Frequently Asked Questions
Is Resin Bound Paving Suitable for Vehicles?
Yes, resin-bound permeable paving can be designed to withstand vehicular traffic, including heavy vehicles such as buses.
Is the Resin Toxic?
No, once installed, resin-bound paving is completely safe and non-toxic. The resin blend even includes natural plant extracts.
What Makes It Permeable?
Resin-bound paving is permeable due to the combination of fine aggregates (typically 1–3mm and 3–6mm) mixed with high-performance UV-stable resin. The aggregates are cleaned and dried before mixing, and once cured, water can pass through the voids in the bonded stone without affecting its strength.
What Depth Is It Normally Laid?
The required depth depends on the application and aggregate size:
- Vehicle use: Typically 15–20mm on an asphalt or concrete base.
- Pedestrian areas: Usually 9–12mm.
Can I Install a Resin Driveway Myself?
DIY installation is possible for small areas using resin driveway kits. However, for areas larger than 25m² or if you are unfamiliar with the process, hiring a professional installer is recommended to ensure a smooth, high-quality finish.
How Long Will It Last?
Resin-bound surfaces are highly durable, with a lifespan of over 25 years when installed and maintained correctly.
How Long Does It Take to Cure?
Resin-bound paving typically cures within 24 hours. It can be walked on after 4–6 hours and driven on by light vehicles after 12–16 hours. In colder weather, curing times may be longer.
How Do I Keep It Clean?
Resin-bound paving requires minimal maintenance. To keep it looking its best, use a pressure washer or a stiff broom with mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.
Can I Use My Own Aggregate?
Yes, but the aggregate must be screened, cleaned, and dried to meet specific quality standards. If you wish to use your own, ensure it meets these criteria for the best results.
What’s the Difference Between Resin Bound and Resin Bonded Surfacing?
Resin Bound Surfacing
- Creates a smooth, water-permeable surface when laid on an open-grade binder asphalt.
- Ideal for driveways, pathways, and areas prone to standing water.
- SuDS-compliant (Sustainable Drainage Systems) and wheelchair-friendly, with no loose stones.
Resin Bonded Surfacing
- A non-permeable option laid on a solid base such as fine wearing course asphalt or concrete.
- Has a rough texture, making it more prone to loose stones over time.
- Requires additional drainage systems like soakaways or ACO drains to prevent water run-off.
What Is Resin Bound Surfacing?
Resin-bound (or “trowelled”) surfacing is made by mixing natural aggregates—such as shingle, quartzite, or crushed granite—with a clear UV-stable polyurethane resin. The mixture is then poured and hand-trowelled to create a smooth, seamless surface with no loose stones.
Common Depths for Resin Bound Surfaces:
- 15mm: Pool surrounds, footpaths, terraces.
- 18mm: Driveways, car parks.
Key Features of Resin Bound Surfacing:
✔ Permeable, smooth surface.
✔ SuDS-compliant.
✔ Ideal for areas requiring drainage solutions.
What Is Resin Bonded Surfacing?
Resin-bonded (or “scattercoat”) surfacing involves applying resin to a base and then scattering loose aggregate on top. This method creates a rough texture and is often used for cost-effective refurbishments or quick updates. However, it is less durable than resin-bound surfacing and can become harder to clean as aggregate particles may loosen over time.
Common Depth for Resin Bonded Surfacing:
- Around 3mm, depending on aggregate size (typically 1–3mm).
Key Features of Resin Bonded Surfacing:
✘ Non-permeable, rough surface.
✘ Not SuDS-compliant.
✘ Less durable, with a higher chance of loose stones over time.
