Known as resin bound gravel – is a driveway surface made of aggregate stones and resin. It’s permeable and flexible, which makes it resistant to cracking. There are two types of resin that driveway installers tend to use: epoxy resin, and polyurethane resin.
The former isn’t actually that common anymore, because polyurethane offers much more stability and impact resistance for your existing driveway, our installers only use polyurethane resins (UV stable)
In addition, there are actually two different types of resin driveway – who knew?
Resin Bound Driveways
This resin bound surface includes solid chips coated in polyurethane resin. These chips can be aggregate, plastic, marble, or other different types of material. The mixture provides a smooth base and a permeable upper surface; which is especially important in the prevention of puddles.
Resin Bonded Driveways
This type of driveway involves just a thin layer of resin being laid over the top of existing hard surfaces, such as concrete and asphalt. The finished product is usually less permeable than its bound alternative, but it does still offer a high level of grip for vehicles.
