Resin Surfacing Sheffield


Resin driveways are fast becoming the number one choice to take over block paving as the option for a new driveway. Especially as modern variants have improved over their earlier counter parts. The choice is now vast in terms of colour options but it is also important to note that the terms resin driveway covers two different variants, which have quite different properties. 


Resin bound driveway

is, as the name implies, a driveway where the coloured aggregate has been mixed with the resin throughout making it a multi layered and a much stronger longer lasting option with all stone particles covered in resin and laid onto it's base. What also make this superior is that as well as being more durable is is permeable allowing for better drainage, yet provides a smoother finish and is UV stable.


Resin bonded driveway

consists of a resin being applied to the top of the existing or base surface on top of which the aggregate particles are scattered and spread over the resin. As the result the resin layer is one solid impermeable film to which the aggregate sticks. Since the aggregate is only in contact with the resin at the bottom there is a much weaker contact and therefore more prone to stones becoming loose and the whole driveway having a rougher finish.

This should enable you to have hassle free ownership of a resin driveway. Remember though, resin bound driveways are designed for light vehicle traffic so, if you are intending to park heavy, semi-commercial vehicles and load and unload heavy items which could fall and damage the resin, this may not be the best option for you. Similar to tarmac, chemical spills such as brake fluid, should be removed immediately with warm water.

  • Is resin the best driveway finish?

    Well, we're going to sit on the fence for this one. Unfortunately, this isn't one single option which will be best for everyone, which is why we like to offer you a wide choice. Budget, colour, style, drainage, ongoing maintenance all play a part.

All that said those customers who have chose a resin bound driveway in particular have been very happy with their choice

  • If I arrange to have my existing resin driveway resurfaced will it still be permeable?

    This will largely depend on the original driveway surface is. If it is resin bound then rainwater should still be able to permeate through with a thing resurfacing layer. 

    If you opt for resin bound over resin bonded this will cause issues as the original lay is not permeable. As long as this original layer  had adequate drainage measures installed this will continue to be the route for surface water to follow.

  • Do I need to seal a resin driveway surface?

    Sealing is for non-permeable driveways such as Imprinted, concrete driveways and tarmac which will certainly need sealing to avoid your driveway from discolouring (imprinted concrete) or breaking. It also supplies a defensive finish to your drive, so if fluid is dropped onto its surface area the sealer will postpone the ingress of the spilt liquid from getting into the concrete and creating an irreversible discolouring.

    For a resin driveway if your existing resin surface is resin bound applying a sealant may have a negative effect on its permeability, so we would generally advise against this. For a resin bonded surface the additional application of a sealant will help protect the top surface and aid adhesion of the top level agreegates.
