Resin Bounded Driveways

WHY CHOOSE A RESIN BONDED DRIVEWAY?

Resin bound surfaces are quickly becoming the paving choice for installing new or upgrading existing driveways, and there are many reasons for this. It is a viable alternative to block paving, slabs, concrete, or tarmac, paving. The resulting consistency of bonded gravel makes it the ideal choice for non-slip and anti-skid surfaces. Resin Bond Driveways are compliant with Sustainable Drainage Systems (or SuDs), meaning that you don’y have to worry about your drive being waterlogged in heavy rainfall.

There is a wide variety of colours and aggregates available to suit the exterior of any home or area, when combined with blocked features or slabbing the possibilities are endless.
With a resin bound driveway, patio, or any outdoor area from Chestnut Paving you’re getting natural attractive solution blended with the durability and convenience of a modern material.

LOW MAINTANANCE

Due to the layout and durability of a resin bound surface, they are very easy to maintain. Simply pressure wash the area every now and then to keep it clear of debris. Another plus point of having a resin bound driveway is that weeds do not grow on the surface, so plants can be washed or brushed away.

GOOD DRAINAGE

Due to the nature of the materials used within a resin bound surface, a high degree of porosity is created. This means that any water to run off easily, so that it does not collect and create a slip hazard. The run off will benefit nearby vegetation, as the plants will have good access to the water. Resin bond is also complaint with SuDs, meaning that drainage can be directed if required. Another benefit of water not laying on the surface due to the porous nature of resin bound surfacing, there is far less chance of freeze.

DURABLE

Resin bound driveways and areas are a long lasting durable surface, and while guarantees vary between 10 – 21 years, if properly installed and maintained, they can last for more than 25 years. A resin bound driveway needs to be laid over an existing tarmac or concrete surface, therefore making the surface very durable, and vastly reduces the chances of being worn down. The resin used is also resistant to UV light, so it will not lose any colour, break down, or create the ‘heat island effect.’ Due to its hard-wearing nature resin bound surfaces will retain their pristine appearance for years to come.

VERSATILE

Resin bound is an extremely versatile option on the surfacing market, mainly because the colour and combination options are very varied. The safety qualities provided by the non-slip nature of the surface, and its durability make it an unbeatable choice in many respects. It can be used for a wide variety of surface solutions too, ranging from driveways to patios, ramps, and footpaths etc.
