Which resin bound surface is right for you?

There are two main methods of application for resin bounded aggregate finishes. These are Resin Bound and Resin Bonded finishes.

Resin Bonded Aggregates

This application refers to process of scattering loose dried aggregates onto a coating of resin after the resin has been applied to the surface. It is often referred to as a scattercoat, broadcast or coating system. This method involves applying the resin over a suitable base, and then ‘scattering’ the chosen gravel or aggregate over the tacky resin before it sets hard. The systems can use pre-coated aggregates, while others rely on applying a resin over the scattered stone to seal it.

Resin Bound Aggregates

Often referred to as hand trowelled this system sees the aggregate blended within the resin prior to application and is trowelled to a smooth level finish.

This method relies on the aggregate and the resin being combined in a mixer, and then spread over the prepared base with floats, screeding bars and hand trowels. This type of application ensures an adequate thickness is applied to the entire area.

The above systems ensure that the resin sets relatively quickly. This means that the resin and aggregate need to be applied correctly with smoothing out and levelling carried out prior to the resin setting and becoming too hard to move.

The great thing about these products is that it is permeable so doesn’t hold water, weed free and low maintenance.

Below are a couple of images showing what a driveway in Gloucestershire looked like before the Resin Bound installation and the beautiful finished driveway completed. As you can imagine the owners were delighted with the finished product. Neighbours have even commented on how great it looks.
