WHAT IS RESIN?
Resin Bound Stone, is a surfacing solution that is made from mixing UV-Stable resin and dried aggregates together in a forced action mixer. This creates a Resin Bound gravel mix that is hand trowelled onto a permeable sub-base to provide a permeable, smooth, seamless finish that looks stunning on patios and driveways. Once laid, Resin Bound stone comes with practically minimal maintenance.

Benefits of Resin Bound Stone
The beauty and huge attraction to this surface is the vast choice of coloured aggregates available and the ability to create your own bespoke blend to suit your surrounding environment. Once laid on a new, permeable base this system is very hard wearing and completely SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage system) compliant as it allows any amount of surface water to naturally drain through the system into the sub-base below. This one factor has made Resin Bound Stone a very popular choice for engineers and surveyors when designing new, environmentally friendly properties.
Resin Bound Stone is an affordable option to paving as the process of installing is much quicker, so labour costs are reduced significantly also meaning that there is minimal disruption to the homeowner or business. C W Stanley choose to only use the best quality aggregate and U.V resistant Polyurethane resin binder. Our surfaces will not fade under direct U.V exposure.
Our Process
Here at CW Stanley Surfacing Company, ours is an efficient installation service. We first carry out a site survey to assess the area we will be working with and gain accurate measurements. Our team will discuss the resin options with you, along with your requirements.
Once we have had an invitation to quote and visit your property or business an agreed time and day will be arranged by our friendly, family run office. This will then be clarified via an email. During the survey we will listen to you carefully to include all of your requirements. We will then advise on what base preparation is needed and discuss options for edge retention and all other finer details.
A lot of company’s may suggest laying Resin Bound Stone on a variety of existing surfaces but we will only lay our system on a correctly formed permeable base layer to ensure the longevity, strength and function of your new Resin Bound Stone surface.

FAQ's
What is resin bound stone?
Resin bound stone is a premium surfacing system created by mixing natural aggregates with a high quality, UV resistant resin binder before being laid onto a prepared BASE. This results in a smooth, attractive and highly durable surface suitable for driveways, patios, pathways and commercial areas.
What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?
Resin bound surfacing involves mixing the stone and resin together before laying, creating a smooth and permeable finish. Resin bonded surfacing involves scattering aggregate onto a resin coated surface, resulting in a rougher texture that is not permeable.
Is it permeable
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of resin bound stone is its permeability. Water can drain naturally through the surface, helping to reduce puddles and standing water.
Is it slippery?
No. Resin bound stone surfaces provide excellent grip and can include anti slip properties, making them suitable for driveways, pathways and any other areas that include pedestrian traffic.
Is it high maintenance?
No. Resin bound stone is very low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional washing are usually all that is needed to keep the surface from looking its best. Although professional advice should be sought before using a power washer. Using excessive pressure or holding the lance too close to the surface can damage the resin or dislodge the aggregate. We are always happy to offer advice on the safest way to clean to help you protect your investment and keep your resin bound stone area looking like new.
Can it be laid over my existing surface?
In some cases, resin bound stone can be laid over an existing surface, if it is structurally sound. We will assess the existing surface on our site survey and advise.
