Resin Driveway

Resin driveways offer a range of benefits and considerations that are important to know before deciding. Here are some key points to consider:

Considerations of Resin Bound Driveways

Durability: SureSet resin bound driveways are known for their durability. They can withstand regular vehicle traffic without cracking or crumbling. However, choosing the appropriate aggregate size and type is essential to ensure sufficient strength and resistance to wear.

Permeability: SureSet resin bound driveways are permeable, allowing water to drain through the surface. This helps to reduce the risk of surface water pooling, flooding, and the need for additional drainage systems. However, it’s important to note that the permeability can vary depending on the aggregate size and type used.

More Considerations of Resin Bound Driveways

Maintenance: Resin bound driveways require minimal maintenance compared to traditional paving options. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing is sufficient to keep the surface clean. It’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the resin bound surface.

Weed Growth: SureSet resin bound driveways are resistant to weed growth due to their sealed and compact surface. However, some weed seeds can find their way into the joints between the aggregates. Regular maintenance and spot treatments can help control any weed growth that may occur.

Planning and Regulations: Before installing a resin bound driveway, you must check local regulations, planning permissions, and any specific requirements in your area. Some jurisdictions may have restrictions on the surfacing material or regulations regarding water runoff management.
