looking for a resin floor black shiny
Q

Hi Karen, Are you still looking into this? I'm aware that resin flooring is often one of the last things in a project, so you may still be looking for guidance or have found a temporary solution... We install poured resin floors in almost any colour, so a black floor should be no problem. The only advice I'd add, is that black shiny floors pick up dust and dirt really easily - we'd recommend going for off-black or one of our Motion colours (a blend of two pigments to create some movement) and our floors come in a matt-silk finish. I've attached some pictures below if these give you an idea - do let us know if you'd like any more information or images! Isobel (Sphere8)

Resin Bound is fully permeable, virtually maintenance and weed free and is long lasting if installed properly by fully trained installers. with all aspects and possible problems addressed before the resin bound aggregate is laid you should not have any problems for many years and with the initial outlay in cost it should be worth that little bit extra. use as we do a very good resin, prime and address problem areas before and you wont have any problems. we offer over 20 different mixes as standard and a bespoke service for that extra special mix. with this in mind you should be able to maintain the look and quality of your drive, path or patio for many years to come with no loss of colour or quality.

Driveway help... resin bound or not?

As mentioned previously, some pictures of a recently finished landscaping project using granite setts / blocks. Also with a red brick house so the contrasting colours shows up nicely. Options for perimeter detailing such as the sugar cube borders etc. Permeable joints and bedding used to the driveway drains itself, no need for surface water drainage system with channel drains etc. PS - photo's unedited, will upload to a new project page soon.

Resin Bound - Dull/White streaks
Q
Comments (0)
Good morning, I have a problem with my resin bound driveway and patio whereby its showing different shades as its been laid. The main driveway has a ripple look to it although it is flat and the rear patio also has large patches of a lighter shade. Bit of background and more detail: It was laid in May this year in warm dry weather It looked perfect up until recently when the shaded patterns starting to emerge I checked out several other driveways the company had done which looked perfect. Also good feedback from the residents. The proper subbase of hardcore and tarmac was used as I watched gracefully from my office window The streaks in the driveway match exactly with how it was laid - 1 wheel barrow of mix per streak. The company who laid it came back two weeks ago to inspect. They agreed they could see the streaks but was the first time they encountered this problem. Their conclusion was that those faded strips had more fine stone that the other sections. So they propose brushing some more of this stone all over into the gaps and then laying a thin layer of clear resin over the top. This makes me nervous! From my inspection, it seems that the resin on the gravel where it is less vibrant is actually dull/cloudy whereas on the nice parts its clear and almost shiny like it should be. I have read that mixing the resin with the stone for different amounts of time or not mixing first to get rid of dust could cause this. But as the pattern repeats uniformly it is just confusing me. Any advice would be grateful. I was so nervous when it was being done, relieved when it looked great and now almost regretting not just going for reliable block paving! Some photos showing the streaks below.

Dear Sophiarock,

I imagine that the reason why you want to put tiles, should be related to the budget you want to invest.

But I have to tell you that the Polished Concrete finish is really unique and it will give your house an impressive transformation, maybe there is some material that looks like it, but if you are really in love with this finish the best thing you can do is ask for quotes and Visit Showrooms.

I recognize that Polished Concrete is expensive, even if it depends on the meters you have, it could be really good for you.

I encourage you to enter our website www.decoracement.com and fill out the form to get a free quotation, my name is Sandra N. (the sales assistant of Decora Cement)

And I can guarantee a 15% discount.

Looking forward to receiving news from you.
