway can last up to 25 years, so it's imperative to invest in a professional for an installation. It's possible to hire an unskilled contractor to lay the driveway, but these workers have a bad reputation and could cause further damage to your property.
It blends in with the surroundings
Originally a US product, resin-bound surfaces have gained in popularity in the UK. The porous, SUDS-compliant properties of resin bound surfaces ensure water is drained into the water table and reduce the risk of flooding. They're the perfect choice for large drives, paths, playgrounds and parks. Resin bound surfacing is also suitable for a variety of applications, including driveways.
Choosing a colour that will stand out from the crowd is essential, and the resin-bound driveway is the perfect choice for this purpose. This driveway can come in a range of colour combinations, and you can select one that will complement the rest of your property's exterior. It's UV-resistant and resistant to petrol spills. Plus, you can even choose to create patterns in the driveway. Moreover, resin-bound driveways can be installed without planning permission and are fully Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) compliant, which is a legal requirement for new developments.
Resin-bound driveways are incredibly easy to maintain. Because resin is UV stable, it doesn't change colour or fade, making it ideal for outdoor use. White also works well with most property styles, as it offsets surrounding planting and brickwork. Furthermore, lighter-coloured driveways draw the eye to the house and enhance colour schemes without clashing.
