Resin VS Block Paving

Charlie Clark • June 20, 2024

When investing in a brand-new driveway surface, choosing the best material is extremely important to achieve a long-lasting finish, as well as increasing the aesthetic appeal of your home. Resin and block pave driveways are two very popular options, both with their own advantages and disadvantages. Throughout this blog post, we will discuss which one will offer you the best driveway outcome

Durability & Longevity

Resin driveways are notorious for their longevity and durability, typically lasting 15 to 20 years, with minimal maintenance. Block paving driveways are known to shift and crack overtime, making resin the most durable alternative.

Adaptability & Customisation

If you're looking to add a personal touch to your driveway, resin is a perfect option due to their customisation flexibility. Resin driveways offer a number of colours, finishes and even patterns, allowing you to create a unified look, matching your driveway to the rest of your home. Block paving driveways offer fewer design alternatives, making it far less flexible

Low Maintenance

Resin driveways are a practical option for busy homeowners, because of their amazing durability, they require far less maintenance than block paving for example. For homeowners investing in a resin driveway, we will always suggest occasional sweeping and jet washing in order to maintain its appearance. On the other hand, block paving driveways require a bit more upkeep, as they need to be re-sealed on a regular basis. 

Sustainability

Resin driveways are a perfect option for environmentally conscious homeowners. Due to resin being a porous material, it allows water to seep through the surface, reducing the risk of run-off and flooding. Block paving is an impermeable surface, therefore you are at a greater risk of a flooded driveway.

To conclude, in the majority of cases, resin driveways tend to be the best option for homeowners looking for a safe, durable and aesthetically pleasing driveway. Resin driveways are an affordable and long-lasting investment for your home, also increasing the resale value. Consider investing in a resin driveway in order to reap the benefits and have your exterior looking warm and welcoming.
