Benefits of Resin-Bound Driveways
Resin-bound driveways and patios have become increasingly popular due to durability and being easy to maintain. But there are several more reasons as to why resin driveways are a popular choice for properties and are continuing to be used more by people
Eco-Friendly
Resin-bound driveways and patios are more eco-friendly than other driveway alternatives like tarmac and concrete, seeing as resin driveways are more permeable allowing water to drain through them due to being SUDS (sustainable urban drainage systems) compatible. As opposed to concrete and tarmac which are more harmful for the environment as opposed to resin due to the materials it’s made out of. Along with households wanting to be more environmentally conscious and resin being more sustainable than both alternatives makes it a popular choice for driveways.
Low Maintenance
Due to resin-bound driveways and patios being more permeable this also makes them lower maintenance since it will decrease the growth of mould and weeds and makes them slip and ice resistant making them ready for any kind of weather. Unlike other materials where there can still be a build up of the elements making resin-bound driveways an attractive option. The most you’d have to do is occasionally brush or hose down the driveway. That being the only concern you’d need to take care of, making resin-bound driveways relatively low maintenance!.

Smooth & Long-Lasting Finish
Because resin-bound surfaces have smoother finishes than other alternatives it makes them a popular option for driveways, since due to their smooth and long-lasting finish it makes them popular because there will be no residue, making traction easier for disabled access, pushchairs etc. Since they’re long-lasting too it makes the smoothness last for longer so you can have the ease of knowing they have better traction.
Visually Appealing
Of course, one of the biggest draws for wanting resin-bound driveways and patios is definitely that they look very aesthetically pleasing, which comes with the fact that resin-bound surfaces can come in different colours and aggregates means that you can choose the right colour in order to match and enhance the area you choose. The smoothness of the surface also makes them look nice visually too, as there is no roughness or loose stones and since they prevent mould build up and weeds there won’t be any cracks for them to get into. Adding to the fact they’re long lasting it means that they’ll stay visually appealing for longer and since they’re largely resistant to the elements combined with their low maintenance adds makes them an ideal choice for driveways and patios since they’re easy to take care of.
Final Thoughts
There are many benefits of having a resin-bound driveway and patio, all the way from them being more sustainable and low maintenance to being visually attractive. There’s a lot of reasons as to why resin-bound driveways and patios are becoming all the more popular with people especially with how low-effort they are and that they’re better for the environment as well as being relatively quick to put in for long-lasting results.
