Are you looking to have a new surface installed and you’re searching for a surfacing material that is slightly different to the standard options? If so, you could definitely benefit from the resin surfacing we have available here at CW Stanley Surfacing & Landscape Co. We are trained to install resin on a variety of surfaces, from paving to driveways, and more.
While many people have heard of resin, many don’t actually know what it is made from or how it is installed. There are actually two types of resin; bound and bonded; and we can install both types here at CW Stanley Surfacing & Landscape Co. Both types provide their own benefits, which you can find out more about below.
A resin-bound surface is installed using a mix of resin and aggregates. This surface is created by mixing your chosen aggregate(s) with the resin before pouring it over the surface area. It is then trowelled smooth and left to set.
The beauty of this type of surface is that it is fully permeable and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems compliant thanks to the way it is created. The mixture of aggregate(s) and resin allows for water to naturally drain through the surface and into the ground below. This reduces the risk of flooding and puddles forming on the surface, as well as being beneficial for the environment.
When it comes to a resin surface, you will find there are many benefits general to the material, whether you opt for bonded or bound. One such benefit is that there is a wide range of colour choices available. You can have a surface created using one vibrant coloured aggregate or, for something a little more unique, you can choose multiple aggregates. This makes the design elements virtually limitless.
Additionally, you will find resin is just as strong and durable as other surfacing materials, such as tarmac or concrete. It will hold up under pressure and provide years of reliable service. However, it boasts much higher levels of aesthetics thanks to the colour choices, with a UV stable resin meaning the colours won’t fade over time, even in direct sunlight.
Installation is also quick and simple, generally taking between 1-3 days. This means there is minimal disruption to your daily life or business operations if you are a commercial client. The shorter installation time also means that this is a more cost-effective surfacing solution than many others on the market.
Here at CW Stanley Surfacing & Landscape Co., 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.
During the survey and consultation, we will look at the base for your new surface; if we deem it sturdy, we won’t need to do anything. However, we may need to install a new base layer for your resin surfacing. The best materials for your base layer are tarmac or concrete, as they provide a sturdy base. Materials such as block paving or slabs are unsuitable as they can shift, causing damage to the resin surface.
From there, we will create a bespoke design for your resin surfacing, taking your tastes into consideration. You will be provided with a quote for the project, with all the costs detailed. Once we have received the go-ahead, our team will get to work on the installation of your new surface. We work to the highest of standards and, once complete, we will leave the site clean and tidy.
