Resin Bound Driveway Sandiacre Nottingham
On our travels for a quotation on a Resin Bonded resurfacing for a Sandiacre concrete driveway , we came across a Resin Bound Driveway (possibly a red granite finish but hard to say with the condition).
This particularly large Nottinghamshire driveway area had only been down for a couple of years and over this period of time the Resin (which in bound driveways encapsulates the stone, aggregate or gravel ) had worn to cause two dull stripe like finishes where the car tyres had run in certain areas.
We primarily work with Resin Bonded stone and in the case of Resin Bonded resurfacing this would not happen.
Why? Because the resin is used as the BOND to the surface below with Resin Bonded resurfacing and does not encapsulate the aggregate. This means the resin is not exposed to the continual wear and use. The aggregate is. This not only maintains a natural unpolished finish but also ensures anti slip surfacing and does not require maintenance (apart from a stiff brush and jet wash once a year). The Resin Bound driveway appeared to need a resin coating (which should be uv stable) . However if coated then the impermeability benefit is lost.
Currently there is a lot of belief that permeability in the actual hard standing surface is a must. However this is not the case. What is the case, is that the surface water needs to be managed to ensure compliance with legislation. Sustainable Urban Drainage (suds) means any new front garden surfaces must ensure the surface water does not run on to the household drainage system or mains water course.
Where the new driveway is small, if the existing garden is not water logged it is acceptable to allow the water to soak into the ground. That is just one option. With ever innovative designs there are various alternatives. Don’t be afraid to call us. We don’t bite and our advices is free. Ring Simon or Faith 01623 623986
