Resin bound surfacing is a type of surfacing method commonly used for driveways, pathways, patios, and other outdoor areas. It combines clear resin with aggregates (like stones, gravel, and sometimes recycled materials) to create a smooth, durable, and attractive surface.

In terms of how its made, you combine high-quality, clear resin with aggregates. This mixture is evenly applied over a solid base like concrete or asphalt, ensuring each stone is coated for a consistent finish. Aesthetically appealing, it offers a range of colours and textures, resulting in a smooth, visually pleasing surface suitable for various architectural styles. This type of surfacing is not only durable, able to withstand weather and vehicular traffic, but also low maintenance, requiring just basic cleaning to maintain its appearance.

Resin bonded surfacing is a method of creating a textured, decorative surface typically used for outdoor areas like driveways, walkways, and patios. It differs from resin bound surfacing in both appearance and construction method.In terms of how it’s made, resin is applied to an existing base like concrete or tarmac, followed by scattering dry aggregate on top, resulting in a textured, gritty finish with partially exposed stones. This application process is relatively quick and straightforward, as the aggregate is simply broadcast over the resin layer and excess stones brushed off after setting, leading to a faster installation compared to resin bound surfacing. In terms of durability, resin bonded surfaces are robust and suitable for both pedestrian and vehicular use, but they might require more maintenance and have a shorter lifespan as the aggregate can loosen over time.
