Why Choose a Resin Driveway?
Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they arrive at your home. A worn, cracked or dated surface can affect the overall appearance of the property, while a professionally installed resin driveway can provide an immediate improvement to kerb appeal.
Resin bound driveways combine attractive natural stone with a strong resin binder to create a seamless surface. The finished driveway offers the appearance of loose decorative stone without the inconvenience of gravel moving across paths, pavements or the road.
They are suitable for a wide range of homes, from traditional properties and cottages to modern developments and contemporary family homes.
Attractive, Modern Finish
Resin driveways provide a clean and seamless appearance that works particularly well around modern properties, but the wide range of stone colours available also makes resin an excellent choice for traditional homes.
Different aggregate blends can be used to complement brickwork, rendering, windows, doors and landscaping around your property.
Hard Wearing and Durable
A properly prepared resin driveway is designed to withstand regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Correct preparation of the existing surface and base is essential to the finished result. Our team will assess your property before installation and recommend the most appropriate preparation for the condition of your existing driveway.
Low Maintenance
One of the main attractions of a resin bound driveway is how straightforward it is to maintain.
Unlike loose gravel, there are no stones constantly moving around the driveway or being carried onto adjoining pavements. Routine sweeping and occasional cleaning can help keep the surface looking smart throughout the year.
Permeable Surface
When installed with a suitable permeable base, resin bound surfacing allows rainwater to drain through the surface rather than simply running across it.
This can help reduce standing water and makes resin bound surfacing particularly suitable for modern driveway installations where effective drainage needs to be considered.
Smooth and Practical
The even surface of a resin driveway makes it suitable for pedestrians, pushchairs, bicycles and wheelie bins as well as vehicles.
The lack of loose stones also makes it a practical alternative to traditional gravel driveways.
Resin Bound Driveways Installed Around Your Home
A resin surface does not have to stop at the driveway.
The same material can be incorporated into different parts of your outdoor space, creating a consistent finish around the property.
Depending on your project, resin bound surfacing can be used for:
- Driveways
- Front paths
- Garden pathways
- Patio areas
- Property entrances
- Side access paths
- Courtyard areas
- Decorative borders
Using complementary colours across several areas of the property can create a coordinated appearance and help connect the driveway with your garden and landscaping.
A Choice of Resin Driveway Colours and Finishes
Every property is different, which is why your new driveway should not be limited to a single colour or design.
Resin aggregates are available in a broad range of tones, allowing you to choose a finish that suits your home.
Popular options include warm golden and beige shades for a traditional appearance, contemporary greys and silvers, darker charcoal blends and natural stone colours.
Borders can also be incorporated to add definition around the driveway or highlight entrances, pathways and landscaped areas.
During your consultation, we can talk you through the different options available and help you choose a combination that works naturally with the style of your property.
Our Resin Driveway Installation Process
The quality of a resin driveway depends heavily on what sits underneath the finished surface. For that reason, we take preparation seriously and assess every project individually before work begins.
1. Initial Consultation
The process begins with a discussion about your existing driveway, the appearance you would like to achieve and how the area is currently used.
We can discuss colours, finishes, borders, drainage requirements and any other landscaping considerations.
2. Site Assessment
Our team will inspect the existing driveway and base to establish what preparation is required.
Some existing surfaces may provide a suitable foundation once properly prepared, while other driveways may require additional groundwork or replacement of the existing base.
This assessment allows us to recommend the correct solution rather than applying resin over an unsuitable surface.
3. Preparation and Groundwork
Where required, the driveway will be excavated and prepared before the appropriate base is installed.
Edging, borders and drainage considerations are also addressed during this stage.
Good groundwork is one of the most important parts of any driveway installation and provides the foundation for the finished resin surface.
4. Resin Bound Surface Installation
The chosen aggregate is mixed thoroughly with specialist resin before being applied across the prepared area.
The mixture is carefully spread and hand finished to create a consistent, smooth surface across the driveway.
Attention is given to edges, borders and adjoining areas to achieve a clean final appearance.
5. Final Inspection
Once installation has been completed and the surface has cured, the finished driveway is inspected before the project is handed over.
We will also provide advice on caring for and maintaining your new resin driveway.
Resin Driveways and Sustainable Drainage
Drainage is an important consideration when installing or replacing a driveway.
Resin bound surfaces are made using aggregate coated in resin while leaving small spaces between the stones. This creates a porous finished surface through which water can pass.
When the resin surface is combined with a correctly constructed permeable base, rainwater can drain through the driveway into the ground below.
This can help reduce surface water runoff and the formation of puddles.
The suitability of the existing driveway and drainage arrangement will be assessed as part of your quotation so that the complete installation can be planned correctly.
Upgrade an Existing Driveway
You do not necessarily need to be building a completely new driveway to benefit from resin surfacing.
In certain circumstances, an existing concrete or tarmac driveway may provide a suitable base for a resin bound overlay, provided that the surface is structurally sound and properly prepared.
This can sometimes reduce the amount of excavation required.
However, applying resin over a failing or unsuitable surface can lead to problems later, which is why our team will always assess the existing driveway before recommending the best approach.
Where more substantial groundwork is required, we can prepare the area correctly before installing the final surface.
Increase the Kerb Appeal of Your Property
Your driveway occupies a significant part of the front of your property, making it an important part of its overall appearance.
Replacing cracked concrete, faded tarmac, loose gravel or ageing paving with resin can completely change how the exterior of your home looks.
A carefully chosen aggregate can complement your brickwork, rendering, roofline, windows and front door, creating a much more coordinated exterior.
If you are carrying out several improvements to your property, Fortuna Home Solutions can also help with windows, doors, conservatories and roofline products, allowing you to create a complete transformation.
