A resin driveway is attractive and will add value to your property. However, you should be aware that it is not suitable for heavy trafficked areas because it is susceptible to lifting and spoiling. Resin driveways provide better traction for cars and pedestrians, and they are wheelchair-friendly as well. You can easily install a resin driveway by yourself, with minimal disruption.
The cost of a resin driveway will vary depending on the size of the area and the type of surface. The cost is set at around PS40 to PS80 per square metre and will be affected by the surface type and existing structure. It is recommended to get three quotations from different companies to ensure that the final cost of installing a resin driveway will be reasonable. The process will not disrupt your daily life, and you'll have a driveway that will last for years.
It is affordable. This type of driveway can be installed over an existing concrete sub-base. The overall cost will depend on how large your driveway is, and the type of surface it is laid over. Many resin driveway kits can come with all the materials you need for a beautiful, long-lasting driveway. And while you can choose a labourer that best suits your needs and budget, a resin driveway will be a great choice for your needs.
The best way to save money on resin driveway installation is to prepare your sub-base beforehand. Cracks and other damages should be repaired before you apply the resin. Cracks can be repaired with concrete filler, while potholes can be fixed with cold lay pothole repair kits.
The former is cheaper, but the resin won't adhere to all stones. The latter requires a mix of the aggregate and resin, which will ensure a smooth, even surface. The resin will not deteriorate like timber over time. If your driveway will be used primarily for parking, a resin driveway can save you money. This material will also withstand weather and UV rays.
It is weed resistant
A resin driveway is weed resistant, which means fewer weeds can grow. The porous surface of a resin driveway allows water to drain through and is less likely to harbor weed seeds and weed roots. Regular surface cleaning is also important, as weeds love wet surfaces. However, a resin driveway is weed resistant compared to a concrete or asphalt driveway, which can harbor a number of weeds.
