at a depth of 20mm, which is strong
enough to withstand even heavy
traffic. Domestic traffic takes vans,
cars at a 15mm depth.

How is RESINATED different from
it's competitors ?
Resinated approaches outdoor construction differently. We don't chase trends quick installation methods, we follow evidence, engineering principles and proven material science. Every surface we build, f
Does Resin crack if water freezes under it ?
Resin is permable and water cannot penetrate the stone, as each individual stone is resin coated. It has been BBA certified and tested at temperatures to -50c, meaning it's suitable for highways and public walkways.
No resin systems should never be laid over flags or block paving. Resin should only be installed onto a solid base to warrant a guarantee. Laying over block or flags will cause problems with cracking and sinking.
What sub base does resin need ?
We have mastered a specialised pervious concrete blend engineered for maximum structural strength and long term performance. We would only ever install our fully excavated resin system on this foundation. In regards to an overlay as long as your existing surface is structurally sound resin can be applied
How long should I leave it before I park my car on the drive ?
Once the driveways is laid, we recommend that it is left for 24hrs for the driveway to fully cure for pedestrian traffic, 3 days to fully cure for vehicular traffic. A longer curing time will be needed for cooler temperatures.
Is a Resin driveway more expensive than Block paving ?
With regards to cost, a resin bound surface has more of a consistent price point, whereas block paving materials can fluctuate dramatically. Generally resin bound surfaces can offer competitve if not a cheaper alternative to block paving.
