Nottingham Resin Patios
As requests increase for resin patios it's really important to understand what this could look like as there are two main types of resin patios.
In very simple terms there are resin bound patios and resin bonded patios. We would always recommend resin bound as there are a number of benefits over bonded, which we will explain in a little more detail below but it will be a more costly option. The other aspects which can effect cost will be whether or not you want UV protected resin.
Again we would always recommend a UV resistant resin as the danger can be the development of uneven colouring across your patio. This is most likely to occur if you have different parts of your patio that have much longer periods in shade than other parts and this could start showing up on your patio if you do not select UV resistant resin.
There are now many different shades of resin with a small selection below so you should have no issues finding a colour you like.

Resin Bound Pathways Nottingham
Arranging to install a resin bound pathway will provide instant kerb appeal and provide a unique transformation to the front of any property. Resin bound pathway are seen as a premium pathway material and its subtle but wide range of colours means that you will more likely than not find a style for your property whether it is a new contemporary property or an older more traditional home.
Features such as edging and using in conjunction with block paving provides a lot of versatility to complement properties of all ages and styles.
As a resin bound pathway has very low maintenance requirements, it is easy to keep clean and with no need for planning permission if selected, it’s perhaps not surprising that this is the fastest growing surface choice for patio and driveways in the UK.
Since resin bound pathway provide a permeable surface solution it makes it SuDS (sustainable drainage systems) compliant - so you will not need to have additional drainage installed, such as a soak away, that can be a little unsightly. This means that your resin pathway is not going to put additional strain on the county's waste water management process and is therefore good form an environmental perspective
When asking about the
cost of installing a resin bound pathway, it’s important to bear in mind that prices may vary depending on type of base preparation needed for goof natural drainage and what impact this may may on the amount of sub base materials required and labour time to install them. In general, however, you should expect to pay in excess of £100/m² for an experienced installer that uses quality products and materials.
Resin Patios
Whilst most resin installers will advise on choosing a resin bound patio there can be a place for resin bonded patios as long as you know what to expect from one.
A resin bonded patio will provide a more traditional look than its bound counter part. The surface finish will be rougher than a resin bound patio with fixed aggregates unlike gravel or chippings. Whilst, over time there will be a loosening of some small stone most will not move and you will be left with a resin surfaces that provides excellent grip and good durability. As a result it can be used for pathways with as people provide light traffic for the surface. A resin bonded system has a textured feel that is pleasant to walk on, but also provides good grip for wheelchairs or disabled ramps, which wouldn't be the case with gravel. So whilst the finished pathway or patio may look like loose gravel the surface stone will not move.
As previously highlighted unfortunately resin bonded surfaces are not permeable, so additional drainage will need to be installed to prevent water building up following rain. If a particular patio is going to be subjected to heavy usage then it is likely that this area will suffer from greater stone displacement, which will become visually noticeable over time.

Resin Patio Installers Nottingham
When we install resin bound patios our focus is always on providing a quality installation. This quality can become compromised is installation is carried out in heavy rain. If rain is forecast during your installation dates we cannot simply 'work faster' as the resin manufacturers strongly advise on spreading resin on a patios at approximately 20 square meters per hour in order for it to cure and set properly. If installation is interrupted causing delays in spreading this will negatively impact on the setting of the resin.
We would not want to install your patio in heavy rain, as the resin mixture is unlikely to set properly. If the resin does not set properly then the surface adhesion will be greatly weakened. Whilst you may not notice an immediate problem wet stones in lower layers not staying ion place cold result in an uneven finish and an uneven finish could lead to areas which could allow puddles to form as proper permeability of the resin and aggregates has not been achieved. If there are areas below the surface where water can collect this can lead to damage and quicker deterioration of your patio as freezing temperatures will cause ice to expand and result in damage.
As we want to ensure our work and your investment are not compromised, we would much advise you that there will be a delay in the completion the installation of your resin patio. If the resin is exposed to too much moisture while setting, it will negatively impact the quality of your patio resulting in costly repairs in the future, which we do not what to see. If we feel that the weather is likely to compromise the quality of our installation and your resin patio we will prefer to arrange an alternative installation schedule with you to ensure you get the best patio possible.
