Let’s say you’re ready to make the jump to a resin driveway and improve your home’s driveway. Can you expect it to last a long time and will it stand the test of time being a high-traffic part of your property?
The short answer is yes, and it will have additional benefits too…
How long is a long time?
Let’s look at what a resin driveway is. Using a unique mixture of aggregates and a unique structure to assist drainage, a resin bound driveway is a material designed to last and look the part.
Small gaps in the aggregate used on resin driveways mean water can easily drain and does not get collected within cracks on the surface. It also means that heat expansion is not an issue as there is space for the aggregate to expand into, unlike typical concrete or tarmac.
These factors mean that a resin bound driveway is strong against the elements and almost never going to be vulnerable to heat and cold.
Why do resin driveways last?
The look and feel of a resin driveway in incomparable. They look the part and keep their look for years.
Built with flexibility in mind, they withstand all types of weather. Typical driveway materials like tarmac and concrete as mentioned above do not have the capability to withstand such changeable conditions, especially those which we experience within the UK.
What can impact my resin bound driveway?
As with all surfaces, there are restrictions and factors which may shorten the lifespan of your driveway however these are almost guaranteed to not be an issue with regular cleansing.
Some chemicals could damage a resin driveway if used too much, so it is best to give a gentle wash over every now and then instead of heavy regular chemical usage. In most cases, a quick jet wash will suffice.
