Thorset™ Resin Bound Surfacing
Thorset™ resin bound surfacing gives you a smooth, seamless finish and a variety of functional advantages for driveways, pathways, patios, and more. It can be installed on any base surface and gives a hard-wearing, low-maintenance finish.
What is Resin Bound Surfacing?
Resin bound surfacing is a mixture of UV-stable resin and kiln-dried aggregates. The mixture is poured onto a prepared base and trowelled to a flat surface. Unlike loose gravel, resin bound gravel stays in place, giving you a more stable, attractive, and slip-resistant surface.
Unlike resin bonded surfacing, resin bound surfacing combines resin and aggregate thoroughly before application, resulting in a smooth, seamless, and permeable finish.
Why Choose Resin Bound Gravel Over Conventional Options?
Resin Bound Gravel is SUDS-compliant. Therefore, water can drain through the finished surface. Additionally, the mixture of resin and aggregates results in a durable surface that resists cracking and remains attractive for years.
How to Create a Resin Bound Layer
- Utilise a forced-action mixer to combine the UV-stable pre mixed resin and pre-mixed aggregates.
- Once mixed, spread the resin bound material evenly across the area. Curing times are critical.
- Use a resin bound calculator to work out how many kits of materials you’ll need for the task.
Advantages of Resin Bound Driveways and Patios
