Winter Care Guide: Looking After Your Premier Resin Drives in South Wales
At Premier Resin Drives, we know that our resin-bound driveways, patios, and pathways are designed to withstand all kinds of British weather. Including, the cold, wet winters across South Wales and the South West. Moreover, with excellent drainage, UV-stable resin, and durable materials, our surfaces are built to last. But a little extra care during icy or snowy conditions will help keep your home looking its best year after year. That’s why we’ve put together our Winter Care Guide for resin bound driveways, patios, and pathways.
Clear Snow Gently and Early
If snow settles on your Premier Resin Drive or patio, it’s best to remove it as soon as possible using a soft brush or plastic shovel. Avoid scraping too hard, gentle clearing is all that’s needed to protect your surface.
Avoid Rock Salt and Harsh Chemicals
Rock salt and strong chemical de-icers can damage resin surfaces over time. Instead, for extra grip, use a resin-safe de-icing product. Although, our resin-bound drives already provide good slip resistance thanks to their natural texture.
Let Ice Melt Naturally
Because Premier Resin Drives surfaces are fully permeable, water drains away rather than sitting on top. If ice forms, allow it to thaw naturally. Avoid chipping at ice, which could mark or damage the resin.
Keep Leaves and Debris Clear
Fallen leaves and debris can trap moisture and encourage algae during winter. A simple sweep now and then keeps your resin driveways, patios, and pathways looking pristine and ensures safe drainage.
Be Mindful During Freezing Temperatures
During prolonged frost, try to avoid placing heavy vehicles or equipment on the surface. This helps protect both the resin and the underlying substrate during freeze-thaw cycles.
Gentle Cleaning Is Best
If cleaning is needed, a low-pressure wash and mild detergent are perfect. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure jets during winter as they aren’t necessary and could cause damage.
A Final Word from Premier Resin Drives
