What Colour Resin Driveway Should I Choose?

A resin driveway instantly adds kerb appeal to any home, with its beautiful, rich finish which delivers a real wow factor.

Resin-bound driveways are incredibly versatile and can be designed to suit any style of property, from the very modern through to the more traditional and period styles. The choice of colours is a key factor in the success of your resin driveway and there are many different options available which can be mixed and matched to create bespoke designs to enhance your home’s aesthetic.

As well as the overall colour, it is important to consider practical aspects of a resin drive. Lighter colours such as beige and white show dirt and stains more easily, whilst darker colours can retain heat more easily and may become slippery when wet. For these reasons, it is recommended to choose a resin with an aggregate blend that is designed to hide dirt and stains and offer a more natural appearance.

One of the most popular choices is a grey colour blend - this has been one of the key trends in recent years and it’s easy to see why – there are a wide variety of grey blends on the market, from silver and platinum through to darker shades. The neutral, unbiased tone of grey works extremely well with most property styles and allows for the addition of any contrasting aggregate colours to create a truly bespoke finish.

Red is also a popular option

It’s an eye-catching, powerful choice which really makes a statement and can be used in both contemporary and traditional styles. Deep, rich red used as a single colour (such as the DALTEX Bespoke Merlot) is ideal for creating clean, classic lines with real impact but blends which feature contrasting specks of silver, black or green are also available and produce stunning effects.

When choosing a colour it’s always worth taking a sample of the resin bound material and holding it up to your existing brickwork, exterior windows and doors to ensure you get an accurate representation of how it will look in various lighting conditions. We also recommend that you visit a local supplier and view the samples in situ so you can experience how they will look and feel underfoot.

The colour of a resin driveway can be changed quite quickly and simply, but it’s essential to choose the correct materials and have the work carried out by a professional installer who has experience with this type of installation. Using inferior materials will cause the surface to degrade much quicker and it could even need to be replaced altogether.

A reputable, established The Driveway Company will carry out the work to the highest standard and ensure that the finish is seamless, durable and provides the perfect compliment to your home’s architectural style. You can avoid rogue companies by requesting a list of past clients and asking for references from previous jobs. This will give you peace of mind that you’re dealing with a reputable and experienced company who can provide outstanding results at a fair price.
