Choosing the perfect resin bound colour for your driveway, patio or path

Your home is probably your most valuable asset and every decision you make to improve it is important - after all, your choices can shape your property’s appearance and value for years to come. 

We understand the process isn’t always easy. That’s why, every year, we take such pleasure in the sheer delight of thousands of homeowners who witness the stunning difference a resin bound driveway, patio, or path makes to their home.

And once you have made the decision to have resin bound, the biggest decision remains…which colour is right for you?

If you're unsure, here are some helpful tips to guide you…

Colour selection

The good news is that there are over 60 different colour blends to choose from. The DALTEX Bespoke range and the DALTEX Marble Signature range have colour blends which span the spectrum from stylish silvers and greys through to chestnuts and reds to golds and warm yellows.

Design flexibility

When it comes to designing your Resin Bound driveway, the choices are limitless. Whether you want to add a personal touch with a logo, or stamp your individuality with an interesting shape or number, you can truly make the project your own with DALTEX. 

Colours can be used singly or in combination to create unique designs and borders. The flexibility of choosing resin bound means that you can create a personalised solution reflecting your taste and one that complements the age of your property, the external brickwork and  the design style you want to achieve.

How to choose your perfect resin bound colour

Consider your home’s exterior

When choosing your resin bound colour, the first thing you’ll need to consider is your home’s exterior. What colour is the brickwork? What about the garage door, the windows  and the front door? You may also have planting or edging to the front - what colours work best alongside it as a complement or contrast to the planting scheme?

You should also consider the age and style of the property and what finish you want to achieve - some blends complement a soft, traditional feel whilst others pair beautifully to create a sharp, contemporary design.

Standing out vs. cohesion

The next thing you’ll need to consider is the rest of your street. Are you looking for a bold statement that stands out from the neighbours, or something that works cohesively with the houses alongside yours?

Get a closer look

If you need more help choosing between blend colours, then help is at hand. Firstly, samples are available. Your DALTEX Installer may have a presentation case which features the entire range but you can also order any samples directly. The samples have been designed to be large (12cm x 12cm) and square-shaped so that you  can place them outside directly against the external brickwork or fascia to see the effect immediately.

Another valuable way of visualising how colours may look in your home is the DALTEX visualiser tool. Simply upload a photo of your driveway or garden and you can choose from the entire range to see how the property may look at the click of a button! Plus, you can download, share and email the photo to get opinions from friends and family if you need further advice.
