We  decided  to remind ourselves looking back at our posts.  Some resin bonded stone historical posts for the month of January

• January 2013 we talked of Snowmagedden 

• January 2014  we talked about the environment 

We made mention of  needing  to be respectful of the wildlife  and how over the years the environment has changed and continues to change.   We also said what choices we made 10 or 20 years ago are not necessarily the same choice we should make now.  How true is this bearing in mind current climate changes

• January 2015 we talked about the advantages of resin bonded stone   

How the years have changed. From a Snowmagedden to  a BBC weather  report for January 2022 which says January 2022 was the sunniest since 1959.

“The Met Office has also confirmed it was the sunniest January on record for England with a total of 80.7 hours, beating the previous record of 77.5 in 1959. It is also the third sunniest January on record for the UK, with 1959 remaining in the top spot with 69.7 hours”

How things change!

Resin bonded stone historically was a fair weather option.  Usually associated with Spring and Summer.  However look at January last year and you would have to say that is not so! Unless they have moved January to another Season?

Over the years we have included on our website information about resin resurfacing.  About resin stone anti slip durable path protection and the advantages.

April 2013 and pothole effects

Concrete is  a quality and highly tough product when installed correctly.  However some of the disadvantages can be quite minimal but impactful.

Slippy

Prone to weed and moss growth

Not very attractive

Tendency to crack and spall

Tarmac can be similar.  But just consider this.  What are footings made of ?

Very often issues are easy to remedy with a resin resurfacing option. Why not consider a resin stone anti slip durable protection install?

Weather resistant protection can save the cost of a new install

From a resin bonded balcony upgrade to incorporating a resin bonded surface in your garden.

The options to consider your outside space are endless. For instance shapes, colours, finishes and textures.

From wall gardens to bog gardens. Consider the space you are wanting to work with.

Bog gardens can be a good winter project to keep your garden in check. So despite the weather carry on gardening 

Not to mention the mental health benefits and after the last 2 years of covid lockdown  we need to take care of our health

Do you have drainage issues?

Is it easily accessible?

Do you like colour or are you more of a natural person or family?

Is the environment your main consideration or alternatively are you  style over function?

So many things to consider.

Furthermore if you have the opportunity why not consider a  resin bonded balcony  to  elevate and enhance your garden vista.

We completed a resin bonded balcony a number of years ago and have subsequently been quoting and pricing for similar works.

Over the years we have developed a small but perfectly formed garden.  A little tropical paradise in Mansfield.  (Well we think it is)

Try a sunken greenhouse to allow more greenhouse space without taking up too much surface area.  Above all consider the numerous options.

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.

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”

          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.

  Resin bonded stone resurfaces so can help stop virgin concrete installs .  A unique alternative to removing your tired, old concrete or tarmac.

The Guardian reported  in February 2019 the issues with landfill facing the world and  talks about virgin concrete installs

“In most developed countries, including much of western Europe, the majority of demolished concrete is put to some use. Mostly to make low-value products like filling for roads. This process is known as “downcycling”. Many researchers and engineers are searching for ways to “upcycle” concrete waste instead. To  turn old building products into new and first-rate structures.  Thus avoiding the need for new or “virgin” concrete”

Resin bonded stone can resurface and reduce the need to provide a virgin concrete install .  The Guardian report goes on to say

“As our world urbanises at a pace never before seen, with buildings rising and falling in as little as 30 years, the crumbled debris of our cities often ends up in landfill. Around 10bn tonnes (pdf) of concrete are manufactured each year: a staggering one cubic metre for every person on Earth. Over the next 40 years the world is expected to build 230 billion square metres in new construction, adding the equivalent of Paris to the planet every single week”

When you read these numbers its puts into perspective the issues we are creating with the use of  concrete.
