No matter where you live or where you have a garden, a resin patio will look great. In spite of the fact that resin patios are less popular than other types of patios, they are still worth considering. They’re durable and hard-wearing which means that they don’t require much maintenance. Besides being economical, resin patios also come in a wide variety of colours to suit everyone’s tastes and requirements – you can even choose a colour that matches your home’s decor.
What is a Resin Patio?
Resin patio looks a lot like concrete, but resin has some key differences. Resin patios are softer and more flexible than many other types of patio – they have been known to move as the soil underneath them expands or contracts from fluctuating temperatures. It’s also very durable withstanding most weather conditions without any damage at all.
These kinds of patio are becoming ever more popular with busy families thanks to their durability. But for many homeowners, aesthetics comes above practicality meaning more and more people are choosing resin bound patios for their looks.
Resin Patios in the Garden
You can increase the value and aesthetic appeal of your home with resin patios. Resin works well with any garden style, from contemporary to traditional – resin is versatile enough to fit any setting. Since resin is so long-lasting and easy to clean, you don’t have to worry about food being dropped on it during mealtimes. They make the perfect patio or dining area.
The resin’s lack of porosity means that it won’t absorb water, making it impervious to water damage. Resin is therefore perfect if you want your guests to be able to place their glasses without having to worry about them spilling anything.
The Drawback to Resin Patios
Patios made from resin are wonderful, but resin is still resin. As with any other patio, it is susceptible to damage and requires maintenance. The resin may become brittle over time (think freezing cold winters), meaning that it can crack or chip when temperatures fluctuate. However, most resin companies make their products to ensure they work in the UK.
Besides being more expensive, resin tends to be more difficult to work with than concrete. Because resin requires far less preparation, this means that you can start using them as soon as possible, as opposed to traditional patios. As well as this, resin also has an easy installation process compared to traditional patios.
Maintaining your Resin Bound Patio
Maintaining your resin bound patio by ensuring that it is free from debris is the most important thing you can do. Over time, dirt and grit can accumulate on top of resin, causing problems in the long run. Resin does not wear down like other materials (such as porous paving). It is therefore vital that you remove any build up of material if you want your resin patio to be durable.
You should also protect your resin patio from weed growth through cracks. You should protect your resin surface with weed killer or remove the weeds before they have sufficient time to take hold under your resin surface.
