Resin Driveway South Oxhey

Resin Bound driveways are water permeable, allowing water to pass through the small gaps between aggregates and resin. Resin-bound systems also bring other benefits such as a smooth, flat finish and low maintenance. On the other hand, Resin Bonded driveways are non-permeable.

We say your new resin bound system is weed resistant rather than weed free. Whilst nothing will grow up through the surface, air born seedlings may land on top, causing a small amount of growth. We recommend applying a weed killer once or twice a year if this should happen.

Resin-bound is an eco-friendly, highly porous solution for ground surfacing. It is a choice of decorative aggregates mixed with specialist resins then hand trowelled to give a smooth flat surface suitable for driveways, paths and patios.

Resin bond is laid in a different manner to resin-bound materials. It involves applying a layer of resin to the existing surface to which aggregates are then scattered on top of. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface.

It is normally recommended that a waiting period of 48 hours passes before driving, parking or placing any plant pots on your new driveway but walking across is allowed usually after 2-3 hours.

Resin-bound driveway is the recommend surface type for a slope driveway

This depends on the type and condition of your existing driveway. It should be laid on an appropriate sub-base of either asphalt or concrete.
