Resin Bonded Stone
Our Resin Bonded Stone system combines natural aggregates with a clear resin binder to create durable, decorative surfaces. Ideal for driveways and pathways, this solution offers excellent slip resistance while maintaining a natural stone appearance. The system's permeable structure allows water drainage, reducing puddling and maintenance requirements.
Resin Bound Stone
Resin Bound Stone provides a smooth, seamless finish using smaller aggregates mixed with resin. Perfect for landscaped areas and pond surrounds, this system creates a weed-resistant, low-maintenance surface. The mixture is trowelled to create a consistent finish that retains natural aesthetics while ensuring long-term durability.
Playground Systems
Our Playground Systems use rubber bark or bonded aggregates to create impact-absorbing surfaces. Designed to meet safety standards, these installations eliminate splinters and reduce injury risk from falls. The systems combine safety features with visual appeal for domestic play areas and public parks.
Tree Pit Systems
Tree Pit Systems provide decorative, functional surfacing around urban trees. Using resin-bound materials prevents soil erosion while maintaining water permeability. This solution enhances streetscape aesthetics while protecting tree root systems and reducing maintenance needs in commercial and residential developments.
Anti Slip Tapes
Anti Slip Tapes offer a practical solution for high-risk areas like pool surrounds and decking. The adhesive strips feature abrasive particles embedded in resin for enhanced grip. Available in various colours, they provide discreet safety improvements without compromising aesthetic requirements in both domestic and commercial settings.
Questions
What is the difference between resin bonded and resin bound systems?
Resin bonded systems apply aggregate over a resin layer, creating a textured finish. Resin bound systems mix aggregates with resin for a smoother, more permeable surface.
Do I need planning permission for resin surfacing?
Most residential installations don't require planning permission, but we recommend checking with your local authority for specific property requirements.
Can you install surfaces nationwide?
Yes, we offer nationwide installation services across the UK for both domestic and commercial projects.
How do your systems handle wet weather?
Our permeable resin systems allow water drainage, reducing slip risks and puddling while maintaining surface integrity in all weather conditions.
What maintenance is required?
Our surfaces require minimal maintenance - occasional sweeping and pressure washing to maintain appearance and performance characteristics.
