Resin Bound Driveway FAQs
How long do resin driveways last?
Resin driveways are known for their durability and can last up to 25 years or more with proper installation and maintenance. However, the lifespan can vary depending on factors such as usage, climate conditions, and maintenance practices, so regular care is essential to maximise their longevity.
How to maintain a resin driveway?
Resin driveway maintenance is as easy as brushing away leaves and debris with a stiff-bristled brush and washing the driveway down with a hose.
Avoid using power cleaners as this can damage the resin and dislodge aggregate.
Do weeds come through resin driveways?
No, if the resin driveway was laid correctly then there should be no gaps for weeds to grow through. If you do notice weeds growing, it may be that the seeds were blown onto the driveway and have planted themselves on the drive’s surface.
These weeds should be removed quickly before they have the opportunity to damage the drive.
Is a resin driveway cheaper than block paving?
In general, resin driveways tend to have a lower upfront cost compared to block paving. However, this can depend on individual circumstances and it’s always best to request a quote to be sure.
Resin driveways require less labour-intensive installation compared to block paving, which can result in reduced labour costs. For resin driveways, the resin is poured onto a prepared surface and then smoothed out. For block paving, slabs must be individually laid and overlocked.
Can resin driveways be laid in the rain?
We are unable to lay Resin driveways in the rain, because moisture can interfere with the resin’s curing process. When rain or high humidity mixes with the resin, it can cause cloudiness, uneven textures, or even weak bonding, leading to a shorter lifespan and poor finish.
It’s best to wait for dry weather to ensure the resin sets properly and the driveway lasts longer. We would then be in touch to re-arrange a new date.
What temperature can resin be laid at?
Resin driveways are best laid at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C (41°F to 77°F). Temperatures below 10°C can cause the resin to cure too slowly, while temperatures above 25°C can make it set too quickly, leading to poor results. Ideal conditions are dry, mild weather within this temperature range to ensure the resin sets properly and creates a strong, durable surface.
