Resin Driveway in Cheadle

Resin bonding is a distinctive way to develop a front yard surface. To make a resin bonded surface, the layer of resin is laid on a base, which is generally concrete or perhaps asphalt. The resin will be then followed by a great aggregate, which tends to be able to be gravel or a specific finely crushed natural stone. The aggregate sticks to the resin to create a new solid surface. Some folks decide to add an added, thin layer of loose aggregate on top, yet this is optional. The resin bonded surface should not be mistaken for the resin bound surface. The resin bound surface is usually made by mixing an aggregate with resin and then troweling it on. A new resin bonded driveway provides several advantages. It's hardwearing and fairly resistant to be able to weeds. Not only this specific, it won't fade over time and shouldn't get broken by oil or petrol spills. A resin fused driveway can also tolerate heavy weather and intense temperatures. Many folks choose resin bonded driveways more than gravel driveways as the stone on resin pavements can be relied on not to shift. Plant bonded driveways are also popular because they're interesting. There are lots of different aggregate colours obtainable so you can pick a shade that matches your property. It's also possible to create designs on top.

FAQs

What’s the difference between resin bound and resin bonded driveways?

While resin bound and resin bonded driveways have similar names, it might surprise you to know that they’re very different. Both paving systems use resin and aggregates (stones) to form a fixed surface, but there are plenty more differences than there are similarities.

Resin bound driveways are made from a resin and aggregate mix that is trowelled onto a bitmac or concrete base. It leaves a smooth, flat finish and you won’t find any loose gravel. It’s also a pourous surface, which means that rainwater can pass through into the ground, avoiding pools and flooding.

However, resin bonded driveways involve spreading resin across a base, then scattering aggregate into it. Most of the stones will stick to the resin, but some will stay loose. That means you’ll get the effect of loose gravel without so much to sweep and take care of. Because the stones are scattered onto a complete layer of resin, water can’t pass through it. That means you could end up with water pooling, and it also means that a resin bonded driveway isn’t frost resistant, meaning it could get slippery.

So which is better – a resin bound or resin bonded driveway? The answer depends on a few things. If you have a period property where a smooth, shiny surface might not complement the look of your home, you might want to go for resin bonded. If you need lots of grip, for example if you’re a wheelchair user, resin bonded may also be the way to go – even though resin bound surfaces still offer enough grip for sloped driveways and ramps. But if you want a low-maintenance, weed-free, permeable surface, resin bound driveways are the way to go.

How to lay resin bound driveways?
It's pretty tricky to lay resin bound driveways. Most contractors will go on courses to learn how to lay resin bound paving or driveways to ensure that they get a high-quality installation that will last the customer decades. So while you could do it yourself, it’s probably best leaving it to the professionals. But if you want to know how to lay resin bound driveways, take a look at these rough steps to give you an idea.
  1. Prepare the base If you want your resin bound driveway to last a long time, you need to ensure that you prepare the base properly. Remove any block paving, grass or soil and dig down until you hit solid ground. Lay a sub-base of asphalt for good permeability. If you’re laying over the top of your current driveway, make sure that all cracks are increased into a ‘v’ shape with a saw and ensure the surface is dry and weed-free.
  2. Mix the resin You must follow the instructions on the materials you have to the letter if you want the curing process to work. Usually batches come in ‘Part A’ and ‘Part B’. Keep the resin container secure and on a protective surface to avoid splashing, then mix Part A for 10-20 seconds at a slow speed with a helical bladed mixer. Add Part B and mix thoroughly at a slow speed for about 2 minutes until it’s blended together.
  3. Mix the dried aggregates and sand with the resin Place a quarter of the aggregates into a mixer, then add the pre-mixed resin and start a stopwatch. You should then add the rest of the aggregates before slowly adding the sand. When you’re happy with that mix, stop the stopwatch. That time is the time that you need to spend mixing any other resin and aggregates to avoid colour variation.
  4. Lay the mix on the surface Transfer the mix to the work area then plan a laying route. When the mix is laid out, use a very clean trowel to spread the mix. Clean it regularly during the process to avoid dragging aggregates out of place. Once the aggregates stop moving in a fluid movement and become solid, stop trowelling. Then you can polish the surface to give it an attractive shine.
It’s clear that laying resin bound driveways is not an easy task. It’s best to get a few quotes from reputable, experienced companies to lay your driveway for you.
Are resin bound driveways permeable?
Yes – resin bound driveways are permeable. When a contractor lays a resin bound driveway, they mix the resin and aggregate (stones) in a forced action mixer. They then trowel this over a prepared concrete or bitmac base. Small gaps between the stones and resin mean that water can pass through, stopping pooling or flooding on your driveway. Having a permeable surface for your driveway is important because as the amount of built-up areas in the UK increases, water doesn’t have anywhere to run off to during heavy rainfall. This has lead to lots of flash flooding and damage to people’s homes. With a permeable surface like a resin bound driveway, water can filter through the sub-base and into the ground. Resin bound driveways, when installed correctly, are SuDS (Sustainable urban Drainage Systems) compliant and contribute to flood prevention. However, resin bound driveways are not to be confused with resin bonded driveways, which aren’t permeable. The resin is spread on the surface on its own, then the aggregate is scattered over the surface, where most of it will stick but some stones may remain loose. Because the resin is laid on as a complete surface, it doesn’t have the tiny holes that a resin bound driveway has, so the water won’t drain. It also means that the surface isn’t frost-resistant, so you might notice that it gets slippery. If you live in a particularly flood-prone area and you’re considering a resin driveway, it’s best to go for a resin bound driveway for its permeable surface. That way you’ll stop flash flooding around your property and contribute to helping the environment.
How much is a resin bound driveway?
Resin bound driveways are an excellent solution for your home. The stones, or aggregates, are sealed in a UV-resistant resin so they won’t move around and need sweeping all the time. But how much is a resin bound driveway? On average, the cost of installing a resin bound driveway is £40 per square metre. You should expect it to take between 2-5 days to complete, at a rate of around £150 - £250 per day. The total average cost, depending on how difficult the driveway is to lay, is approximately £2,300. Exactly how much a resin bound driveway costs will depend on a few things. If you’ve already got a concrete or block paved driveway, the contractors might be able to lay the resin on top, which will save time and money. But if not, or there are lots of cracks in the current surface, they’ll have to dig up the old one and prepare a new base and sub-base. The type of stone, or aggregate, you choose will also affect the cost. You might be tempted to opt for smaller size stones because they’re cheaper, but if you choose aggregate between 6mm-10mm wide, the drainage will be better which will stop water from pooling. It’s also cheaper to get a darker colour stone, because lighter stones will require a stronger UV-resistant resin to stop them from getting bleached by the sun in different places. While resin bound driveways cost more than asphalt or concrete ones, they last much longer. You can expect a properly installed and maintained driveway to last 25 years or more, while asphalt and concrete might only last 15.
