Resin bound driveways vs traditional block paving

Are you looking to update your driveway? Overwhelmed with opinions and options?

Luckily, Oltco is on hand to help you to determine which surface option best suits your needs.

Cost
Did you know that resin bound is actually comparable in cost to block paving?  One of the main benefits of choosing resin bound is that the prices are more consistent in comparison to block paving where prices can vary significantly. Typically, block pavers are made from cut stone which is an expensive material and can be difficult to work with. Block paving tends to create added costs after installation as it may sink and may also need resealing as weeds can grow between the spaces. Resin bound doesn’t require this and is very low maintenance, providing better value for your money. With a 20-year guarantee, Oltco also provides you with the confidence that you won’t have to spend money again in a few years.

Practicality
Oltco’s resin bound driveways are SUDS   (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliant, meaning they are porous, and water drains away quickly, preventing puddles and potential staining. Because of this, resin bound is also the ideal solution for updating other external surfaces including patios, balconies, pathways and pool surrounds.

Anti-slip
Oltco’s surfaces provide the ideal solution for steep driveways, providing an anti-slip surface and no loose chippings. Therefore, it is perfect for customers who require a flat, even and stable surface. This is ideal for families, elderly people or individuals who require more stability and safety in their outside spaces… especially with the colder weather arriving.

Weed growth
Resin bound minimises weed growth and leaves you with a low maintenance driveway, whereas block paving has many gaps which allow space for weed growth.

Colour options
Oltco offers a wide range of colour options as well as borders, patterns and symbols to match your property’s individual style. In comparison, traditional block paving can offer some colour variations however the original colour fades much quicker. The fading colour, coupled with the weed growth, leads to a driveway which no longer resembles the outside space you originally desired.

Installation
Resin bound driveways can often be installed within one day by Oltco whereas block paving typically takes longer to lay. In comparison, resin bound surfacing results in minimal disruption for you.

Eco-friendly options
Renowned for its forward thinking solutions, Oltco put this to good use by creating the world’s first driveway solution made utilising waste plastic which is already in circulation (straws, plastic drink bottles and plastic food packaging).

Recycle Bound has already recycled the equivalent of over 40 million plastic straws and is being used not only on driveways up and down the country but also at some of the UK’s leading hotels and attractions. This product has been so successful it has already received accolades like being named runner up for ‘Recycled Product of the Year’ in the National
Recycling Awards.
