A resin bonded surface is created by applying a layer of resin to a prepared base and then scattering decorative aggregates onto the wet resin. Once cured, the loose stones are removed, leaving a durable, textured finish with the appearance of natural gravel.

Resin bonded surfacing involves applying resin to the surface and broadcasting aggregate onto it, creating a textured, non-permeable finish. Resin bound surfacing mixes the resin and aggregate together before application, resulting in a smoother, permeable surface. Resin bonded systems are often chosen where enhanced grip and a traditional gravel appearance are required.

Resin bonded surfacing is suitable for driveways, pathways, patios, courtyards, access roads, commercial premises, public spaces, and decorative landscaping projects. It can be applied to a range of existing solid surfaces, including concrete and asphalt.

Yes. Resin bonded surfacing is highly durable and can withstand regular vehicle traffic when installed onto a suitable base. Its textured finish also provides excellent slip resistance, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial driveways.

No. Unlike resin bound surfacing, resin bonded systems are generally non-permeable because the resin creates a sealed layer beneath the aggregate. Appropriate drainage should therefore be considered during the design and installation process.

When installed correctly and maintained properly, a resin bonded surface can last for many years. The lifespan will depend on factors such as traffic levels, weather exposure, installation quality, and ongoing maintenance.

No. Resin bonded surfacing is known for its textured finish, which provides excellent grip and slip resistance in both wet and dry conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for pathways, slopes, and areas with high pedestrian traffic

Maintenance is straightforward and typically involves regular sweeping and occasional washing to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. Prompt removal of weeds, moss, and oil stains will help keep the surface looking its best.

In many cases, yes. Resin bonded systems can often be applied over existing concrete or asphalt surfaces, provided they are structurally sound, clean, dry, and properly prepared before installation.

Resin bonded surfacing is available in a wide range of natural and decorative aggregates, including golden gravels, quartz, granite, and other coloured stone blends. This allows homeowners, businesses, and landscape designers to achieve a finish that complements the surrounding environment.

Curing times vary depending on the resin type and weather conditions, but most resin bonded surfaces can typically be walked on within a few hours and may be suitable for vehicle use within 24 hours. Always follow the installation guidelines for the specific resin system being used.
