Very tough

You want it to last for years when you invest money in a driveway. Resin driveways can last for years. This is the good news. Resin driveways are strong because they combine a variety of robust ingredients, such as natural aggregates, stones and glass. They are also resistant to water, as resin is permeable.

Resin driveways are durable and can last for 25 years when maintained properly. Concrete and other materials can be more susceptible to cracking. Concrete can crack under pressure, ruining driveway looks. Elite Tarmac Drives guarantees that our driveways will last for at least ten years. This gives you peace of mind knowing your driveway will look great for many years to come. It can be expected to last longer with proper care.

Simple to maintain

Resin driveways are easy to maintain. They only require routine cleaning and occasional spray washing. A stiff broom is a good way to remove leaves and stop moss from growing. A jet washer will clean dirt, stains, or other elements from the driveway that could cause damage. Frost spray is a good option if chewing gum gets on your resin surface.

Water permeable

Resin bound driveways have a water permeable design which reduces the likelihood of surface water accumulation. Water can flow through the driveway into the ground underneath to be absorbed in the earth. You can avoid flooding and puddles by using a resin driveway. Major flooding is becoming more common in the UK. It’s important that we take steps to prevent surface runoff, especially in urban areas. Block paving, concrete and tarmac are also non-permeable so they’re more susceptible to flooding.

Weed resistant

There’s nothing more frustrating than having weeds grow up your driveway and ruin its appearance. The clever, cellular nature of resin bound driveways makes them weed-resistant. They are often treated prior to installation to increase their resistance to weed growth.

It is important to remember that they are not impervious to weeds. Sometimes, small seeds can fall onto driveways and cause surface weeds growth. This can be avoided by regularly sweeping your driveway.

They are visually appealing

Your driveway is the centerpiece of your home. Therefore, it is important to make it look attractive. It can improve the property’s value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. We offer a variety of resin driveways from Elite Tarmac Drives.

There are many options to choose from, including a variety of colour combinations and options for curves, numbers, shapes and patterns. This makes it easy to make sure that your new driveway is exactly what you want. Since many years we have helped people create their dreams driveways.

Smooth and flat

Because it is flat and secure, resin bound is a popular choice for driveways. Once the aggregates have been combined, the mixture can be poured and hand-trowelled until it forms a smooth, seamless surface. This makes resin bound perfect for driveways that are accessible by pushchairs, bicycles, or wheelchairs. The driveways are resin bound so that they can be used by a variety of applications without any danger of skidding or accidents. Resin driveways can be used for many purposes, including for residential homes and for hospitals, GP surgeries, care homes, schools, and other places that require sufficient grip.

What driveway should I choose: resin bound or resin bond?

You may be pondering whether you should choose resin bound or resin-bonded if you are thinking about investing in a resin driveway. Although both types are often called the same, they actually have two distinct systems. Although both systems use a combination resin and aggregates to make surfaces, there is one key difference. A resin bonded driveway uses resin to bond the surface. The resin is then spread over the surface and loose stones are added on top. For a resin bound driveway, the resin must be combined with the stone before it can be trowelled into position.

Water permeability sets them apart. Resin bonded driveways don’t have water permeability, but resin bound driveways are. Elite Tarmac Drives has both resin bound and bonded surfacing. We will help you decide the best type of driveway for you.
