Resin patios are unique. They’re fashionable and practical, making them the perfect choice for you and your household.
On our site, we usually talk about the sensible benefits of resin-bound patios – porous, slip-resistant, SUDS-compliant, strong, weed-resistant and so on.
Today, though, we’re talking about all the freedom a resin patio brings and how installing one can make all the difference to your home.
Transform your garden
Having any sort of cared-for garden is fantastic. You have the space to enjoy nature, taking in the fresh, green grass and the birds or simply lying in the sun.
But you need somewhere to enjoy it from. That’s where your resin patio comes in.
A patio is usually a relatively drab, grey area in the corner of your garden, attached to at least one back door. It’s an extra thing to weed and clean, and thus most people eventually end up ignoring it.
A resin patio can be designed in almost any way (and come in vibrant colours if you want). It also requires far less maintenance than contemporary materials. These things alone help you enjoy your garden without feeling like the patio is a stressful space requiring your attention.
Host awesome outdoor parties
Outdoor parties in summer part of the British culture. With your grandmother’s awkwardly tiny cucumber sandwiches and your dad trying to figure out how to light the barbecue in the wind once-a-year, there’s nothing quite like it.
The great British garden party experience is infinitely better with a resin patio, though. As well as having a beautiful space to show off to your family, friends or neighbours, you won’t have to worry about trip hazards or weeding before guests arrive.
A quick jet wash will have it clean, sparkling and good as new.
Give your kids a safe space to play
The average modern child spends less time playing outdoors. Electronic devices and the need to give kids more detailed scheduled times to fit around the busy lives of their parents or carers contribute to this.
Whatever the reason, a resin patio gives them a great excuse to get outside in the sunshine (or rain). The resin itself contains grit, giving the surface a natural anti-slip property. This means your children can run around and play with less of a risk of falling than, for instance, gravel.
At the same time, you could design a fun patio with them in mind.
Create a fun-looking space
Who said a resin patio has to be boring? The nature of resin means it’s easy to lay in different shapes and colours, set by the aggregate within.
While most people are satisfied with plain, smooth surfaces of varying pinks and greys, you could opt for vibrant colours or several variations and patterns.
The only limitation is what’s physically possible. Naturally, complex designs also take much longer to lay and thus would be more expensive.
Add value to your home
Of course, we can’t mention resin patios without briefly touching on how they add value to your home.
A property is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. That’s the general rule. The more attractive you can make it look, the more money someone will give you.
A resin patio makes a massive difference to your garden and outdoor space. When someone is viewing a property, this is the kind of thing that makes them pay attention and take your listing seriously.
Combined with other factors, all this contributes to a higher market value and a more straightforward selling process.
It’s probably best to avoid any outrageous colours mentioned previously if you’re installing a resin patio to add property value.
Is a resin patio from Buffalo Driveways worth it?
A resin patio is firm and robust. Provided it’s installed on a well-built and laid sub-base, it’ll last decades, maintaining its appearance and functionality with the slightest maintenance.
Although these resin-bound products carry a higher initial cost than alternatives like paving slabs or concrete, they survive much longer and need less looking after. This makes them a more sensible investment, never mind all the other benefits.
