Overview

Resin bound surfacing is applied in a smooth, even surface.

Preparation

It may be applied to most surfaces, without the need for digging up the existing driveway.  However, we need to prepare all existing surfaces before we apply the resin bound mixture. Any holes, cracks etc. will be filled in and the area cleaned and ready.

What is resin bound surfacing?

This type of material is made from a mixture of shingle, quartz or crushed granite. The elements are pushed through a mix process to ensure that each grain is coated with a clear UV stable polymer resin.

  It is then trowel applied to the area to ensure it is a smooth and even surface.

Colours

The aggregate is available in a variety of colours.

The materials for the edges of the resin driveway, path or patio etc. can also be finished off in a variety of materials with a choice of colours. 

Water Penetrable

Resin bound surfaces allow water to drain through, acting as a sieve and allowing the water to flow naturally into the water table.

Where it can be applied

Resin bound surfacing is a popular product for driveways, paths, patios, pedestrianised areas and car parks.

Resin Bond is a rougher surface than resin bound.

Resin bond can be used on most surfaces without the need to dig the driveway up.  Having said that, it does depend on the surface itself and the condition it is in.  Some preparation will be required whether or not the surface is suitable for the application of the resin bond. Any holes or cracks can be filled in, to ensure the surface is suitable.  An initial assessment will be made and always discussed with the customer.

Once the area to be re-surfaced is completed the resin in applied to the surface.  Aggregate is laid and this adheres to the resin surface.  Any loose aggregate is brushed away to complete the finished bond surface.
