5 Benefits of Choosing a Resin Bound Driveway

Why choose a Resin Bound Driveway?

As a UK homeowner, maximising your kerb appeal is something that’s no doubt crossed your mind.

One easy way to achieve that is by installing a resin bound driveway.

Resin bound driveways are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, and for good reason.

We discussed the pros and cons of Resin Bound Driveways in Lincoln in our last blog. At StoneSet Resin we believe that the pros far outweigh the cons.

5 reasons worth considering.

In this blog, we’ll explore five benefits of choosing a resin bound driveway for your home.

First, let’s remind ourselves of what a resin bound driveway is. A resin bound driveway is a type of surface that uses a mixture of stones and resin to create a durable, smooth surface.

The stones are bound together with the resin, creating a surface that is both attractive and functional.

Now, let’s dive into the benefits of choosing a resin bound driveway for your home.

1. A resin bound driveway looks great!

One of the main reasons homeowners are choosing to have a resin bound driveway installed over the other choices available, is the finish that can be achieved. Resin bound driveways are available in a wider range of colours and textures than any other driveway surface, which means that you get to choose the perfect look for your home. According to Paving Expert, “resin-bound surfacing provides an attractive, natural-looking surface that blends well with any environment, whether urban or rural.”

In addition to being visually appealing, resin bound driveways are also low maintenance. They require minimal cleaning and don’t need any sealants, which makes them a cost-effective choice for homeowners.

2. Durable and Long-Lasting

Another great benefit of choosing a resin bound driveway is its durability. Resin bound driveways are designed to withstand heavy use and traffic, making them ideal for busy households.

They’re also resistant to UV rays, which can cause fading and damage to other types of driveways.

According to the Resin Bonded Slab Company, “resin bound surfaces are incredibly durable and have a long lifespan, with most surfaces lasting for 15-20 years or more.” This means that you won’t have to worry about replacing your driveway anytime soon, making resin bound driveways a cost-effective choice in the long run.

3. Eco-Friendly

Resin bound driveways are an eco-friendly option for homeowners who like to do their bit for the environment. The porous nature of the surface allows rainwater to drain through, reducing the risk of flooding and water runoff. This is particularly important in urban areas where flooding can be a significant problem.

Resin bound driveways are made using natural materials so not only are they eco-friendly, they’re also sustainable too.

The team over at Resin Bound Surfaces, agree with us, they state that because “resin-bound surfaces are created using a mix of natural aggregates, including marble, granite, and quartz, and are bound together with a clear UV-stable resin”, you can have an attractive and eco-friendly driveway, without compromising on quality or durability.

4. Easy Installation

This one comes with the usual caveat. It’s easy when you know how! An approved installer like StoneSet Resin certainly makes it look easy! The process of installing a resin bound driveway simply involves laying a sub-base onto which the stones and resin are laid and then trowelled to create a smooth finish.

It is possible to lay resin bound surfacing onto an existing concrete or tarmac base, but again we would always recommend using an approved installer, that way you wouldn’t have to spend lots of time and money on preparation work.

5. Increased Property Value

Finally, choosing a resin bound driveway can increase the value of your property, not to mention the kerb appeal.

Real Homes, have said that …”installing a new driveway is one of the best ways to add value to your home, and a resin-bound surface is a particularly popular choice.”

The aesthetic appeal and durability of resin bound driveways make them an attractive feature for potential buyers, increasing the overall value of your property.
