Resin Driveways St Ives

Local St Ives PE27 Resin Bound & Bond installation Services

Resin Bound and Resin Bond gravel driveways, paths and patios are becoming more and more popular with St Ives homeowners. In many cases they choose to have a resin bound & bonded installation to improve the look of their existing driveway and, in the case of resin-bound, to aid with water drainage. Resin paving material can be used for other purposes as well, such as pathways, access roads, pool surrounds and patios, as it is versatile and strong, yet also flat and even.

What’s the difference between Resin Bound & Resin Bonded?

There are two main techniques for using resin in a St Ives driveway. Despite the similar names, there are some important differences:

Resin Bound: this involves the resin and aggregate being mixed prior to application. The mixture is then spread evenly across the chosen surface, drying to a very solid and even finish. A big advantage of this technique is that the drive remains completely water permeable.

Resin Bonded: this technique involves resin first being applied over the driveway, then a subsequent layer of loose stone pressed into the top surface. This is a quicker and cheaper process but can often lead to loose chippings and an uneven finish. There is an added disadvantage that the drive will no longer be permeable.

At Quality Drives & Landscaping we offer both types of resin driveway in St Ives, although we highly recommend resin bound for best results.
