6 Resin Patio Ideas & Design for Outdoor Project

Design flexibility is an exceptional feature that makes the use of resin highly preferred for the transformation of outdoor spaces. You can do so much with a resin patio. It offers a stylish and more aesthetic alternative to other conventional patio, block paving or decking styles.

You have total control over your installation and can incorporate designs, motifs, logos and various patterns into your resin patio.

Is Resin Great for Patios?

Resin bound patios are great for almost any type of outdoor project. They are also very durable and do not scuff, swell, sink or crack. They show great resistance to the growth of weeds, moss and algae. When installed using UV stable resin, they will maintain their colours without fading even on exposure to sunlight or harsh weather conditions.

Resin patio surfaces are also smooth, flexible and permeable allowing water to drain through after rainfall - thus a more eco-friendly option. Additionally, they are easy to maintain. Regular sweeping with a stiff brush and an occasional power wash is enough to keep your patio in top condition. Their surfaces despite being smooth are also anti-slip thanks to the addition of crushed glass during installation. The surface smoothness of a resin patio makes it easily accessible for persons with mobility issues who can drive their wheelchairs and mobility scooters on it without any issues.

Below are some resin patio design options which you may consider for your upcoming project.

1. Resin Patio To Replace An Old Worn Out Block Paving

You can use a resin patio to replace existing block paving. While block paving is beautiful when installed, over time, cracks begin to appear and they begin to swell or sink. Also, you may see weeds beginning to sprout up making the place untidy.

Here you have the option of doing a complete overhaul by replacing the entire brick work with a resin patio or replacing the tired block paving with a resin installation.

For a large patio space, you can create a stunning and elegant installation by blending the brick work with resin patio using the right colour aggregates. For instance, a red brick can be blended with pale cream stones and then complemented with a darker matte edging. One huge advantage of installing a resin patio is that it can be easily adapted to fit a variety of spaces and curved areas. They can also be used for creating pathways and steps leading up to your patio.

2. Smooth, Flat Resin Patios With Ease of Access

Resin patios can be used to create accessible paths for wheelchairs, bikes, buggies and scooters. This is one difficulty with other conventional patios and driveway types made with bricks, gravel and concrete.

In the installation of resin patios, an anti-slip agent is incorporated to prevent trips and falls while also remaining very smooth.

Additionally, the porous surface of the resin allows water to pass through preventing flash flooding, and water pools on the surface which can result in weakness of the patio and cracks over time.
