Why Choose Resin

The Benefits of Using Resin Bound

01.

Permeability and SuDS Compliance

Resin bound surfaces are porous, enabling water to flow through instead of pooling on top. This characteristic makes them SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliant and helps manage flood risk.  

02.

Long lifespan

Resin bound surfaces are incredibly strong and durable and can last for many years, even with heavy traffic and exposure to the elements and are designed to resist cracking, fading, and discolouring, ensuring long-lasting beauty.  

03.

Easy to maintain

Resin bound surfaces are easy to clean and require minimal upkeep. A simple sweep and jet wash are usually sufficient to keep them in good condition, especially during summer months. During winter, more frequent sweeping may be needed to remove leaves and other debris.

04.

Visual Appeal

Resin bound surfaces offer a smooth, flat and seamless contemporary finish and are available in a wide range of colours. One of the most exciting aspects of resin bound surfacing is the ability to create custom designs, adding kerb appeal to any property.

05.

Slip Resistance

We totally understand how vital it is to have a safe, anti-slip surface, especially where kids and older folks might be walking. Resin Bound surfaces are anti-slip thanks to the glass grit mixed right into the resin. They also reduce the risk of tripping when you compare them to block paving and other traditional surfacing options.

06.

Weed Resistance

Resin bound surfaces are created by mixing top-quality natural aggregates with a clear, durable resin. This process ensures that the surface is tightly bound, making it tough against any pesky weeds that might try to push their way through from below. It’s a great way to keep your outdoor spaces looking neat and tidy!

07.

UV and Stain Resistance

It’s always a good idea to address more serious spills (ie: oil or grease) promptly, but unlike other materials, many resin bound systems are designed to be resistant to staining and fading. Even after many years, with the correct care, you will not see discoloured or faded areas .

08.

Cost-Effective

While there is an initial cost, the longevity factor is what makes resin bound driveways more cost-effective than other surface types. Over the years, you’ll only need minimal repairs or maintenance, such as cleaning of spills or brushing away of any debris to stop build up.
