If you’re thinking about a new driveway, it’s difficult to surpass the contemporary look and function of a resin bound surface. It is unsurprising that this premium choice has become increasingly attractive for homeowners in the UK who want a stylish, hardwearing finish which is easy to maintain.
Set in Stone Paving has been installing resin bound drives, paths and patios in and around Buckinghamshire, Windsor and Berkshire, Wokingham, Aylesbury and all other nearby areas for over 20 years. We have always been a family run business and pride ourselves on providing best in-class workmanship at competitive prices, and we never ask for an upfront payment.
What is a Resin Bound Driveway?
A gloss aggregate is laid with a specialist resin binder mixed in with natural stone aggregates. When you apply gloss blend with plated natural stone aggregate, you will get a smooth, seamless surface to work with, that can be made in colours and textures to suit your property.
Unlike resin bonded surfaces – where you are scattering the stone onto the resin, resin bound surfaces involve mixing the aggregate prior to laying the surface. This means you are ensuring a more uniform surface which is also more durable than a resin bonded system.
Key Benefits of Resin Bound
1) Attractive and Customisable
Resin bound surfacing comes in a wide variety of aggregate colors, from warm golden shades to contemporary greys and silvers, as well as subtle or bold blends or contrasts to suit your home.
2)Seamless Appearance
The joint-free finish gives a sleek, modern look which is suitable for both new builds and period properties.
3)Low Maintenance
With a quick sweep and occasional wash, you can keep your driveway looking fresh! The surface is also less prone to weed growth and staining, which means maintenance is simple all year round.
4)Permeable Options
If installed over the correct base, resin bound driveways are fully permeable, allowing rain water to drain through and preventing puddles, additionally, it may even lessen the need for additional drainage solution.
Our Installation Process
All resin bound driveways we have constructed begin with sound groundwork. We excavate to the right depth, install a stable sub-base, incorporate proper drainage, and apply the resin mix using consideration for the prevailing weather conditions to avoid improper curing and to gain a seamless finish.
Our professional teams deliver quality by working efficiently; the end result will provide consistency of colour, evenness of coverage and clean edges. Your driveway is ready to light use after 24 hours of completion and is usually ready for full use shortly after but will depend on your conditions.
