Resin Bound
Resin bound driveways, patios and paths are becoming increasingly popular due to their durability, low maintenance and aesthetic appeal. They are a great choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting and attractive driveway or patio that requires minimal upkeep. With a range of colours and finishes available, resin bound can be tailored to suit any style or taste.
We are approved installers with Resin Bonded Ltd. Established since 2003 Resin Bonded are one of the most trusted suppliers in the UK.
Preparation
Resin should be laid onto a structurally sound and secure base, typically of either open graded tarmac or concrete which has been laid to falls with appropriate drainage. To prevent possible cracking or sinking in the resin layer there should be no movement in the sub-base.
A solid edging detail must be in place for the resin to be laid up to. Typical edging details are Granite Setts or concrete edging stones. We can supply aluminium metal edging strips if required.
UV Stable
UV Stability is vital. In order to retain the colour of the chosen Resin Bound finish, the system has been formulated to ensure that it is fully UV Stable. Non or partial UV Stable alternatives will discolour within weeks of being installed, creating a yellowing and patchy effect where there are shaded areas.
Application
The resin and hardener are mixed together using drill and paddle mixer. This is then mixed with the chosen aggregate blend, including the necessary fines and sand, in a specialised large Forced Action Mixer.
The sand that is included in the mix increases the structural strength of the resin surface and also provides anti-slip properties. Where extra grip is required, a light layer of glass grit can be sprinkled on top of the surface before the resin has cured.
Low Maintenance
Resin Bound is extremely low maintenance. Rain water will keep it generally clean and a light pressure wash will remove any build up of algae or dirt contamination.
Resin Bound is a permeable, SuDS compliant system when laid over a permable substrate.
