- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Edenbridge
Edenbridge is a community and civil parish in the Sevenoaks area of Kent, England. Its name originates from Old English Eadhelmsbrigge (meaning "Eadhelm's Bridge"). It is located on the Kent/ Surrey verge on the top floodplain of the River Medway and also offers its name to the latter's tributary, the River Eden. The community has a population of around 9,000. Edenbridge is twinned with Mont-Saint-Aignan in France. The bypass that was constructed in the very early 2000s to eliminate web traffic stress on the old, narrow High Street is named Mont St Aignan Way. There are two banks in the community, a post office alongside the church and a number of significant retail chains. Despite being a relatively small town, Edenbridge boasts its very own medical facility - The Edenbridge War Memorial Hospital. At first a home health center constructed to take care of soldiers returning from The First World War, a function built building was established to the south of the town in 1931. With an Out Patients Department, Physical rehabilitation centers as well as a Minor Injuries Unit the hospital is a huge part of the material of the community. In the last few years the healthcare facility has actually been confronted with closure many times, on each occasion it has actually been conserved by neighborhood advocates and townspeople, that see the healthcare facility as an important part of the neighborhood.
