Why use resin for your patio, driveway or path in Mansfield?

You can add a high-end cosmetic touch to your driveway, patio or pathway by using resin. It will enhance the value of your property. Resin is also more environmentally friendly than concrete.

Eco-Friendly

Resin bound driveways and patios are 10 times greener than concrete. Resin bound surfaces are made from natural stone and high-quality resin that is free of solvents. They are strong enough to withstand the elements, but not as harmful to the environment.

The permeable nature our resin driveways patios and pathways allows water to naturally drain away. This helps reduce the risk of flooding in an eco-friendly and sustainable way.

Sustainable Urban Drainage Compliant

October 2008 legislation was passed to apply to households. This means that any paving greater than 5sqm at the property’s front must be permeable. Any paving less than that would require planning permission. This is called Sustainable Urban Drainage in planning terms.

Resin bound driveways, patios, and paths are permeable and can be used to meet the SUDs criteria. Resin driveways, patios and paths are not subject to planning permission. They are encouraged by the Environmental Agency as they help reduce surface water runoff and flood risk.

Hard Wearing, Durable & Long Lasting

We use only 100% natural stone from Europe and the UK for our resin driveways, patios and paths. We have conducted extensive testing on various aggregate mixes and strength assessments to ensure that we cover all aspects of performance for commercial and residential installations.

Our resins are made with the most advanced polymer technology to create a durable and resilient surface. They also have a unique durability and longevity that is unmatched in the industry. Our resins create a long-lasting, durable driveway, patio, and path with great aesthetics.

Low Maintenance

Resin driveways and patios are durable and long-lasting. However, they can also be used for low maintenance.

Resin is used as a binding agent to create a sealed surface that doesn’t crack. This eliminates the need for you to worry about weeds growing between the joints. The resin’s flexibility makes it resistive to flaking and cracking, which means you can no longer repoint blocks or flags or add gravel that has been washed.

There are many ways to enjoy your driveway, patio, and path year after year.

UV Stable, Resistant Against Fading

ResinBound UVR Pro is the most trusted choice in polyurethane epoxy resin kits. It has been designed specifically for resin bound driveways. It is also UV stable. Resin bound aggregates will never yellow, change colour or fade under UV light.

ResinBound UVR Pro resin is so high quality that we offer a 25 year guarantee on the colour.

Stain Resistant

Because resin driveways, patios, paths and patios are made from recycled materials, they are highly resistant to staining problems that can be found with stone, concrete, or tarmac. The resin acts like a sealant and prevents oil or other staining substances entering natural stone aggregates.

The porous structure on the finished surface allows any residues that may be staining to non-permeable surfaces can be naturally washed away instead of being absorbed.

Weed Resistant

The clever cellular design of resin bound surfaces makes patios, driveways, and paths resistive to weeds. Because the final surface is porous, water is not retained and can dry out organic matter. This will prevent roots from taking root.

A resin driveway, patio, or path creates a single continuous surface. This is in addition to the flexibility that removes joints and increases the chance of cracks.

Anti Slip Properties

We install resin driveways as well as patios and paths in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. These surfaces have outstanding anti-slip capabilities. We have tested all surfaces to ensure they meet safety standards of BS7976-2 guidelines. A “Pendulum test value” (PVT) is the measurement of anti-slip properties. A 36-point PTV value corresponds to the requirements of The Health and Safety Executive. The higher the value, the better the slip resistance.

The lowest value for any finish is 69. However, many finishes have a value of 75 or more.
