Smooth, Strong, Stunning: The Resin Driveway Advantage

There are several hard-surfacing methods available on the market, such as imprinted concrete, Bitmac, and concrete-to-block paving. But resin-bound driveways in Kent are unique. No other surfacing system can match the range of strengths, resistances, and structural and aesthetic benefits that this one offers.



Flexibility in Design

Your resin-bound system is a beautiful alternative to concrete, tarmac, or asphalt since it can be moulded into any shape you may imagine for your surface. The wide range of hues and blends allows you to mix and enjoy a multitude of design options.

Smaller aggregate sizes (such as 1-3mm) can be used to fill in the 2–5mm gaps between the stones to improve appearance or strength. Water can enter the sub-base through porous resin-bound surfaces. A resin system is SUDS compliant as long as the sub-base is also permeable and SUDS compliant.

Durable

The resin-bound aggregate structure is incredibly durable and strong, and it will remain so for many years. Its excellent resistance to weeds and organic impurities, low care requirements, and ease of cleaning make this possible.

Simple to Maintain

The resin essentially adheres to the old surface and glues the new surface finish in place. The resin-bound surface is weed-resistant and requires minimal maintenance if properly cared for. Better resin systems keep a consistent tint and are resistant to oil and petrol spills because of their UV resistance.

Flat and Silky

Unlike loose gravel or stones that are linked to resin, a resin surface is smooth, flat, and seamless. The way glue and particles are mixed before being troweled is the cause of this. Parking and vehicle and pedestrian traffic are ideal on this surface.

Simple to Clean

A resin-bound system is easy to clean. Most stains, filth, and other cleaning jobs can be handled with a simple jet wash.

Cost-effective

Although resin is typically more expensive than other driveway materials, it is typically the more cost-effective choice. This is because, despite typically costing more to install, it is likely to last a lot longer than other driveway materials and requires less upkeep. Concrete or Bitmac driveways may need to be replaced sooner rather than later, which may increase your expenses.

Low upkeep

The fact that resin driveways in Kent are so simple to maintain has satisfied a lot of people. This implies that you can maintain your driveway in excellent condition with little work. You will need to use a stiff brush to sweep the resin surface regularly to remove debris such as leaves, dirt, and sand. It's also advised to sometimes rinse the resin with clean water. For resin-bound surfacing, brushing and washing are frequently the only care required.
