Resin is a great choice for your driveway, patio or path in Leicester.

Resin can be used to finish your driveway, patio, or path. It also adds a beautiful aesthetic touch that will increase the property’s value. Resin is also more environmentally friendly than concrete.

Eco-Friendly

Resin bound driveways can be as eco-friendly as concrete patios and walkways. Resin bound surfaces made of natural stone are created using a high-grade resin without solvents. These are stronger than concrete and don’t cause any damage to the environment.

Our resin driveways, patios, and paths are permeable, allowing water to drain away naturally. This reduces the possibility of flooding and is sustainable, eco-friendly, and natural.

Sustainable Urban Drainage Compliant

October 2008 saw the passing of legislation affecting households. The law stated that any paving more than 5m in front a property must be permeable. Non-permeable paving would require planning permission. This is called Sustainable Urban Drainage in planning terms.

The primary solution to the SUDs criteria is resin bound driveways, patios, or paths. They are permeable by nature. The Environmental Agency encourages the use of resin driveways, patios, or paths that do not require planning permission. This is because they can help to reduce surface water runoff as well as reduce flooding potential.

Hard Wearing, Durable & Long Lasting

All materials used in our resin driveway, patio and path are carefully sourced. They are made from 100% natural stones from Europe and the UK. For commercial and domestic installations alike, we have done extensive testing with different aggregates. Strength assessments were also performed.

We use the latest polymer technology in resin manufacturing to provide a tough, durable surface with exceptional durability and long-term performance. We use high quality materials to create a driveway, patio, path or walkway that is durable and lasts for many years.

Low Maintenance

Resin driveways/patios/paths are strong and durable, but they are also more maintenance-friendly than traditional surfacing methods.

Resin as the binding agent creates a’sealed surface’ without cracks. This will eliminate the possibility of weeds growing between joints. The resin’s flexibility makes it resistive to flaking and cracking, which means you can no longer repoint blocks or flags or add gravel that has been washed.

The driveway, patio and path are beautiful year after year.

UV Stable, Resistant Against Fading

ResinBound UVR Pro has been specially designed to be used for resin bound driveways. It is UV stable. This means resin bound aggregates will not change colour, yellow, or fade in the UV light.

ResinBound UVR Pro resins are so well tested and quality assured that they come with a 25-year guarantee.

Stain Resistant

Resin driveways/patios/paths are extremely resistant to staining issues compared to traditional surfacing like concrete, asphalt and stone. The resin acts like a sealant and prevents oil or other staining substances entering natural stone aggregates.

The porous structure allows residues, which could be staining non permeable surfaces, can be naturally washed away.

Weed Resistant

Resin bound surfaces can be installed in a clever cellular arrangement that makes them resistant to weed growth. This is why patios, driveways and paths are protected from weed growth. Because the surface is porous, water does not remain within it and so weed roots cannot take root.

Furthermore, the resin driveway, patio, and path provides a single surface that is continuous. The flexibility combined with the lack of joints eliminates the potential for cracks in traditional surfacing materials.

Anti Slip Properties

All resin driveways, patios and pathways we install follow manufacturer recommendations. This ensures exceptional anti-slip characteristics. We have tested all surfaces to ensure they meet safety standards of BS7976-2 guidelines. A ‘Pendulum-Test Value’ (PVT), was used to measure anti-slip qualities. 36 PTV values are required by The Health and Safety Executive. A higher value means that the slip resistance is better.

Our lowest finish has a PVT of 69. Many others have a PVT of 75 or higher.
