Choosing the right surface for your home driveway isn’t as straightforward as you might think. With so many styles, materials and designs available it can be difficult to decide on the right one for your home. At iDream Solutions, we offer a wide range of resin bound surfacing solutions to choose from.

Our team of Devon surfacing experts have been installing and supplying resin driveways across the county for many years, as well as having a wealth of knowledge and experience. In this article, we will be discussing why you should choose resin bound for your driveway.

Epoxy resin is everywhere at the moment, people are creating lamps, decorations and even tables using resin. This is because the resin is a polymer chemical substance which is incredibly viscous, produced naturally from plants and it helps to hold other elements, such as stone and gravel securely within a durable solution.

Stone resin, used for driveways and pathways, is a solid, non-porous material which is available in a range of attractive colours, from clear to purple! Stones of your choice are then combined with the resin to mimic the appearance of naturally occurring surfaces such as granite and marble, while also creating a smooth and aesthetically appealing surface for your driveway or paths.

Whereas granite and marble can be hard to source and pricey, stone resin is a cost-effective alternative which can be used to complete a variety of projects. iDream Solutions can create bespoke stone resin driveway surfacing with your choice of resin colour and stone size, colour and shape.

iDream Solutions can create bespoke blends of resin bound driveway surfacing to complement or contrast your home’s exterior. Resin bound solution is made up of an aggregate and clear or coloured resin of your choice.

The solution is mixed together before application and the iDream Solutions team can assist with any groundwork needed before installation. As the wet resin is poured over the surface (it can be laid over an existing macadam, asphalt or concrete base) our team moves the solution to the required areas using a towelling method to ensure the solution is smooth and flat.

As the solution is being installed, tiny gaps are naturally created between the aggregate, sand and stone to ensure water can drain through. For more information about the range of style of resin bound driveways we can create, see our range of case studies or visit our gallery for inspiration.

Your driveway is the first thing that people see when they visit your property. Having a well-presented, attractive driveway is an essential investment for your home. While there are loads of driveway surfacing options available, from traditional tarmac driveways and gravel driveways to block paving Devon driveways, or sloped driveways.

If you want your driveway to continue looking brand new, for many years to come, then investing in a high-quality, attractive and durable surface is essential. Here are some of the many benefits of resin driveways and why you should consider a stone resin driveway for your property:

We’ve said it once but we’ll say it again, resin-bound driveways are durable, long-lasting and hard-wearing. Driveways will be in constant use by the homeowners, with cars, pedestrians and bikes going across the surface multiple times a day.

Thanks to the stone resin driveway’s impenetrable surface, due to its amalgamation of materials, resin bound driveways are incredibly hard-wearing and should not crack, chip or warp under pressure, regardless of how many cars you have driving on your driveway!

No one wants to spend hours maintaining their driveway. With a stone resin driveway, all you need to do to keep your driveway looking brand new is occasionally clean it with a jet washer, or sweep debris, leaves and dirt from the surface.

Unlike other driveway surfaces, resin bound driveways should keep their fresh, attractive appearance for many years to come with little effort from yourself.

Thanks to the slightly textured surface of the stone resin driveway, paired with its porous qualities, preventing water and ice build-up, stone resin driveways offer a non-slip surface.

While resin driveways are an attractive, long-lasting and low-maintenance driveway surfacing solution, they are also one of the most cost-effective. Thanks to their durability, (iDream Solutions offer a ten-year guarantee) resin driveways are often the easiest and cheapest driveway solutions for your home.

With all the benefits that come with our easy to install resin bound driveways, more and more homeowners are deciding to add resin-bound driveways to their properties in a range of colours and designs.
