Kerb Appeal

One of the things that always puts me off when I view houses, or even just have a Rightmove snoop, is a tired looking exterior. I always think, that’s something I’ll either never get round to doing or, it’ll be a really big project. But that’s before I knew about resin driveways as most of the time these can be laid over existing surfaces so there’s no need for digging up your old driveway and having to hire a skip or spend your weekends at the tip. Of course sometimes there’ll be excavation needed, especially if you have flagstones or paving as a resin driveway can’t be laid on top of these but a good local resin driveway company like Yorkshire Resin will be able to let you know more about your particular project.

Low Maintenance Revamp

Transform your old grubby home exteriors into a fresh and modern entrance for your home with a low maintenance resin driveway. No, I’d never heard if it either but I’ve definitely seen them and thought that they looked really smart. It’s all about knowing what things are called and what to search for when buying a house and renovating or decorating but when you’re a first or second time buyer and new to renovating your home it can be tricky to know where to start. As you can see, this method doesn’t just have to stop at your driveway, you can take it all the way up to your front door with exterior steps and create a really striking look.

The Lowdown

So, how does it work? Once your existing driveway is cleaned and repaired (if necessary), it’s primed with a resin primer which protects the surface and ensures maximum adhesion to the existing surface. You would have already chosen from over 30 colours for your driveway from bright white to shiny black and everything in between – you can even create your own if there isn’t a finish in the wide range to suit your particular tastes. You’ll end up with a lovely smooth and hard wearing driveway which is ideal for children, the older generation and anyone with mobility issues as the finish is anti-slip. It’ll be ready in no time too as you can walk on in within 6 hours and drive onto it within 24 hours.

An Eco-Friendly Choice

Plus, resin driveways from Yorkshire Resin are SUD (sustainable urban drainage) compliant which means water such as rain and water from your annual power clean soaks through the surface and into the natural ground below. This is great and means that no planning permission is needed for your exterior home renovation.

Finally, if you’re an environmentally conscious customer then a resin driveway could be very interesting to you. As it’s permeable and this helps with natural water drainage the driveways themselves can be created from recycled stones for an even more sustainable take. A resin driveway is also more wildlife-friendly due to the drainage aspect – the SUD compliant systems allow for the breakdown of pollutants that could be harmful to wildlife, by slowing the water runoff.

Now that you’ve got all the information about resin driveways do you think you’d be interested in one? I’d definitely consider it for a future home renovation.
