Resin Bound Driveways Pros and Cons – The Cons
There’s no regulation of resin bound installers/contractors (come to think of it there’s no regulation for any driveway installers/contractors!) Why does this matter? Unlike other paving surfaces that are more difficult to install, the outlay to start up in the resin side of the business are minimal. Therefore, some poorly experienced installers and ‘shark paving companies‘ are out there, so exercising caution is advisable.
There’s a big difference in the types of resin available. If you’re going for a darker stone and want an overall darker finish – protection from UV is less important. However, if you’re going for lighter coloured stone and want a lighter resin finish using a resin that offers UV protection is imperative.

Consistency when laying is key to prevent lifting and patches. Also, ensuring any cracks are completely filled (if laying on concrete sub base) is also very important during the preparation stage.
