Marketed in some quarters as ‘stone carpet’, bound resin surfacing is created using a forced action mixer to combine durable aggregate with a high-performance mixing resin. When overlaid on a tarmac or concrete bed, these resin-bound systems form an attractive and functional layer suitable for footpaths, driveways, small car parks, and all kinds of outdoor pedestrianised areas. At MCG we supply resin bound driveways Preston customers can be proud of, which will reflect well on your business and premises.
Advantages
Resin-bound flooring systems have several advantages over the common alternatives, such as block paving, concrete and tarmac. For example, it is the only solution which is inherently slip resistant in wet conditions due to the texture of the aggregate which gives it its strength. It is also weed and frost-resistant, thereby eliminating two further common causes of falls on hard surfaces. And unlike concrete or block paving, it can be installed seamlessly over any area, thereby improving not only its aesthetic qualities but also preventing gradual damage due to plant growth or freeze-thaw action.
SUDS-Compliant
One of the most significant features of the resin-bound flooring is that it is SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) compliant. Once set, a resin bound surface is permeable, meaning water can easily drain away through the top layer to the base layer below. This means that when applied to a carefully cambered substrate, water will never pool to form puddles, and potential flood risks are alleviated.
