Resin bound surfacing is a popular modern paving solution known for its smooth finish, durability, and permeability. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

What it is:

• It's a mixture of resin and aggregates (like gravel) that's troweled onto a base, creating a seamless surface.
• It's different from resin bonded surfacing, where aggregate is scattered over a resin layer. Resin bound is a mixed product.

Key Benefits:

• Permeability:
  • When installed on a suitable permeable sub-base, it allows water to drain through, reducing puddles and runoff.
  • This aligns with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) requirements.
• Durability:
  • It creates a strong and long-lasting surface.
  • It is resistant to wear and tear.
• Aesthetics:
  • It offers a wide range of aggregate colors and sizes, allowing for customized designs.
  • It provides a smooth, attractive finish.
• Low Maintenance:
  • It's relatively easy to clean and requires minimal upkeep.
  • It is also weed resistant.
• Slip Resistance:
  • When installed correctly, it provides a good level of slip resistance.

Common Applications:

• Driveways
• Pathways
• Patios
• Car parks
• And other hard landscaping areas

How Resin Surfacing Fits In:

• Aesthetics:
  • Resin bound offers a wider range of customizable looks than tarmac or standard concrete.
  • It also can give an appearence similar to loose gravel, but with out the problems loose gravel has.
• Permeability:
  • Resin bound (with the correct base) offers a significant advantage in water drainage compared to traditional non-permeable surfaces.
• Durability:
  • Resin surfaces, when installed correctly, offer good durability, but may vary depending on the quality of materials and installation.
• Maintenance:
  • Resin surfaces are generally low-maintenance, similar to tarmac, but often require less long term maintenace.
• Cost:
  • Resin bound surfacing is often a higher initial cost than tarmac, and sometimes concrete. It can be comparable to block paving costs.

In summary:

• Resin bond surfacing provides a decorative layer that is bonded onto a surface, where as resin bound is a mix that is layed as one solid surface.
• Resin bound surfacing is a modern alternative with unique benefits, particularly in terms of aesthetics and permeability.
