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

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 –

How brown is your grass!  In a matter of day.

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.

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.
