In this blog post, our local groundworkers would like to look into the benefits of resin-bonded driveways. Compared to the other materials we work with, resin-bonded driveways aren’t as well-known but can be a great selection for your new driveway installation.
Firstly, before we explain what makes them such a valuable option for driveway construction in Bournemouth, we should elaborate on what a resin-bonded driveway is.
Often mistaken for, although different from, resin-bound driveways, a resin-bonded installation involves a thick layer of resin film being applied to the surface before the new, clean, dry aggregate is scattered on top. The base is coated with glue and uses stones from 1mm to 6mm in size. Compared with resin-bound surfaces, resin-bonded driveways typically have a rougher, more textured finish, while the resin-bound alternatives are smoother.
When our Bournemouth customers consider these surfaces for their new driveway, they are always an excellent choice.
Resin-bonded driveway installations visually resemble gravel while requiring less maintenance than real stones. They come in a variety of colours to suit your personal taste. You can choose a colour that matches your property's existing exterior design or a different colour that stands out.
From a practical standpoint, it’s a durable, non-porous, and hard-wearing material that allows you to get a great return on your investment. It’s designed to be a high-grip surface, making it ideal for the colder months when outside temperatures can cause other surfaces to become icy and slippery. This can be particularly useful if you have a sloped driveway, as this allows for additional slip protection for vehicles and pedestrians. On top of all that, it’s a joy for our local groundworkers to work with, as it can be installed in no time.
If you would like to learn more about installing resin-bonded driveways or arrange for us to install one at your Dorset property, don’t hesitate to get in touch. A member of our team will gladly help you get the perfect driveway for your home.
