The Cambridge dictionary  gives the meaning of  the word benefit  as good and helpful.

Therefore the long term benefit of a resin path or patio would mean it would be good and helpful in extending the life of an existing surface.  The existing surface. Not a new surface.  Whether that be concrete  or tarmac.

Why?  read on to find out about a resin driveway long term benefit

Protective – preventing weather  damage.  Or possible further deterioration.   Durable and attractive .

Resin bonded stone will prevent the ingress of water.  Water can damage surfaces.  Perhaps you have old damaged or tired concrete or tarmac which allows the ingress of water.   With correct water management systems in place you can manage run off water it does not have to permeate through the surface

Permeability is not a requirement at all costs. 

To turn a concrete surface into a fully permeable resin bound surface can require a significant cost.  Resin bonded stone is a more cost effective option.

Now is the time to beat the slippy and icy surfaces with a winterproof resin bonded stone anti slip surface.

Resin bound surfacing  encapsulates the stone and is trowelled on to surfaces meaning the new  surface is not as anti slip as a  resin bonded stone area.  The uniqueness of a resin bonded surface is that the shape and size of the aggregate and the fact that it sits proud of the resin whilst also being partly embedded in resin for adhesion.

Road use is where the winterproof resin bonded stone started –  providing anti skid properties but at the same time offering a durable and protective  surface.

Winter time is catching up fast and in October 2013 we wrote about how the weather can be a dictate for installations

“However once again we see the statements by some companies that they can apply resin (resin bound and resin bonded) when it is raining.   But be very wary of these claims as a resin drive installation Winter time can be hard work.  The weather does not have to halt a project, but it can hold it to ransom!  Concrete and tarmac have different porosity qualities so the surface for  resin drive installations Winter time can dictate on how and when to apply a resin bonded or resin bound application”

  Stone resin driveway considerations are varied.  They should be made before any works are completed.

Cost and suitability of surface.  Aggregate and resin choice.  Drainage and installer experience.  Additionally reliability.  The size of the aggregate furthermore can improve an install. Just some of the stone resin driveway considerations.

Cost – is it per sqm?

Does it include removing any waste?  Similarly materials?

Suitability of surface – do you have concrete? Can it be installed on tarmac?  Is the surface structurally sound?

Aggregate and resin choice – does the size of the aggregate have a bearing on the install?

Bauxite? Natural? Coloured?

Drainage is that a necessary? 

What are  the choices? Does it have to be a standard drainage system? What about permeability?

What about a sloping surface?

All these questions make stone resin driveway considerations important. A necessary first step before taking on any works.

You can enhance or extend the life of existing surfaces.  Hence one of the important benefits of a resin bonded stone finish. Which is its ability to protect.  Only if applied correctly. 

Masking areas is  part of the preparation work.  Or it should be.   But also make sure manholes and edges are protected. Health and Safety for that reason must also be a consideration. Furthermore marking of hazard areas is a must.

Speed of installation is key.  But will vary according to the time of year.  Resin is very sensitive product.  Timing is key. From the time the resin is agitated through to the time it is installed. Also as a result the weather needs to be a consideration.

What is one of the key benefits  resin bonded stone installations?  The anti slip surfacing.  Therefore slippy slopes and slippy surfaces can be eliminated.  Also with the installation of resin on a sloped area comes the complexity.   Managing the resin can be an issue.  Consequently timing is key.

In working with resin over the years we have gained  a number of resin bonded referrals.  Blidworth Hilcote and  Ravenshead are just a few of the areas.

Our resin bonded stone improves patch and mend strategies by extending, improving and providing extra durablity to your  concrete or tarmac driveway path or patio.

The report in the BBC news  says

“Potholes are a huge problem for all road users and the government is taking action, providing local authorities with more than £6.6bn for roads maintenance and pothole repair in the six years to 2021.”

The government is also trialling new technologies to stop potholes from forming and consulting on increasing the standards of roadworks by utility companies to help keep roads pothole-free for longer, he added”

The government says “The “Beast from the East” – the unusually cold spell early last year – was at least partly to blame for the spike”.

So if you want to protect and extend the life of your tarmac concrete, driveway, path or patio

then consider resin bonded stone.

resin driveway access covers –  to cover or not to cover?

All down to a matter of choice –  if you want you want your resin driveway access covers to blend in or not.    Resin driveway access covers come under the umbrella of Manholes and Inspection chambers.  They are addressed in great detail on the paving expert website  

The paving expert website explains in great detail the difference between access and inspection chambers.  Either way these are an important part of your garden, driveway, path or patio and should be dealt with carefully.

The idea of a tray is that it can be filled with the product of use – resin – concrete – block paving -tarmac – grass and will blend in seamlessly.  This can be in your garden, driveway, path or patio.  This tray allows access easily and clearly and is surely an advantage to any homeowner.

If you look carefully (that is the idea as well for it to be less obvious) you can see the covers but these resin driveway access covers  blend in well.

You would think in this day and age more records would be online and readily retained for utilities such as electricity gas and water.  A clear mapping system can help any homeowner, driveway company, builder and service provider for example.  An indicator of where to or not to work.  Where to dig out or knockout or not to dig out or knock out.

It is important to get the positioning right though as you need the access or manhole cover to sit flush unlike this examples we have recently seen.
