As a leading supplier of resin in the UK, we want to ensure our customers understand the best ways to maintain their resin-bound driveway, ensuring its longevity. Resin-bound driveways have grown in popularity over the last few years and are a great addition to any property, with its durability, kerb appeal, and low maintenance upkeep.
Although resin-bound driveways need little maintenance, like any outdoor surface, they require some care to ensure they remain in good condition.
What Should you Consider to Help Maintain your Resin-Bound Driveway?
Regular Cleaning
Removing dirt and debris from the surface is essential for maintaining the appearance and durability of your resin-bound driveway. Weekly sweeping is recommended to help remove any loose dirt, leaves and small stones from the surface. This prevents organic material from breaking down and potentially staining the surface.
Weed Control
Weeds can occasionally grow in the joints and around the edges of your resin-bound driveway if dust and dirt are not removed. When getting rid of any unwanted weeds, use resin-safe weed killer.
Seasonal Maintenance
In the winter months, ensure you use a plastic shovel only to scrap ice and snow up. Rock salt can be used on a resin-bound surface, but the abrasive nature of the material can remove the glossy finish. If using rock salt, ensure to rinse your driveway once freezing temperatures are over.
In the summer months, hot weather can cause resin driveways to become more pliable. Avoid heavy turning of vehicle wheels on the spot to prevent any surface marks.
Maintaining your resin-bound driveway is important in prolonging the look and durability of the resin. Regular cleaning will keep your driveway looking its best for years to come.
