Advantages of a Resin Driveway in Winter
With the winter months well and truly here, cold temperatures and damp a regular occurrence, it’s essential that your driveway surface is suitable for the colder climate. It is extremely important to consider yours and others safety as well as the durability and appearance of your driveway. Resin has a number of useful unique qualities which work all year round, but it also has a number of advantages over other surfaces in the winter months, which makes it a winner in our eyes. Here are some of the reasons resin works so well in winter:
• Water, such as snow, sleet and ice will sink through a resin driveway as the surface is porous, this will then find its way to the soil below. No stagnant water will be able to collect on the surface and become slippery and you avoid the potential hazards that ice can bring. The porous quality is also important with the heavy rainfall and flash floods we are experiencing frequently at the moment.
• Regardless of the weather, resin has anti-slip properties and no loose stones, so perfect for its safety benefits in those wet winter months. This helps with keeping yourself stable as well as the stability of your vehicle.
• Unlike many other driveway surfaces, resin driveways have minimal maintenance requirements, the UV-stable resin binds the natural aggregates together and prevents unwanted contaminated growth of moss and weeds. This saves you having to clean it regularly in the cold winter months, and have more time inside and cosy!
• If you look after your resin driveway you should expect it to last up to 25 years, even with the weather during the harshest of winters. We only offer premium materials to our customers.
