CONSUMER RESIN - RESIN BOUND FAQS
Resin Bound Driveway, Paths and Patios Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What exactly is a resin bound drive?
A. Resin-bound driveways are made up of gravel and stone aggregates, which are then bound together using resin. The resin is clear, holding the aggregates firmly in place to give the appearance of a gravel driveway, without the inconvenience and mess of loose stones.
Q. What is the difference between Resin Bound and Resin Bonded?
A. You can tell the difference between Resin Bound and Resin Bonded on sight. The way they are installed and perform is very different. Resin Bound has a smooth, uniform finish – but Resin Bonded has a textured finish and gives the appearance of loose gravel. Unlike Resin Bound, Resin Bonded is non-porous and is not SUDS compliant.
Q. Why choose a resin bound driveway?
A. Resin-bound driveways will last for years without any kind of deterioration. Here’s what you need to know:
- The finish is stunning – Choose from a range of premium resin blends to modernise your property.
- Resin is strong and durable – It is installed on tarmac, which isn’t going to crack, bend or dip.
- Resin doesn’t warp or change shape – It isn’t affected by water, the sun, frost, or other UK weather.

Q. How do you install a resin driveway?
A. Preparation: Our team begins by assessing your existing driveway. Depending on its condition, excavation may be necessary. We then prepare the ground by creating a stable and porous sub-base, which serves as the foundation of your resin driveway.
Infilling with Gravel: Next, we infill the grid with gravel, a crucial step in creating a porous surface that allows rainwater to drain through. This layer prevents puddles and promotes sustainable drainage.
The Resin: Our skilled professionals then hand-trowel the resin bound mixture on top of the gravel layer, ensuring a smooth and even finish. This process is carried out with precision and expertise to achieve perfect results.
