The advantages of resin driveways

Extremely durable

A driveway should last for several years. Resin driveways can last for years. This is the good news. They are made from a combination of natural aggregates, stones, and glass. These driveways are resistant to water because resin is porous.

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 Tarmac Drives offers a 10-year guarantee on all driveways. You can be sure that your driveway will remain in good condition for the next decade. If you take care of your driveway properly, it can last for a long time.

Simple to maintain

Resin driveways require little maintenance. A stiff broom and a jet washer can be used to clean the driveway. This will remove any leaves or moss and will prevent future growth. Freeze spray can often be used to remove chewing gum from resin surfaces.

Water permeable

Resin bound driveways have a water permeable design which reduces the likelihood of surface water accumulation. The driveway allows water to pass through and soak into the soil below. You can avoid flooding and puddles by using a resin driveway. In the UK, major flooding events are increasing in frequency. It is crucial that we all take steps in order to prevent surface runoff, especially in urban areas. Block paving, concrete and tarmac are also non-permeable so they’re more susceptible to flooding.

Weed resistant

There is nothing worse than weeds growing through your driveway, ruining its appearance. Because of their clever, cellular design, resin bound driveways can resist weed growth. They are often treated prior to installation to increase their resistance to weed growth.

It is important to remember that they are not impervious to weeds. Sometimes small seeds can get on driveways and cause surface-growing weeds. It is important to sweep your driveway regularly to prevent this.

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 wide range of resin driveways at Elite Tarmac Drives.

Smooth and flat

Resin bound is a good choice when it comes to driveways. It gives a flat, stable finish. The mixture is combined and then it is hand-trowelled. This creates a smooth, seamless finish with no loose stones. This makes resin bound ideal to be used for driveways with pushchairs, bikes, or wheelchair access. Resin bound driveways can be used for a wide variety of purposes without fear of accidents or skidding. Resin driveways have become very popular in homes as well as for schools and care homes.

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

Resin bonded or resin bound are two options if you’re considering investing in a resin driveway. Although they have very similar names, the two systems are actually quite different. Although both systems use a combination resin and aggregates to make surfaces, there is one key difference. Resin is spread on the driveway with loose stones scattered 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 are porous, while resin-bonded driveways won’t. Elite Tarmac Drives offer both resin bound surfacing and resin bonded. We can assist you in choosing the right type to fit your new driveway.
