Why choose resin bound Paving in Billericay?

Due to the increase in flooding and increased awareness of flood prevention, permeable resin bound pavement has experienced a substantial growth.

Substandard installations are becoming more common as resin bound paving demand has increased. This is frustrating for premium paving products that, if installed properly, will last 25 years.

It is relatively new and is one of the few trades in the construction industry that does not have a governing body. There is no Paving Expert website to get independent advice on resin bound paving.

We invented clear resin bound Paving for External Use nearly 22 Years ago. Our staff are just as excited about the product and its potential today as Peter Kevin and Michael were back in 1997, when Elite Resin Driveways was established.

So here they are – 10 really good reasons to choose resin bound paving…

It’s permeable. Cold-mixed on-site, the process ensures that each stone particle is completely covered with resin. This creates a structurally strong 3D matrix. The laying process creates tiny cracks that allow water to flow through.
It’s visually pleasing. Resin bound paving is durable, practical, and versatile.
It is resistant to all weather conditions.
It is durable and lasts a long time. Resin bound pavement is extremely durable. Although there are no guarantees, it can last for up to 25-years if it is properly installed and maintained.
It needs very little maintenance. There are no loose stones or weeds that you need to remove. You can keep it looking new by brushing it regularly and using a power washer occasionally.
It allows natural filtration. As surface or rain water seeps under the base, a natural process of filtration takes place. This reduces or removes pollutants and impurities from oils and metals.
It reduces standing water (puddles), which reduces surface water runoff and flash flooding.
It’s SuDS compliant (Sustainable urban drainage systems): A water management system created by Environment Agency in order to manage flood risk, water quality, and flood risk.
It reduces the “heat island” effect. Heat islands can occur when concrete and asphalt hard surfaces absorb heat and store it. Permeable Paving allows the soil below to breathe, which reduces surface temperatures.
No need to obtain planning permission: Since 2008 government legislation, planning permission has not been required for areas less 5m2 or new surfaces that are permeable.

They are more affordable than traditional paving options, which...

Are impermeable
You can go more industrial with your look
Are not weather resistant
You have a very short functional life span
Require more maintenance
Flash flooding can be caused by creating puddles
These are not SuDS compliant (a water-management system created by the Environment Agency for flood risk management) and so require planning permission.
You can retain heat and make a contribution to the “heat island” effect.

How is resin bound paving made?

The process is complicated, and Elite Resin Driveways has perfected the art of it.

The unique cold mixing process we use ensures that every piece of stone is covered in resin. This forms a structurally strong 3D matrix. This stone mix is composed of natural aggregate, recycled materials and marble.

The strength and endurance of resin bound pavers is dependent on how tightly the stones were packed.

This process mixes natural aggregate, recycled materials, and clear resin together. We coat each of these small stones with resin, one at a time. Once the resin binding is complete, the particles are placed on the base.

After the surface is laid, the final depth can range between 12mm and 24mm, depending on the type of stone used and its function. Driveways and public spaces, such as playgrounds, will require slightly different depths.
