Why Should You Consider a Resin Bound Patio?
When transforming your outdoor space, selecting the right patio surface is just as crucial as the overall design. One option that has become increasingly popular among homeowners is a resin bound patio and it’s easy to see why, given its many advantages.
In this blog, we’ll explore the key reasons why a resin bound patio could be the perfect addition to your garden.
Resin bound patios offer enhanced aesthetics
First impressions matter and your home is no different, and that’s where resin patios truly deliver. They offer a smooth, seamless surface with gorgeous stone aggregates bound in strong and sustainable resin, creating a finish that’s both elegant and contemporary.
Our range of colours is inspired by the stunning, iconic beaches of Cornwall, capturing the natural beauty and unique character of our breath taking coastline. Whether you’re looking to create a warm, inviting patio or a modern, elegant outdoor space, our Cornish beach-inspired palette has something to suit every style.
Durable and long-lasting resin bound patios
Your patio needs to stand up to the British weather and resin bound surfacing is built to last. The UV-stable resin ensures the colour won’t fade in the sun, while the tough, flexible surface resists cracking and wear. Unlike traditional paving or decking, you won’t have to worry about loose stones, weeds growing through, or unsightly cracks appearing over time.
Resin bound surfacing is fully permeable, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the surface instead of pooling on top. This helps prevent unsightly puddles and reduces the risk of flooding, keeping your patio safe, dry, and looking its best all year round.
Low maintenance resin bound surfacing
One of the biggest advantages of a resin bound patio is how easy it is to maintain. The seamless surface makes it difficult for weeds to take hold, and moss and algae are less likely to grow.
A quick sweep with a firm bristle brush and the occasional power wash is usually all it takes to keep your patio looking as good as new for years to come. Follow our guide to jet washing your resin bound surface.
Safe and slip-resistant
Safety is always a top priority, especially in a family garden. The smooth yet textured finish of a resin bound patio provides excellent slip resistance, even in wet or icy conditions, helping to reduce the risk of slips and falls. This makes it an ideal choice for households with young children, older family members, or anyone who simply wants extra peace of mind, whatever the weather. Unlike traditional gravel surfaces, there’s no loose stone to scatter around or create trip hazards, so your garden stays tidy, safe, and easy to walk on all year round.
Quick and efficient installation
Compared to laying traditional concrete or paving, installing a resin bound patio is a relatively quick process, meaning less disruption to your home and garden. Depending on the size of your patio, the Oltco team may be able to complete your installation within one day, and it’ll be usable within 48 hours.
