How Do Resin Driveways Impact The Environment?

Resin driveways have many potential impacts on the environment, some good and some bad. In this blog post, we are going to explore the possible benefits of resin driveways on our surroundings.

Water Management & Permeability

Firstly, the permeability that resin driveways offer is a huge environmental benefit. The resin allows water to soak through it's surface, which reduces water run-off and flooding, and helps replenish groundwater levels, which in turn will contribute to improved water management and reduced strain on local water systems.

Reducing The Heat Island Effect

Resin driveways can help to reduce the heat island effect on urban areas due to its ability to reflect sunlight as opposed to absorbing lots of heat.  By maintaining cooler surface temperatures, resin driveways can create better overall comfort, whilst reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases.

Compared to block paving or tarmac materials, resin driveways are known for their strength and longevity. Resin driveways are also much less likely to crack, fade and show much wear-and-tear, this means that maintenance is minimal and the need for replacement is far less frequent, therefore reducing the demand for raw materials and limiting the environmental impact associated with transportation and manufacturing.

There are many environmental benefits offered to you by resin driveways that can improve environmental quality. Homeowners are able to make a positive impact on the environment by maximising these advantages, whilst enjoying the aesthetic benefits of resin driveways.

Consistent traction from resin surfaces protects adults during daily tasks and youngsters during play. They are especially useful as driveway surfaces for the elderly because of their non-slip qualities, which lower the possibility of falls, which can have detrimental effects on senior citizens.
