1. Introduction
Welcome to the world of resin-bound surfaces, where quality and precision play a crucial role in the success of each project. The material you choose for your project, particularly resin, can mean the difference between a beautifully finished, durable surface and a disappointing outcome. This blog post delves into the importance of choosing high-quality resin for your projects, saving you from unexpected pitfalls and extra costs down the line.
2. Understanding the Scope of the Problem
Resin-bound surfaces, when done correctly, provide a smooth, durable, and visually appealing finish. However, when issues arise, they can manifest in the form of cracks, cloudiness, and discolouration - all signs of a resin project gone wrong. These problems often stem from one root cause: poor-quality resin.
Subpar resin may not provide the durability and consistency you need, leading to an uneven finish and a less resilient surface. In other words, choosing inferior resin can create more problems than it solves, risking the overall success of your project.
3. The True Cost of a Failed Resin Project
To fully grasp the implications of a failed resin project, let's break down the costs using Exo Supplies' data. The average driveway spans about 65m2. For such a project, you'd spend approximately £1800 on resin-bound materials.
Now, let's consider a scenario where the resin fails. Not only would you need to replace the materials, costing another £1800, but you would also need to factor in the cost of labour to remove the failed resin and reinstall it. This could easily add another £700 to your bill, totalling an estimated £2500 as a conservative figure for the direct costs.
But the costs don't stop at financial implications. You'd also face indirect costs such as time lost on removing and reinstalling the resin. This delay could have a domino effect, impacting your other scheduled projects and ultimately your bottom line.
Lastly, let's not forget the potential harm to your reputation. In the contracting business, your reputation is paramount. Delivering a failed project could lead to unhappy clients, negative reviews, and a decline in future business prospects. Therefore, the real cost of a failed resin project is not just monetary but also includes the potential long-term impacts on your business.
4. The Value of BBA-Approved Resin
Now that we've seen the potentially disastrous consequences of using poor-quality resin, let's look at a solution that can help you avoid these pitfalls: BBA Approved Resin.
The British Board of Agrément (BBA) is the UK's leading authority on the certification of construction products. When a product is BBA Approved, it has undergone rigorous testing and inspection to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
By choosing BBA Approved resin, you're equipping your project with a product that has proven its worth.
