Resin Bound Drives vs other Drives & Patios?

Resin bound driveways are a popular choice for homeowners because they offer a number of advantages over other types of driveways. However, how do resin bound drives compare to other types of drives? Let's start by looking at the known benefits of resin bound drives, such as:

Durability: Resin bound drives are made from a mixture of resin and aggregate. Therefore, they are extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear. Crucially, they are also resistant to frost, UV light, and chemicals.
Permeability: Resin bound drives are permeable, which means that water can drain through them. Consequently, this helps to reduce flooding and surface water runoff. Additionally, it also makes them ideal for use in areas with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) requirements.
Low maintenance: Resin bound drives are very low maintenance. Therefore, they can be easily cleaned with a jet wash or brush and they do not require sealing or repointing.
Aesthetics: Resin bound drives are available in a wide range of colors and styles, so you can create a driveway that perfectly complements your property.
