Resin bonded driveways are becoming more popular as public awareness rises and prices drop. A resin bonded driveway is a driveway laid using a technique that bonds resin to decorative aggregate.
Driveways are especially good because they look great, they are sturdy, quick to lay, slip resistant, have no loose stones that could damage cars, and have good traction.
Resin bonded driveways are created using the Scatter Coat method, which is one of two options for creating resin-based surfaces. It is cheaper than the trowel method (also known as resin bonded coating) because the resin is only used on the base.
The dispersion coating surface consists of a base, the resin and the aggregate. The base must be solid and as level as possible. It must also be monolithic, so it must be a composite whole, like concrete. A surface that has many seams can move, which will show on the finished surface. The base must also be clean of grease, standing water, and loose material. Preparing the base correctly ensures that the resin adheres correctly.
The resin is fast setting and can withstand traffic in a matter of hours. Resins are available in different colors and should be chosen to complement the aggregate. When the ingredients are mixed to make the resin, the resin can be placed directly on the base. The resin should spread evenly in a few minutes.
There are many different aggregates to choose from, however they should be 6mm or less for the best effect. The aggregate should be spread over the resin bonded gravel specialists layer as soon as possible due to the quick setting time of the resin. An even layer is needed to avoid bald patches, and it is better to add too much rather than not enough aggregate because excess can be collected once the resin is fully set. The stones will slowly sink in and the surface will heal for a few hours.
Resin bonded driveways are a great choice for the home or office and can even be customized with special designs and logos. Let your imagination run wild with your driveway ...
