Resin Bound Stone Paving

FAQS

Resin bound driveways offer several advantages over concrete. While concrete can crack over time and may require significant repairs, a resin bound surface is more flexible and less prone to cracking. Additionally, resin bound driveways are permeable, which helps prevent water pooling and promotes better drainage, unlike non-permeable concrete. The natural stone finish of a resin bound surface is also more visually appealing and customizable compared to the standard gray appearance of concrete.

Resin bound surfaces are known for their durability and low maintenance. Unlike block paving, which can shift, develop gaps, and grow weeds between the joints, a resin bound surface is seamless and resists weed growth. Block paving may also chip and require frequent maintenance to keep it looking good, whereas resin bound surfaces maintain their pristine appearance with minimal upkeep, usually just occasional sweeping and power washing.

While the initial cost of a resin bound driveway can be slightly higher than traditional concrete, it proves more cost-effective in the long run due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. Concrete can crack and may need repairs over time, leading to additional costs. Resin bound driveways do not have these issues, resulting in fewer long-term expenses. Compared to block paving, resin bound is often similarly priced but saves money on maintenance and repair costs, as block paving may shift and require frequent weed removal and joint repairs.

Resin bound driveways provide a seamless, modern finish that enhances curb appeal and property value. Unlike block paving, which can become uneven and develop unsightly gaps over time, a resin bound surface remains smooth and attractive. Additionally, resin bound driveways are less prone to color fading and do not need as much maintenance, making them a more sustainable and cost-effective choice in the long term.

Yes, the installation of a resin bound surface is typically quicker and less disruptive than both concrete and block paving. Concrete requires a curing period, which can delay the use of your driveway, while block paving involves laying individual blocks and ensuring they are level. A resin bound surface can often be installed in 1 to 2 days and is ready for use within a short timeframe after installation.

Yes, a resin bound driveway is well-suited for very hot weather. ResinGem's high-quality resin and aggregate mix is designed to be durable and UV-stable, meaning it won't soften, discolor, or degrade under direct sunlight and high temperatures. The permeable nature of resin bound surfaces also allows heat to dissipate more effectively compared to non-permeable options like concrete. This helps maintain a more consistent surface temperature and prevents cracking or warping, making it a reliable choice for hot climates.

Yes, a resin bound driveway is a suitable option for very cold climates. ResinGem's high-quality resin and aggregate mix is designed to be durable and resistant to freeze-thaw cycles. The permeable nature of the resin bound surface allows water to drain through, preventing water from sitting on the surface and freezing, which helps reduce the risk of cracking and damage. Unlike traditional paving materials, resin bound driveways maintain their structural integrity in low temperatures and resist surface frost. This makes them an excellent choice for areas that experience cold weather and harsh winters.
