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

Got a problem with slippy imprinted concrete?  Then an anti slip protective durable resin bonded application could be the way forward!

We are regularly contacted and asked if we can help with imprinted concrete resurfacing.  And the simple answer is yes!

Because  resin bonded installs are quite an aggressive finish they offer an anti slip property  and effectiveness second  to none.  A  well sealed shiny surface cannot be as effective.

We won’t deny that it completely covers the surface.  As a benefit it means

No more sealing.

No more slippy hazards. 

As a disadvantage (if you like the look of imprinted concrete) it completely removes all visibility of the imprinted concrete.

Please note there are alternative remedies to improving the anti slip properties of imprinted concrete.  Such as additives to sealers .

These however do not offer the same scale of durabilitiy as resin bonded stone.

We are confident however that our resin bonded install is far more effective.

A resin driveway  resurfacing finish can be provided by way of  number of options from local companies.

For example

Remove the existing surface and install a brand new resin surface

Or

Reuse the existing surface as a base and apply a resin bonded stone surface

It all depends on what is already in place and the purpose of the works.

COST

Cost could be a consideration as well.   Is there a limited budget for example?

Primarily the existing surface is the decider.  It is no good resurfacing an unsound surface.

These considerations are relative to a concrete and tarmac surface.

The concrete network   (American based but a very informative site)   says   “In any case, the underlying concrete for a resurfacing project must be sound. It is not feasible to resurface concrete that is heaving, has severe cracks, or is damaged due to freeze/ thaw damage. Resurfacing will not solve underlying soil problems”

A resin driveway resurfacing finish could be classed as adhesive as it “binds”.  This could be  aggregate and resin in a specialist aggregator.  Or it could be resin laid and then  has aggregate applied to it to bond the existing and aggregate together.

Remember at this time of year slips trips and falls can be a concern.  One of the biggest benefits is the anti slip quality provided by resin bonded installs. Particularly good for imprinted concrete

If resin bonded stone or aggregate  is a consideration  for your driveway path or patio then please do not hesitate to contact us.

There are a number of points  to consider

What is the existing surface?

Concrete? Tarmac? Imprinted concrete? Slabs? Block paving?

How stable is the existing surface?

Has it been down for a number of years? Are there any cracks?

Will or do you require it for  vehicle or foot traffic use?

Stability and support being paramount for this question

Is it for residential or commercial purposes?

In other words  high or low volume and use.

resin driveway ground stability

Resin driveway (or path and patio) stability will have a major impact on whether a resin driveway is for you bearing in mind the purpose of the works. In addition it will also have an impact on the longevity of any work completed.

Resin bonded surfacing uses an existing surface and therefore resin driveway ground stability is key.

Concrete as an example is a quality substrate.  Consider where it is used commercially- roads pavements, buildings, bridges and footings.  Subsequently this is reinforced this by way of length of life not to mention high use (from a residential perspective).

Our quote has always been “if its not broke don’t fix it” therefore if you already have concrete why remove it for resin bonded stone installs?

 Existing stability and support are key to resin bonded stone applications compared to resin bound stone.  Simply though if it has supported your vehicle then

Resin bound stone is permeable and should have a different substrate than the standard concrete and tarmac you and I will have on our driveway path and patio.  Alternatively if the existing is used it will be key that the correct drainage options are considered.

There are many options to drainage issues when you are considering the frontage of your property.  If you have water concerns consider a bog garden

With the current climate issues we all need to look to the future not just the here and now!

Landfill issues and global warming are major concerns for us all.   Consider the excessive heatwave we have just experienced –

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.

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.

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.

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.
