Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about resin driveways, patios, pathways and indoor resin flooring from All Surface Resin Contractors.
Everything you need to know
If you are planning a resin surface and want to know more about cost, maintenance, durability or installation, these are some of the most common questions we get asked.
What is a resin-bound surface?
A resin-bound surface is made by mixing decorative aggregate with a specialist resin and applying it to create a smooth, attractive and permeable finish. It is a popular choice for driveways, patios, pathways and outdoor spaces.
Is resin suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Yes. Resin can be used for outdoor surfaces such as driveways, patios, pathways and courtyards, as well as indoor areas including garages, utility rooms, commercial floors and other interior spaces.
How long does a resin surface last?
A professionally installed resin surface can last for many years when it is laid on the correct base and properly maintained. Lifespan depends on usage, preparation and ongoing care.
Are resin driveways low maintenance?
Yes. Resin surfaces are generally low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional washing will help keep the surface looking clean and tidy. Weed growth is also reduced compared with many traditional finishes.
Is resin slippery when wet?
Resin surfaces can offer good slip resistance when installed correctly and finished properly. The exact level of grip can depend on the aggregate used and where the surface is being installed.
Can resin be laid over an existing surface?
In some cases, yes. This depends on the condition, stability and type of the existing base underneath. We always recommend checking the site first to make sure the surface is suitable before any installation begins.
Do resin driveways crack?
Any surface can have issues if the base is poor or movement occurs underneath. Proper preparation is the key. A strong, stable base gives the best chance of a long-lasting and crack-resistant finish.
Can I choose different colours and finishes?
Yes. Resin surfaces are available in a wide range of colours and aggregate blends, so you can choose a finish that suits the style of your home or commercial property.
How much does a resin driveway cost?
The cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing base, the type of finish required and the amount of preparation needed. The best way to get an accurate price is with a free quotation.
How long does installation take?
Installation time varies depending on the size of the area, weather conditions and whether groundwork or base preparation is needed first. Smaller jobs can often be completed quickly, while larger projects may take longer.
