How To Fix Potential Issues With Your Resin Driveway
Common Problems With Resin Driveways
Resin driveways have
grown in popularity in recent years because they
last a long time,
look amazing, and require
little maintenance. However, just like any other type of
driveway surface, resin driveways can develop
problems over time. This blog post will discuss some
common resin drive issues and provide
helpful tips on
how to resolve them.
Cracks in a Resin Driveway
Some resin driveways may have
cracks or
potholes, depending on the company that installed your driveway and their
respective standards. This could be due to
vehicle traffic,
weather conditions, and
other factors, but it is most likely due to
suboptimal installation. Our company offers a
10-year guarantee to reassure our customers and demonstrate that we have the
highest standards in the industry.
Fading Colours
Some driveway companies use a
resin that is
not UV resistant, which causes the drive to
fade and become
discoloured over time. If you were unlucky and used one of these companies, the best thing you can do is
clean your driveway on a regular basis with a
mild detergent.
Strong chemicals should be avoided because they can cause this type of resin to fade. In our case, we make certain that we use the
best product
available, so that it is both
UV resistant and
stain resistant. Fortunately, if you hired us or a similar company, your driveway will not be discoloured.
Weed Problems
Weeds can be an annoyance if your driveway was poorly installed. Because they can grow through
small cracks or
gaps in the driveway, you'll need to
weed on a regular basis or use a
weed killer designed for resin surfaces. To avoid this type of issue, we use a
weed-resistant membrane during the
installation process.
Stain Issues
It is uncommon to see
stains in any type of
resin driveway; however, if you do see a stain, it should be
simple to remove. Substances such as
oil,
grease, and
strong chemicals pose a higher risk if not
addressed quickly. You can easily remove these stains with a
mild detergent; just don't leave them for too long. Please
contact us for specific cleaning recommendations.
Drainage Problems
You could have a
problem if a company overlooked the
drainage situation for your driveway. If the drainage system is
not installed properly or at all, you may experience
poor drainage and
water pooling. In our case, we use a
permeable resin surface to help with
water run-off, and if necessary, we install a
new drainage system beneath the resin to
avoid water pooling or
flooding.
Resin driveways have
many advantages, but they can also have some
drawbacks over time. By addressing these common issues as soon as possible, you can ensure that your resin driveway lasts a long time and looks great. A
beautiful and
durable resin driveway will last for years with
regular maintenance,
proper cleaning methods, and
timely repairs. To ensure that the company you're working with is the right one for you, always ask them if they offer a
guarantee and if you can see work from several
years ago.
