Resin driveway maintenanceResin bound surfacing can be a great option for a commercial property looking to provide the wow factor to anyone visiting. The surface is visually stunning, extremely durable and hard wearing and drains water naturally. 

 

Keeping your resin bound driveway in a high quality condition is important and like any other surface it will need to be cleaned and maintained. This is because you will want to clear away:

 

  • Moss and Algae: Any areas of resin driveways which are regularly in the shade will suffer from this. Moss will make your driveway appear discoloured and generally unappealing to look at. 
     
  • Spillages: With a commercial driveway you would expect a regular flow of traffic. This will increase the risk of fuel and oil spillages making a mess. 
     
  • Tyre marks: Regular traffic could also result in tyre marks forming on resin driveways. These are more likely to form when a car’s wheels are turned before setting off.

Compared to other driveway surfaces resin is relatively low maintenance and generally only requires brushing and cleaning with soapy water. These techniques will help prevent the issues mentioned.

 

A power jet washer is recommended to spray down the surface. Due to the natural drainage system formed by the surface no puddles will form. After this a stiff brush should be used to remove any remaining debris.

 

This maintenance should be carried out regularly to avoid a build-up of moss and debris while any severe spillages should be dealt with immediately to avoid long term surface damage.
