Traditionally, splash strips and French drains have been the go-to solutions for managing water drainage between the house and slabs. While effective, these methods come with their own set of maintenance challenges. Enter resin bound stone—a modern, efficient, and low-maintenance alternative that not only matches but often surpasses traditional drainage solutions.
The Limitations of Splash Strips and French Drains
- Maintenance Hassles: Splash strips and French drains require regular cleaning to prevent blockages from leaves, dirt, and other debris. Over time, this can become a tedious and time-consuming task.
- Aesthetic Concerns: These traditional drainage solutions often don’t blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of your property, sometimes detracting from its curb appeal.
- Installation Complexity: Installing splash strips and French drains can be labor-intensive and disruptive, often requiring significant digging and groundwork.
The Advantages of Resin Bound Stone
- Effective Drainage: Resin bound stone provides excellent permeability, allowing water to drain through the surface effortlessly. This prevents water pooling and reduces the risk of flooding near your home’s foundation.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike splash strips and French drains, resin bound stone surfaces require minimal maintenance. There are no channels or grates to clean, and the surface remains free of debris with occasional sweeping or power washing.
- Seamless Integration: Resin bound stone can be installed to match the surrounding landscape, offering a sleek and cohesive look that enhances the overall aesthetic of your property.
- Durability: Resin bound stone is highly durable and resistant to cracking, which ensures long-lasting performance even under heavy foot traffic and varying weather conditions.
How Resin Bound Stone Works
Resin bound stone is a mixture of natural aggregate stones and resin. This combination is applied to a prepared base, creating a smooth and porous surface. The key benefits include:
- Porosity: The tiny gaps between the aggregates allow water to pass through, mimicking natural drainage processes and preventing surface water accumulation.
- Strength: The resin binds the stones together, creating a robust and resilient surface that can withstand wear and tear.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Available in various colors and finishes, resin bound stone can be customized to complement any property style.
Installation Process
- Preparation: The existing surface is cleared and prepared. This may include removing old splash strips or French drains.
- Base Layer: A suitable base layer is laid to ensure stability and optimal drainage.
- Mixing and Laying: The resin and aggregate mixture is prepared and spread evenly across the surface.
- Finishing: The surface is smoothed and left to cure, creating a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.
