How does resin drive pricing work?

There are a number of factors when businesses will take into account.

1. Size – the smaller the size is not always the cheaper.
2. Access – difficult access can create  delays in a process
3. Finish – some media is more manageable and less expensive when resin drive pricing
4. Shape – more  detailed the area to complete requires more attention.

Driveway resurfacing is becoming more popular.  Why?  Even considering the above,  it can still  be a lot  more cost effective to use an existing base than to create a base

Resin is rapid setting, fuel and chemical resistant with anti slip surfacing properties.

We are always being asked about snow rain ice resin durability  and the answer is excellent.  But not for the install.  But for the efficacy 

March 2022  has certainly shown some variations in the weather. Heatwave and then snow!

The key to all good resin driveway resurfacing!   Costs for basic materials are escalating due to the current climate.  Improve don’t remove!

Our resin bonded stone uses the  existing surface –  concrete and tarmac being the most enduring.

A Report in the Science Daily   reports

“A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt — the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states. The novel sealer showed a 75% improvement in repelling water and a 44% improvement in reducing salt damage in laboratory studies compared to a commercial sealer”

Have you ever thought why concrete is used in footings?  If its good enough for a house then a driveway is no problem

Back in 2014 we reported on the required durability for a driveway and the construction and science research strives to improve concrete.

Over the past 15 to 20 years  resin bonded stone demand has increased massively.  The reasons for this are varied. Suppliers and installers would say –

speed of install   durablity    attractiveness   permeability    versality  anti slip properties

and these are just a few of the benefits!

Perhaps the best marketing position every business is vying for is helping its rise in popularity  according to Google? 

If we compare the previous standards 

Block paving      concrete    tarmac  imprinted concrete   slabbs

you could ask what do they have that resin doesn’t – or vice versa!

We have always said one shoe does not fit all!  The more alternatives we have available means consumers have choice.

The ability to use what is the best fit or most suitable is always a bonus.

Grass where concrete was is not necessarily the right choice for you (eg if you  want to park cars on your drive) .  However it may well be totally fit for purpose for your neighbour for eg  who wants less of a hardstanding  garden area.

Resin bonded stone demand is not as high as resin bound.  Do you know the difference?  Be sure to make sure you are aware of the difference. 

Can it go on concrete? Does it go on hardcore? How durable is the bonded as opposed to the bound? Is it weed free? Does it require maintenance?

Resin bonded stone demand is going from strength to strength.  Landfill concerns  mean that if the existing surface is suitable it can be resurfaced.

Resin Bonded stone stability is a key benefit in providing a durable anti-skid surfacing system.  The purpose of which was created originally for road use.  However we have been providing  resin bonded stone driveways paths and patios for the last 18 years.  Our resin bonded installs  ensure the bonding of our aggregates to solid monolithic bases resulting in non migrating aggregates. Resin bonded stone stability. Attractive and decorative.  Relying on the existing surface which  is unlike resin bound surfacing. Our install can be completed in a day without the need for skips.  Speed of cure is important in our works.  Minimal mess and disruption all round. No need for waste removal and disposal.

Our specialist aggregate is sourced from tried and tested suppliers.  Suppliers who have rigorous processes in place to ensure the suitability, strength and durability of this specialist media.

Our resin resurfacing is designed not to affect existing levels.  The resin bonded stone  is applied to the substrate.  Concrete and tarmac are the ideals.  Structurally sound being key.  Very often the visual concerns which our clients raise are exactly that meaning visual.

[See image gallery at www.drive-cote.co.uk] Concrete will have been used for the base for a clients property.  Therefore if it is good enough for the weight and structure of the property in the form of footings our  resin resurfacing will be well supported.

In April 2013 we wrote about  pothole problems and we think that this will be even more of an issue for the countrywide road system going forward.

Wear and tear

Manpower issues in general

Covid 19 pandemic 

Weather changes affected by global warming can be contributory factors to deterioration in the road surfaces as well.  Creating a need for  some of us to consider driveway pothole resurfacing.

Notts County Council say on their website

What is a pothole and how do they form? 

“A pothole is a large, deep hole in the road. They are formed when roads freeze and thaw repeatedly. The changes in temperature causes damage to the surface. Layers of the road become unstuck or the surface breaks. As traffic travels over these weakened areas holes appear. 

Potholes can appear at any time of year but are more frequent during late winter and early spring”. 

Our driveways paths and patios can be subject to similar deterioration.  Tarmac and concrete are strong substrates but may need a little tlc over the years.  Sometimes the surface may have been physically marked and damaged (oil spills and skip damage for example) sometimes they may be beyond repair and require a brand new surface.

Our resin bonded surface (bonded not bound) cannot always work with all issues, however one of the main benefits of our resin is the ability to resurface an existing surface and to not affect the existing level.

Frost damage, heave and shelling all allow the elements to attack the surface but as long as the structure is sound this will only be surface damage to start with.  However left to deteriorate without protection this could eventually be irreparable.

Our resin is a polyurethane based product if you require some technical trivia please see . This website talks about the advantages and properties.  The site talks about the abrasion and impact resistance for example.  This is an aspect that is key and relevant to the resin and the aggregates to be used. Crushing, impact and gravity and water absorption being relevant. 

Science and technology is behind the correct use of resins and aggregates and the different applications.

We have been working within the local area for in excess of 15 years now.  Our Resin Bonded Gravel can protect, anti slip and extend the life of your existing concrete or tarmac surface.

Over a year ago we wrote about the benefits of resin bonded stone

Aftercare and maintenance required for anti slip surfacing by Drive-Cote Ltd  is minimal. A stiff brush to remove excess aggregate. The occasional jetwash is all that is required.  Not so for resin bound though so be sure to make the correct choice for your requirements.

Back in June 2014 we pointed out some  differences between the 2 installs 

Quality materials and suppliers are also key .  Derbyshire Aggregates are one of the stalwarts of the industry. On their website  you will find a large amount of information.  As a home owner we would would advise you to find as much background information with regard to the suitability of the resin options as possible.

          Resin bonded driveway edging is something we do get asked about.  However resin bonded driveways paths and patios do not necessarily  require this.  Nothing is standard.  Each individual drive, surface, finish and requirement is client specific.

Our resin bonded stone is not the same as resin bound.  Resin bonded stone does not have to be applied to the depth required by resin bound surfacing.  Resin bonded stone does not necessarily need the same surface as a resin bound.  These basic differences can not only make a difference as to whether edgings are required or but they can also make a difference to the overall cost.

Sometimes edgings are a requirement of the client rather than a requirement of the install.

Resin bonded stone resurfacing covers what is in place – existing concrete and tarmac.  It does not provide a brand     new surface.  Resin bonded stone therefore does not affect existing levels and does not  actually require edgings to install.

Resin bonded stone can be installed on surfaces which already have edgings in place – i.e. stone setts or block paving.  This therefore means that as our resin does not affect existing levels and can be applied on the existing tarmac, concrete or imprinted concrete and will finish neatly without affecting the existing edgings.

Coloured or natural edgings or a coloured or natural finish –  the choices are there.

Anti slip, durable protective and attractive  – our resin bonded stone can extend the life of existing surfaces without the usual time, mess and disruption caused by the usual block paving, tarmac, concrete and imprinted concrete options.
