Why Choose Resin Bound Driveways?
In Elgin, when it comes to driveway resurfacing with resin, we employ the Resin Bound technique, which offers distinct advantages over the alternative method. With Resin Bound, the resin and aggregate are thoroughly mixed before application. The resulting mixture is then evenly spread across the desired surface, eventually drying to form a solid and uniform finish. Our team highly recommends this technique for your driveway due to its exceptional water permeability, which ensures that the drive remains fully porous.
Unlike the alternative technique, Resin Bonded, which creates an impermeable surface, Resin Bound maintains its water permeability. This attribute is a significant advantage, as it allows for effective water drainage, preventing issues such as pooling and runoff. By choosing Resin Bound Gravel for your driveway, you can have peace of mind knowing that you're selecting a solution that combines durability and aesthetic appeal with the practical benefit of water permeability.

Resin Driveways FAQs
Resin offers a more modern, smooth finish, excellent drainage, and low maintenance. It’s also customisable with various colours and finishes. While the upfront cost may be higher than tarmac or block paving, resin driveways often provide better long-term value.
In most cases, no. Resin bound driveways are permeable and comply with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations. As long as the sub-base is also permeable, you generally won’t need planning permission for areas over 5 square metres.
A well-installed resin bound driveway typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more. Longevity depends on proper installation, the quality of the materials, and general maintenance. UV-stable resin also helps prevent discolouration over time.
Yes, resin can be laid over stable surfaces such as concrete or tarmac. However, the existing base must be in good condition and free from cracks or significant movement, otherwise a new base may be recommended.
Yes, resin driveways are low maintenance. They resist weeds, are easy to clean with a light pressure wash or brush, and do not require sealing or re-sanding like other surfaces. Occasional cleaning helps maintain appearance and performance.
Resin bound driveways involve mixing resin with aggregates before laying, creating a smooth, durable, and fully permeable surface. Resin bonded systems, on the other hand, involve applying resin to the surface and scattering loose stones over it. While bonded driveways are cheaper, they are less durable and not permeable.
Resin bound driveways are usually ready for foot traffic within 6 to 12 hours, and suitable for vehicles after around 24 to 48 hours, depending on weather conditions and curing time.
