Resin Bound Surfacing
What is Resin Bound surfacing?
Resin Bound Surfacing is a very strong and hard wearing fully permeable encapsulated natural aggregate surface that is finished by hand with a trowel to give it a great looking smooth finish. It comes in many different colours giving the customer a vast range of options and design capabilities. All our Resin Bound Surfaces fully meet the demands of sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and no planning permission is required when installing a surface of this type.
We recommend a complete full system for all resin driveways and patios but we are able to install a resin surface over an existing driveway if the drive is concrete or tarmac and in good condition, we would simply prepare, treat and clean the surface and hand trowel the resin and aggregate on top. We use UV stable resins to all of our surfaces ensuring the best quality finish and protecting the surface from sunlight damage. Non UV stable resins are available and we will only use these if a customer prefers but it will discolour the surface after a few months exposure to sunlight.

The process
- Full dig out and removal of the existing ground to a depth of approx. 250mm – 300mm.
- 180mm – 200mm layer of ‘Type 1 MOT’ is placed for the stability and drainage requirements.
- A sub-base binder layer of approximately 60mm – 70mm depth of open course Tarmac.
- Finally, 20mm of the chosen resin aggregate mix is installed and hand troweled to a smooth finish. We always use UV stable resin as standard on all our projects,
- Normally a block edge will be installed around the perimeter of the driveway to give a great looking finish and act as a boundary to Resin up to.
