Resin Bound is a mixture of naturally sourced, dried stones and a strong durable resin, with UV stable option. Once the dry stones and resin are mixed, the resulting compound is poured and hand trowelled onto the driveway to create an attractive, seamless, smooth finish.
Our naturally sourced stones are a mixture of aggregates including gravel, shingle, quartz and crushed granite. The stones can be angular or smooth and come in a variety of sizes, from 1 to 5mm pieces. They are also available in an array of colours. Choose from a single colour or a blend of complementary shades.
Although they sound very similar in name, there are some crucial differences.
With this technique the resin and aggregate are mixed prior to application. The mixture is laid evenly and dries to a very solid and highly uniform finish and texture. There is with the added advantage of the drive remaining completely permeable, making it safer and longer lasting.
With this approach resin is applied over the driveway, followed by aggregate pressed into the upper surface. This can often lead to loose chippings and an uneven finish. There is the further disadvantage that water will no longer permeate the drive, leading to pooling on the surface.
At Nationwide Paving And Building we offer all types of resin surfacing, although we consider the ‘Resin Bonded’ approach to be slightly inferior.
Although resin surfacing is offered by many companies, not all of them carry the right equipment to correctly mix and lay the compound.
In our experience, we have found a ‘forced action mixer’ is the only sufficient way to get the right mix of resin and aggregate. This type of mixer has additional paddles that are driven through the mixing pan to deliver a far superior finish.
A resin surface is ideal most commonly used for driveways, car parks, pathways, terraces, courtyards and swimming pool surrounds.
Stunning effects can be achieved because of the flexibility of this product and the endless possibilities allowed by the colour combinations. Our resin bound driveways are expertly designed, installed and finished by hand.
