What Is a Resin Bound Driveway?
A resin bound driveway is made by mixing natural aggregate with a clear resin, which is then trowelled to a smooth, even finish. The result is a hard-wearing, permeable surface that lets water drain through naturally rather than pooling on top.
Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded — What’s the Difference?
These two terms are often mixed up, so it’s worth being clear:
Resin Bound
Resin bound surfacing mixes the aggregate and resin together before laying, giving a smooth, walkable finish.
Resin Bonded
Resin bonded work involves spreading loose aggregate over a layer of resin, giving a more textured, gravel-like look. We’re happy to talk through which is the better fit for your driveway.
Colours & Aggregate Options
Resin bound surfacing is available in a range of natural aggregate colours, so you can choose a finish that suits your property, from warm, sandy tones to darker, more contemporary shades.
Why Choose Resin Bound
As well as looking smart, a resin bound driveway is slip-resistant, weed-resistant, and permeable — which can help with surface water drainage. It can also be laid over many existing sound surfaces, including old tarmac, which can make it a practical way to refresh a tired driveway.
