Resin Bound Surfaces

Resin Bound Aggregate creates a stunning patina, which with clever design can transform every element of space into an imaginative, functional, interesting, hardwearing and SUDS compliant surface.

By listening to and understanding a client’s needs, ideas can be translated into unique custom made designs.

Anthony is very enthused by this relatively new product available now to southern England properties, as hitherto it has been predominantly featured in the North where the aggregates are mined. To discover more about this exciting product, read on.

What is Resin Bound Aggregate? Aggregates are natural stone, ECO friendly and available in a myriad of colours, which are then carefully mixed with Aliphatic UV Resin, and floated onto a suitably prepared surface in one homogenous porous layer.

Why should we need a porous SUDS surface? ‘Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems’ (SUDS), is a government directive dictating that surface water on new or refurbished driveways cannot run off into the main highway and must drain within the curtilage of the property. Driveways constructed with Resin Bound Aggregate do not need planning permission. The porosity is such that even excessively heavy rainfall soaks through, so no puddling or surface water.

What are the benefits of a Resin Bound Aggregate surface? Resin Bound Aggregate is resistant to weed growth and oil spillage; hard wearing; flexible; withstands regular vehicle access; totally porous; easily cleaned and maintained; slip resistant; good to walk on; and, wheelchair friendly.

How much does it cost? Resin Bound Aggregate is initially more expensive than Block or Sandstone Paving, however the long-term benefit is more economical.

How long does it take to install? Usually groundworks take from two to five days; plus, installation of the Resin Bound Aggregate takes one day. Disruption to the property is normally less than for the laying of more traditional surfaces.

Can Resin Bound Aggregate be laid on any surface? In some cases yes, but there will always be some preparation of the existing base to ensure it is porous, stable, level and evenly weight bearing.

Is it Guaranteed? Normally a 10 year guarantee on workmanship and materials, excluding normal wear and tear, wilful or accidental damage or other issues defined as Act of God. You should expect approximately 20-25 trouble free years.

What is your procedure? We offer a free non obligatory survey of the site, with Client meetings to discuss the project, options and guidance so as to provide the best possible solution. We provide a full specification of works and breakdown of costs. On instruction we execute all works and manage the entire project in-house to completion.
