Resin Driveway in Hitchin

Botanical bonding is a distinctive way to produce a driveway surface. To make a resin bonded surface, a layer of resin is laid on a foundation, which is often concrete or asphalt. The resin is usually then followed by a great aggregate, which tends to be gravel or a specific finely crushed stone. The aggregate sticks to the resin to create the solid surface. Some men and women elect to add an added, thin layer of loose aggregate on top, yet this is optional. A resin bonded surface should not be confused with a new resin bound surface. A resin bound surface will be made by mixing a great aggregate with resin and then troweling it on. The 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 bonded driveway can also endure heavy weather and intense temperatures. Many individuals select resin bonded driveways more than gravel driveways as the stone on resin driveways can be relied upon not to shift. Resin bonded driveways are also popular because they're attractive. There are lots regarding different aggregate colours available so that you can select a shade that matches your home. It's likewise possible to create designs on the surface.

FAQs

Are resin bound driveways expensive?

Whether you think resin bound driveways are expensive or not will depend on your perception. While resin bound driveways are the most expensive up front, they should last much longer than other types of driveway. You should expect a resin bound driveway to last at least 25 years, if not longer, while a concrete or asphalt driveway may last between 15-20 years. A pattern imprinted driveway may last even less time due to the maintenance required to keep them looking pristine.

It’s also worth considering that resin bound driveways are good permeable surfaces, so will drain well and keep water from pooling around your property. This will keep your property maintenance costs down, since pooling water or flooding around your home could cause damp in your walls which is a very expensive problem to fix.

Resin bound driveways are by far the most attractive type of driveway to have. There are no loose stones to sweep up, no weeds to pull out from the gaps, and there’s no extensive power washing required to keep them looking good. If you want a driveway that gives your home true kerb appeal and you value your time, resin bound driveways don’t seem that expensive.

The other factor that can make resin bonded driveways less expensive is that sometimes you can lay them on top of the existing surface. For example, if you already have a concrete or asphalt driveway that is in good condition with no large cracks, a driveway contractor may be able to lay the resin and aggregate mix straight over the top, which will cost much less money than if you have to dig up the existing driveway and start from scratch.

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.

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.
