Resin surfacing is a type of paving that uses resins to bind decorative aggregates or gravel to a base layer, creating a durable and attractive surface. There are two main forms of resin surfacing: resin bound and resin bonded1.
- Resin bound surfacing is a smooth, permeable, and flexible paving system that mixes resin and aggregate together before applying it to the base layer. This allows water to drain through the surface, meeting the requirements of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)2. Resin bound surfacing is suitable for driveways, paths, patios, playgrounds, tree pits, and more. It offers a range of colours and finishes, and can be customized with patterns, logos, or borders3.
- Resin bonded surfacing is a textured, non-permeable, and rigid paving system that spreads resin over the base layer and then sprinkles aggregate on top. This creates the appearance of loose gravel, but with a strong bond that prevents movement or loss of aggregate. Resin bonded surfacing is ideal for heritage or conservation sites, as it can match the existing aesthetics and materials4. Resin bonded surfacing is also suitable for roads, car parks, ramps, bridges, and more. It provides a high level of skid resistance and durability.
Resin surfacing is a popular choice for paving projects because it offers many benefits, such as:
- High quality and low maintenance
- Eco-friendly and SUDS compliant
- Versatile and customizable
- Resistant to weeds, cracks, and fading
- Enhances the value and appearance of the property
