resin aggregate driveways completed

The resin aggregate driveways completed over the years by Drive-Cote Ltd  have been varying in colour, design finish and purpose.

Sometimes they have been stand alone projects. 

Sometimes they have been completed to improve and extend existing areas.

Whether you want your driveway to just be a purpose,  for instance just for parking.  

Whether you want your driveway to be  simply part of your garden design.

The options are only limited by your own ideas.

Resin bonded stone has been developing in the residential market for over 15 years now.  Specialist aggregate is key to ensuring correct resin reaction when mixed or applied. Excess dust can be an issue. High iron content can cause rust spotting. 

Small but quite important considerations being key to ensure a quality install.

Some of our resin aggregate driveways  have been part of an overall garden project.     Pathways weaving through a garden area

Create your own design.  Consider contrasting colours for definition.

What about varying degrees of the same colour to indicate graduation.

Just a couple of ideas.

Many companies talk about

  • Removal of existing surfaces
  • Excavation depths
  • Perimeter edging
  • Resin profiles
  • Type of MOT layer
  • Use of whacker plates
  • Use of geotextile membranes
  • Laying a new base
  • Use of grids

Resin BOUND stone patio path and driveway surfaces are what require the above.

BUT

Simply none of which are required with a resin BONDED stone patio, path and driveway surfaces.

We do not advocate that our resin bonded surfacing is suitable for all surfaces and for all purposes. 

However resin bonded aggregate applications are minimal mess and disruption  thereby can be completed in the same day.  Not to mention anti slip and weed free

Resin bonded stone installs do not require:

  • Removal of existing surfaces Excavation depths   Perimeter edging
  • Resin profile Type of MOT layers  Use of whacker plates
  • Use of geotextile membrane Laying a new base  Use of grids

Resin Bonded Gravel and Resin Bonded  Aggregate simply  provides an alternative to the usual options for driveways paths and  patios.   Moreover if your concrete or tarmac  is not broke don’t fix it. 

No mess  and minimal disruption.  A resin stone patio surface by Drive-Cote can extend the life of the existing surface.  Simple quotes provided in a timely manner. Drive-Cote is a local company providing a local service.

resin bonded stone working temperature

July 17th, 2022

Resin bonded stone working temperature

Whether that be the resin itself or the operator there are limitations.

resin bonded stone working temperature requires careful monitoring

For our resin installs we work within the surface and operating temperature guidelines. 

+5 ° to  +35°  is one of the indicators we do not work outside of.

Resin  is a two part product and in order for the mixing process to work correctly temperature is  key to the process.

Our resin is primarily for commercial use but we apply  residential adaptations  including mixing and application.

There are many comments on the internet with regard to the “scatter” coat system (resin bonded) but many fail to highlight the benefits of such a product.

  • Anti slip

  • Complete in a day

  • No need to remove the existing surface

  • Extremely short curing period

Drive-Cote Ltd resin work with a natural border

We have over the past few years noticed an increase in the demand for resurfacing  particularly of imprinted concrete. 

Why ?

Drive-Cote Ltd believes it is relative to the options available for sealing and protecting the imprinted concrete.  Currently  the seals available serve to protect the imprinted concrete, but at the same time do not offer adequate anti slip properties, and certainly not to the degree that an anti slip resin drive can.  In fact the resin drive offers a degree of purchase and anti slip quality that seals cannot.  The resin bonded resurfacing allows the special granular aggregate to sit slightly proud of the resin offering the best anti slip properties. 

Resin Bonded  Gravel and Resin Bonded Aggregate provides an alternative to the usual options  for your driveway path or patio. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. 

Advancements in our resin have allowed a more efficient use of it.  However with the variables in temperature (sometimes in a matter of hours!) over the years the  resin bonded stone working temperature is key.

We are based in Nottinghamshire but accessible to Yorkshire and Derbyshire areas.  We have completed anti slip surfacing  in Skegby,  Aspley,  Bilsthorpe, Bulwell,  Clay cross, Cotgrave,   Huthwaite, Mansfield Woodhouse, New Houghton,  Pentrich, Peterborough, Ravenshead, Sellers Wood, Shirebrook,  Toton, Warsop, Worksop

Resin driveway  long term benefit

resin drive pricing

Resin drive pricing

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.

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.
