Why use resin for your patio, driveway or path in Nottingham?

Resin can be used to finish your driveway, patio, or path. It also adds a beautiful aesthetic touch that will increase the property’s value. Resin offers many other benefits beyond the fact that it’s more eco-friendly than concrete.

Eco-Friendly

Resin bound patios, driveways, and paths are 10 times more environmentally friendly than concrete. Our resin bound surfaces are made with natural stone and a high quality resin containing no solvents. This ensures that they are as strong as concrete, yet are less harmful to the planet.

Our resin driveways, patios, and paths are permeable, allowing water to drain away naturally. This reduces the possibility of flooding and is sustainable, eco-friendly, and natural.

Sustainable Urban Drainage Compliant

October 2008 legislation was passed to apply to households. This means that any paving greater than 5sqm at the property’s front must be permeable. Any paving less than that would require planning permission. This is also known in planning as Sustainable Urban Drainage or UUDs.

Resin bound driveways, patios, and paths are permeable and can be used to meet the SUDs criteria. The Environmental Agency encourages the use of resin driveways, patios, or paths that do not require planning permission. This is because they can help to reduce surface water runoff as well as reduce flooding potential.

Hard Wearing, Durable & Long Lasting

Our resin driveway, patio, or path materials are carefully sourced from 100% natural stone from Europe. We have conducted extensive testing on various aggregate mixes and strength assessments to ensure that we cover all aspects of performance for commercial and residential installations.

We use the latest polymer technology in resin manufacturing to provide a tough, durable surface with exceptional durability and long-term performance. The end result is a long-lasting, durable, and long-lasting driveway or patio, as well as a path with outstanding aesthetics.

Low Maintenance

Resin driveways/patios/paths are strong and durable, but they are also more maintenance-friendly than traditional surfacing methods.

Resin is used as a binding agent to create a sealed surface that doesn’t crack. This eliminates the need for you to worry about weeds growing between the joints. Because the resin is flexible, it is resistant to flaking or cracking. This means that you don’t have to repoint flags, block paving or top up gravel that has been washed away.

There are many ways to enjoy your driveway, patio, and path year after year.

UV Stable, Resistant Against Fading

ResinBound UVR Pro is the most trusted choice in polyurethane epoxy resin kits. It has been designed specifically for resin bound driveways. It is UV stable. This means resin bound aggregates will not change colour, yellow, or fade in the UV light.

ResinBound UVR Pro resins are so well tested and quality assured that they come with a 25-year guarantee.

Stain Resistant

Resin driveways/patios/paths are extremely resistant to staining issues compared to traditional surfacing like concrete, asphalt and stone. The resin acts as a sealant on the natural stone, stopping any staining substances like oil from getting into the aggregates.

The porous structure allows residues, which could be staining non permeable surfaces, can be naturally washed away.

Weed Resistant

Resin bound surfaces can be installed in a clever cellular arrangement that makes them resistant to weed growth. This is why patios, driveways and paths are protected from weed growth. Because of its porous nature, water is not retained in the surface and this can cause roots to become resistant.

Additionally, a resin driveway or patio can be used as a single continuous surface. It also eliminates the possibility of cracks and joints that are common in traditional surfacing materials. Weeds often grow on these surfaces.

Anti Slip Properties

All of the resin driveways, patios, and paths that we install comply with manufacturer recommendations. They have exceptional anti-slip qualities. Testing has shown that all surfaces meet safety requirements set forth in BS 7976-2 guidelines. A ‘Pendulum-Test Value’ (PVT), was used to measure anti-slip qualities. 36 means that the PTV value is required by the Health and Safety Executive. It is 36 because the greater the value, the more slip resistance it is.

We offer finishes with a lowest PVT value (69), and many others with a higher PVT value (75 or more).
