Resin drives have a whole host of great qualities. Not only do they look great but they’re durable and damage-resistant. They are also very easy to clean and maintain. However, you may be wondering “Do resin drives fade?” This is a concern that many people have when considering investing in a resin driveway. Read on to find out the answer to this common question.  Will my resin driveway fade over time? One of the biggest reasons to choose a resin drive is that it’s unlikely to fade or discolour over time. Whilst some resin driveways will fade due to the effects of the sun, most are UV stable. This means they’ll retain their original colour for many years to come. If you don’t use a UV stable resin, the surface may turn a deep yellow or brown colour. Patches could also appear if items like plant pots are left out and in shaded areas. This can seriously impact the appearance of your driveway. A resin driveway could also fade if it has been installed to a poor standard by a contractor. They might have tried to cut costs by mixing the resin and aggregates in incorrect amounts or didn’t seal the surfacing sufficiently during the construction stage. Both of these things can cause a resin driveway to fade. Read on to find out more.
