Resin-Bound Surfacing For Housing Developments
Resin-bound surfaces have become increasingly popular as a durable and visually appealing option for driveways and pathways in housing developments. SureSet resin-bound surfaces combine natural aggregates with a high-quality UV resin binder, offering a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for residential pathways, paths and patios.
Why Choose Resin-Bound Surfacing?
Aesthetically Pleasing: Resin-bound surfaces provide an attractive and seamless finish that can significantly enhance the overall appearance of a housing development. A wide range of aggregate colours and sizes (3mm, 6mm and 10mm) allows for design flexibility, enabling developers to create visually appealing driveways that complement the surrounding environment and architecture.
Durability and longevity: Resin-bound surfaces are highly durable and can withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic, making them ideal for driveways and pathways in housing developments. The resin forms a strong bond with the aggregates, creating a surface that is resistant to cracking, potholes, and UV degradation. This durability ensures that the pathways maintain their integrity and aesthetics for an extended period, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Permeability: One of the significant advantages of resin-bound surfaces is their permeability. The porous nature of the system allows rainwater to drain through the surface, preventing the formation of puddles and reducing the risk of flooding. This feature is particularly beneficial in housing developments where costly sustainable drainage solutions are encouraged to manage surface water runoff effectively.
Low maintenance: Resin-bound surfaces require minimal maintenance compared to other paving options. They are resistant to weed growth and are easy to clean. Regular sweeping or pressure washing is usually sufficient to keep the pathways in excellent condition, saving both time and money on maintenance expenses.
Safety: Resin-bound surfaces offer excellent slip resistance, which is crucial for pathways in housing developments, where pedestrian safety is a priority. The textured finish of the aggregates provides anti-slip properties combined with the UV-stable resin binder, making a secure and stable surface and reducing the risk of accidents, especially during wet or icy conditions.
Eco-friendly: Resin-bound surfaces align with sustainable practices, allowing rainwater to permeate through the surface, replenishing the groundwater and reducing the strain on drainage systems. Additionally, using natural aggregates and solvent-free resins minimises environmental impact, making resin-bound driveways a greener choice compared to most paving materials.
Resin-Bound Surfacing For Schools, Parks and Public Play Areas
Resin-bound paving is an ideal choice for public play areas, schools and parks due to its many benefits.
Safety: Resin-bound paving is slip-resistant, making it a safe option for play areas and parks. It also provides a smooth and level surface, reducing the risk of tripping or falling.
Durability: Resin-bound paving is extremely durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, bikes, scooters, and pushchairs. This makes it an ideal choice for play areas and parks where children constantly run and play.
Low maintenance: Resin-bound paving requires very little maintenance. It is resistant to weeds and algae growth and can be easily cleaned with a pressure washer or a simple broom and hose. This makes it a cost-effective option for local councils and easy for maintenance workers to keep clean.
Logos & Designs
Resin-bound paving is an excellent choice for creating logos and patterns due to its versatility and durability.
Versatility: SureSet Resin bound paving offers various colours and aggregate options, allowing creative freedom in designing logos and patterns. Different coloured aggregates can be combined to create intricate designs or replicate specific logos accurately. Logos can be exactly matched to any colour on the Pantone colour chart.
Customisation: The ability to recreate your blend, as well as using our extensive range of recycled glass colours, allows for the creation of bespoke designs, making it possible to incorporate intricate patterns, shapes, or even company logos directly into the pavement. This can be particularly useful for commercial spaces or branding purposes.
Durability: Resin-bound paving is highly durable and resistant to cracking, fading, and general wear and tear. This ensures that the logo or pattern created will maintain its quality and appearance over an extended period, even with regular use.
Low Maintenance: Once installed, resin-bound paving requires minimal maintenance. Unlike other pavements, it is relatively easy to clean and does not require sealing. This makes it a convenient choice for long-lasting logo or pattern designs.
Smooth Surface: Resin-bound paving creates a smooth, level surface, which benefits aesthetics and functionality. The absence of loose stones or uneven surfaces ensures that the logo or pattern remains clear and visible.
Showrooms and Business Entrances
Resin-bound paving is an excellent choice for business entrances and showrooms due to its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal.
Visual Appeal: Resin-bound paving offers a sleek and modern look that can enhance the overall appearance of your showroom. It is available in a wide range of colours and finishes, allowing you to create a customised and attractive flooring option that complements your style and branding.
Slip Resistance: Resin-bound paving provides a slip-resistant surface, minimising the risk of accidents or injuries. The aggregate used in resin-bound paving creates a textured finish that offers good traction even when the surface is wet.
Low Maintenance: It is a low-maintenance option, as it doesn’t require regular sealing, repainting, or extensive cleaning.
Bespoke Design: Resin bound paving allows for various design possibilities. You can incorporate different colours and patterns or even create unique logos or motifs using contrasting aggregates. This flexibility enables you to create a flooring design that reflects your brand identity and adds a distinct visual appeal to your showroom.
Hotels, Churches and Retirement Homes
Resin-bound paving is an excellent choice for hotel grounds, churches and retirement homes as it offers a range of benefits, including safety, durability, aesthetics, and low maintenance.
Car Park Surfacing
With Council budgets under pressure, car park surfaces are no longer required just to be functional and practical. There is an increasing demand to create car parks that are cost-effective, attractive and safe for the environment. The long-term appearance of highly trafficked areas can be improved by providing a UV-stable, durable, and permeable resin-bound car park surface.
Resin-bound driveway and car park surfacing allow you to reduce ongoing maintenance costs with our low-maintenance car parks that come with a guarantee for 21 years against loose stone, cracking, oil damage, UV degradation, colour change, frost damage and workmanship.
Some perks of a resin-bound car park are that it allows you to incorporate other external works and landscape designs, such as tree pits and maintenance holes and drain covers, into the car park paving design. The versatility of SureSet makes it ideal for incorporating into hard landscape designs, for easy distinction of parking bays (including parent and child and accessible spaces) and for defining pedestrian and driving areas. The smooth, accessible finish of SureSet is ideal for ramps providing increased accessibility for pushchairs and wheelchair users. You reflect neighbouring buildings and surroundings with an extensive range of colours and textures, allowing you to complement or contrast adjoining structures, surfaces and environments.
