Resin is used due to the durable, smooth and low maintenance surface it provides. Aggregate can be placed on top of this, due to the resin acting as the top layer. Resin bonded surfaces have the resin already applied before gravel is put down, whereas a bounded surface would have the two mixed together first. Resin bonded surfaces tend to be more financially friendly than a bounded one, but still provides a strong option for a driveway.
An advantage of using resin is that you can choose out of a number of colours, meaning you have more variety. Compared to other choices, having a resin-based surface is generally cheaper. It is also reasonably quicker to fit, taking only a few days. However, this is dependent on the elements. If it is a wet day the glue could be affected, which is needed for the aggregate to stick properly. It is also best to check what sort of resin is used, particularly if you want one with UV protection. In natural light stone can eventually get darker if it is not protected, which isn’t crucial, but if you don’t want that to happen then the resin needs to include it. Maintenance wise, giving the surface a regular clean should prevent moss and weeds growing there, which would be dangerous if left, due to becoming slippery.
If you’re not sure what sort you should get, then it is best you get advice from a professional. Call Test valley paving for Resin Bonding on your Paving and Driveways in Salisbury.
