3 Benefits of Getting a Resin Bound Driveway Installed
Resin Bound Driveways has gained a considerable amount of popularity in the last few years. These driveways are being laid by a unique technique which binds resin to decorative aggregate. These driveways look beautiful and are hard wearing; they are quick to lay, slip resistant, and maintenance free. These driveways were created by the troweled method which is also known as resin bound surfacing or SUDs system, Sustainable Urban Drainage where the resin bound system helps the run of off water so that it permeates through the surface and get back into the earth below which helps in preventing flooding. Resin Bound surfaces, permeable paving, and porous systems can also be laid/mixed using recycled materials such as rubber, plastics, and recycled glass, which gives the Resin Bound system green and eco-friendly appeal.
Here are the benefits of resin driveway installation:
No puddles. No mess.
A resin driveway installation is done by the aggregate and clear resin, which is mixed together before application. During the laying procedure, tiny gaps are created between the small stones that allow the draining of water.
When rainwater falls on the paved surface, the last thing anyone would want is puddles of water. These pools often get unnoticed, which can be dangerous! Thus, it is essential that the water drains away.
Resin bound surfaces enable the smooth flow of water between the small stones and into the ground. Hence, no puddles, no mess!
Also, the permeable surface of the resin bound driveway enable groundwater to level out this helps in regulating the effects of heave and shrinkage.
Slip Resistant
Resin bound driveways have a textured surface which, in comparison to paved drives, provides the grip when walked upon or when you need more hold for cars.
Also, resin bound surface is perfect for older adults with walking aids or people who use wheelchair who need a leveled surface, which makes it easier to maneuver.
Low Maintenance & Weather Resistant
Resin bound driveways are permeable that allow surface water to drain away. This reduces puddles and prevents the formation of moss and algae.
To keep your resin driveway look spick and span, you just need to take a good sweep with a hard brush. And once a year, a simple jet wash is sufficient to get it back to its original color.
And the best thing is that resin bound paving is UV stable, which means that it won’t freeze in winter or fade in the sunlight!
