🔨 What Preparation is Needed for a Resin Driveway?🔨

Before you install a Resin Bound Driveway, proper preparation is key to ensuring a long-lasting, durable surface. Taking the time to carefully prepare the area will not only improve the longevity of your driveway but also give you a smooth, professional finish that enhances the curb appeal of your property.

Here are the steps:

1️⃣ Clear the Area: Remove any old surface, weeds, and debris to create a clean slate for your new Resin Driveway.

First and foremost, you need to start with a clean slate. This means removing any existing driveway materials, such as old tarmac, gravel, or concrete. You will also need to clear away any debris, dirt, and weeds that may be present. Not only does this create a clean working area, but it ensures that the resin will bond properly with the surface beneath.

 

2️⃣ Ensure a Solid Sub-Base: The base needs to be strong and stable. This could be tarmac, concrete, or a permeable base to support the resin layer.

The sub-base is the foundation of your resin driveway and plays a critical role in supporting the surface. The sub-base needs to be strong, stable, and properly compacted to withstand the weight of vehicles over time. Depending on the condition of the area and your specific requirements, you can opt for various materials, such as tarmac, concrete, or a permeable base.

 

3️⃣ Apply a Bonding Layer: A special primer is used to ensure the resin adheres securely.

For the resin to adhere properly to the sub-base, a bonding layer is necessary. This special primer acts as a glue, ensuring a secure connection between the resin and the surface below. Without this bonding layer, the resin could potentially lift or peel off over time, particularly if the surface is not properly prepared. The primer also helps to prevent the growth of weeds or moss beneath the resin, which could otherwise undermine the surface’s durability.

 

4️⃣ Level the Ground: Make sure the area is level and free from any dips or uneven spots for a smooth finish.

Ensuring that the ground is perfectly level is another key step in the preparation process. Uneven surfaces can lead to issues such as water pooling in certain areas, creating puddles that can damage the surface and cause drainage problems. Additionally, dips and bumps will be noticeable in the finished driveway, which may affect both its appearance and its functionality. To level the ground, use a spirit level or laser level to measure the area and make sure it’s consistent. You may need to fill in low spots with a suitable material and compact it before moving on to the next step. Having a perfectly flat base is essential for achieving that sleek, smooth resin finish that’s both attractive and practical.
