What Is A Stone Resin Driveway?

Our iDream Solutions resin driveways in Exeter are all manufactured with the utmost care and precision. We take the time to understand our client’s needs and wants, and work with their preferences to create a high-quality resin bound surface for their property.

Positives Of Installing An Exeter Resin Bound Driveway

With various driveway materials on the market, including popular and traditional tarmac driveways and attractive, robust block paved driveways , it is important to consider the pros and cons of driveway surfaces.

When you choose to install iDream Solution’s stone resin surfacing for your Exeter resin driveway, you will benefit from the following:

  • Quick installation time – our expert iDream Solutions installation team can install your new Exeter resin driveway on your existing concrete or asphalt saving on fitting time.

  • Low-maintenance – as long as the resin driveway surface is kept clear of debris, your resin driveway Exeter will not require regular treating, cleaning or maintenance.
  • Natural drainage – resin surfacing is naturally permeable. Water easily filters through the aggregate and resin surface, complying with sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDs) as well as preventing surface water from forming.
  • Slip-resistant – thanks to their natural drainage properties, water should not pool on the surface, preventing the growth of mould, algae and icy conditions in the winter, resulting in a resin driveway with low slip properties.
  • Durable – your Exeter resin driveway will be in constant use throughout the year; with cars, pedestrians and bikes travelling across it. The resin driveway surface is long-lasting and should not wear.
  • Attractive – thanks to the wide range of stones and resin to choose from, you can transform your driveway with resin bound driveway surfaces, creating unique or natural coloured surfaces to suit any style.
  • 10-year guarantee – all of our iDream Solutions driveway surfacing solutions come with a ten-year insurance guarantee.
  • Stain-resistant – the resin bound driveway surface should not become stained by leaked oil, bird droppings or other substances. Keep your driveway looking brand new for longer!
  • UV-resistant – iDream Solutions Exeter resin driveways have UV-resistant properties, helping to prevent your driveway colours from fading.

Not only will installing a resin-bound driveway to your Exeter property transform the appearance and functionality of your driveway, it can also be used to create wheelchair ramps, resin bound pathways and other driveway landscaping projects.

Potential Stone Resin Driveway Problems

However, as with any construction project, there are a few things to be aware of if you want to install a resin bound driveway on your Exeter property.

  • Regulations – at the moment, there are no official regulations resin driveway installers have to follow, which means that the quality of materials and workmanship can vary. At iDream Solutions, we work hard to ensure all of our resin materials are manufactured to the highest of standards, and our expert team instals all of our stone resin driveways with the utmost care and attention.
  • Weed growth – thanks to the permeable surface, if your resin bound driveway is not installed with a suitable base layer, such as concrete or asphalt, weeds can penetrate through the surface.

Like all installations, to ensure your resin bound driveway lasts for many years and is cost-effective, low-maintenance and attractive, make sure to fit your new Exeter resin driveway with reliable builders.
