You’ve done your research on all the different driveway surfaces that you could possibly choose from and you’ve decided on a new resin driveway. But how long can you expect your new driveway to last? Well, like anything, there are a number of variables, with the main one being how professional the company is you choose to install the resin driveway.
Should a resin driveway last more than 10 years?
Resin is a refreshingly resilient driveway option – this is because the aggregates used vary in size, offering additional strength and durability to the surface. This makes it ideal for vehicles and heavy footfall.
It’s a SUDs complaint material if installed correctly and with the correct sub-base – this enables water such as rain, ice and snow to disperse and find its way naturally into the native ground below without any further assistance. This is vitally important as built up surface water on other driveway surfaces you could select from would dramatically reduce the lifespan of the driveway, affecting its functionality.
Resin Driveways – Built to last
Resin is a quality, premium product – this cannot be understated. If you look after your driveway after the installation with the correct aftercare and maintenance, it will look the part for many years to come, and well beyond your 10 year guarantee offered by us here at The Yorkshire Resin Company. We’ve seen well cared for resin driveways lasting for 15-20 years, making them an excellent value investment.
Resin surfaces are constructed in a way that allows slight flexibility so that they can fully stand up to all the Yorkshire weather we endure. From cold, wet winters, to the hotter temperatures in summer months. You shouldn’t find any problems with cracking and alike, provided the surface has been instaleld to the correct specification.
Cowboy Resin Driveway Installers
Unfortunately there are many cowboy installers that will cut corners; using inferior products and materials as well as not excavating fully or laying to insufficient depths. Choosing a company because their prices are cheaper will lead to many problems later down the line and they won’t be around to put things right, resulting a very costly repair or even having to have a whole new driveway installed to the correct specifications.
We believe here at The Yorkshire Resin Company that we’ll install you a value for money resin driveway, we won’t always be the cheapest quote you receive, but you will be assured of a beautiful, hard wearing, long lasting resin driveway that will last the test of time.
