How we install resin-bound driveways
A SureSet resin-bound driveway should only be installed by professional contractors with resin-bound paving experience.
The process involves preparing the driveway base, applying a multi-part resin binder, and mixing it with aggregates. It requires skill and expertise to ensure a proper and long-lasting installation.
To ensure a successful installation, choosing the right base for your specific project.

Concrete Base
- Concrete bases are popular for SureSet installations due to their durability and stability.
- Suitable Applications: Driveways, patios, walkways, and commercial areas..
- Advantages: Provides excellent load-bearing capacity, long-lasting, minimal maintenance required, and a smooth, even surface.
- Considerations: Properly cured and prepared concrete is essential for a successful installation, any expansion joints will need to be reflected into the SureSet resin-bound surface, we have excellent colour matching options.
Asphalt Base
- Asphalt/Tarmac (Bitumen) Bases are another solid option, often chosen for their flexibility and ease of installation. Tarmac bases are composed of a mixture of crushed stone and bitumen binder, providing good load-bearing capacity.
- Suitable Applications: Driveways, access roads, pathways, and car parks.
- Advantages: Asphalt is Flexible, which lessens the chance of cracking in some cases, quick installation, and a smooth surface. Tarmac is cost-effective, reasonably durable, and can be a suitable option for residential projects.
- Considerations: Ensure either base is in good condition and free from cracks or major defects.
Permeable Base (SuDS Compliant) Surecell Grid Structure
- Permeable bases are designed to allow water to drain through, making them an environmentally friendly choice that complies with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) regulations.
- Suitable Applications: Residential and commercial areas where water runoff management is crucial.
- Advantages: Reduces the risk of flooding and water runoff, is environmentally friendly, and can help meet regulatory requirements.
- Considerations: Proper design and installation are essential to ensure effective drainage.
Crushed Stone (compacted)
- In some cases, a compacted crushed stone base may be suitable, especially for decorative or low-traffic areas.
- Suitable Applications: Gardens, pathways, tee surrounds, or decorative areas.
- Advantages: Cost-effective, allows for creativity in design, and easy to install.
- Considerations: Not suitable for high-traffic areas or areas with heavy loads.
