Resinbound

Resinbound refers to a type of permeable paving system. It involves mixing aggregate, such as gravel or stone chippings, with a clear, durable resin. This mixture is then troweled onto a prepared base, typically asphalt or concrete, creating a smooth, solid surface. The key characteristic of resinbound surfacing is its permeability, allowing water to drain through the surface and into the ground below. This helps to reduce surface water runoff and can be beneficial for drainage management.

The aggregate is available in a wide range of colors and sizes, allowing for a variety of aesthetic finishes. This makes resinbound a popular choice for driveways, patios, pathways, and garden landscaping projects where both durability and visual appeal are important. The resin used is typically a UV-stable polyurethane or epoxy, chosen for its strength and resistance to weathering. Installation requires a well-prepared sub-base to ensure the longevity and performance of the resinbound layer. The curing time for resinbound surfaces can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Once cured, the surface is hard-wearing and requires minimal maintenance, often just occasional sweeping or washing.
