What are the Main benefits of Resin?
Resin driveways are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Here are some comparisons between resin driveways and other types of driveways:
Resin vs. concrete: Resin driveways are more flexible than concrete, which makes them less prone to cracking and other types of damage. Resin driveways also have a more uniform surface, which means that they are less likely to develop potholes or other uneven areas over time. However, concrete driveways can be more cost-effective than resin driveways, especially for larger areas.
Resin vs. asphalt: Both resin and asphalt driveways are durable and relatively low maintenance. However, resin driveways are more resistant to UV rays and weather damage than asphalt driveways, which can become brittle and crack over time. Resin driveways are also more customizable in terms of color and design than asphalt driveways, which are typically black or gray.
Resin vs. gravel: Resin driveways offer a more stable and uniform surface than gravel driveways, which can shift and become uneven over time. Resin driveways are also easier to maintain than gravel driveways, which can require frequent topping up and raking to keep the surface level. However, gravel driveways can be more cost-effective than resin driveways, especially for larger areas.
Overall, resin driveways offer a unique combination of durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal that make them a popular choice for many homeowners.
Yes, resin driveways can be designed to be permeable. Permeable resin driveways are constructed using a porous sub-base, which allows rainwater to pass through the surface and into the ground below. This helps to prevent water from pooling on the surface, which can cause damage and create safety hazards.
Permeable resin driveways are also environmentally friendly, as they help to reduce the risk of flooding and allow rainwater to be absorbed into the ground, replenishing the water table.
Resin driveways are generally designed to be strong and durable enough to withstand the weight of vehicles. As long as your resin driveway is installed properly and is of sufficient thickness, it should be able to support the weight of cars and other vehicles without sustaining damage.
At Southern Counties Resins, we often get asked; is resin expensive and are resin driveways expensive?
The cost of a resin driveway can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the area, the complexity of the design, and the type of resin used. In general, resin driveways are considered to be a mid-range to high-end option.
Compared to other types of driveways, resin driveways can be more expensive than gravel or asphalt but less expensive than some types of concrete or natural stone. However, resin driveways offer several advantages over these other materials, including durability, low maintenance, and customization options. Taking into account that the resin needs far less maintenance it will work out as a great investment over time.

Resin driveways are generally easy to clean. The smooth surface of a resin driveway means that dirt, debris, and stains can be easily removed with a broom, pressure washer, or hose. Resin driveways are also resistant to oil and other common driveway stains, so spills can be easily cleaned up without leaving any permanent marks.
To clean a resin driveway, you should first remove any loose dirt and debris with a broom or leaf blower. Then, you can use a pressure washer or hose to rinse the surface. If there are any stubborn stains, you can use a mild detergent or a specialized resin cleaner to remove them.
It's important to note that resin driveways should not be cleaned with abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals as they can damage the surface. Instead, use soft-bristled brushes or non-abrasive cleaning solutions to ensure that your resin driveway stays looking its best.
No! Resin bound paving is SUDs compliant. So, in most cases, you do not require planning permission for installing a resin bound driveway in the UK. Resin bound paving is considered to be a permeable surface, which means that it allows rainwater to pass through and soak into the ground below. As a result, it is not considered to be a "hard" surface in the same way that concrete or asphalt is, and is therefore exempt from certain planning regulations.
