Resin is a great choice for your driveway, patio or path in Ilkeston.

Resin can be used to finish your driveway, patio, or path. It also adds a beautiful aesthetic touch that will increase the property’s value. Resin has many additional benefits, not only is it more eco-friendly than concrete.

Eco-Friendly

Concrete is up to 10x more eco-friendly when it comes to resin bound driveways, patios, and paths. 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.

Additionally, the porous nature of resin driveways and patios allows water to naturally drain away, reducing surface water runoff, which helps to reduce flooding risk in a natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly way.

Sustainable Urban Drainage Compliant

Oct 2008 saw the adoption of legislation that applied to households. It stated that any paving that exceeds 5m in front of a property must be permeable, and that any paving that is not permeable would need planning permission. This is also known as Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDs) in planning terms.

The primary solution to the SUDs criteria is resin bound driveways, patios, or paths. They are permeable by nature. Our resin driveways, patios, and path installations are therefore not required for planning permission. The Environmental Agency strongly encourages them to help with surface water runoff and reduce the possibility of flooding.

Hard Wearing, Durable & Long Lasting

All materials used in our resin driveway, patio and path are carefully sourced. They are made from 100% natural stones from Europe and the UK. The full range of performance in both residential and commercial installations has been ensured by extensive testing of various aggregate mixes.

The latest polymer technology is used in our resins to give you a strong, resilient surface that will last for years. Our materials result in a durable, long-lasting driveway, patio, or path that is both attractive and lasts.

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. Because the resin is flexible, it is resistant to flaking or cracking. This means that you don’t have to repoint flags, block paving or top up gravel that has been washed away.

Other than a few occasional sweeps and cleans, you can just relax and enjoy your beautiful driveway, patio or path year in and year out.

UV Stable, Resistant Against Fading

We use ResinBound UVR Pro, which is the best choice for polyurethane resins. It has been specifically formulated to be used in resin bound driveways and patios. It is also UV stable. Resin bound aggregates will never yellow, change colour or fade under UV light.

We are proud to offer a 25-year colour lock guarantee from the manufacturer for the ResinBound UVR Pro resin. This is because of its quality and testing.

Stain Resistant

Resin driveways, patios, and paths are more resistant to staining than traditional surfacing like concrete, tarmac, and stone. The resin acts as a sealant for the natural stones, stopping oil and other staining substances from entering.

The porous surface of the final surface allows for residues that could stain non-permeable surfaces to be naturally washed away, rather than being absorbed.

Weed Resistant

Resin bound surfaces can be installed in a clever cellular arrangement that makes them resistant to weed growth. This is why patios, driveways and paths are protected from weed growth. Because of its porous nature, water is not retained in the surface and this can cause roots to become resistant.

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

All of the resin driveways, patios, and paths that we install comply with manufacturer recommendations. They have exceptional anti-slip qualities. We have tested all surfaces to ensure they meet safety standards of BS7976-2 guidelines. A ‘Pendulum-Test Value’ (PVT), was used to measure anti-slip qualities. A 36-point PTV value corresponds to the requirements of The Health and Safety Executive. The higher the value, the better the slip resistance.

Our lowest finish has a PVT of 69. Many others have a PVT of 75 or higher.
