Resin Bound and Resin Bond are two different types of Resin systems. If you are thinking of getting a Resin driveway then Resin Bound and Resin Bond are two systems you may need to weigh up and consider, in order for you to find out exactly what is best for your outside project!
What is Resin Bound?
Resin Bound is the fastest growing driveway surfacing solution in the UK, due to numerous reasons.
Resin Bound is a system where clear Resin is mixed with natural aggregates. The mixture is then laid on top of a suitable surface to create a flat floorspace area with no loose gravel, such as a driveway, or even a school playground. Resin Bound can be used in residential and commercial projects.
Benefits of Resin Bound:
· Resin bound allows water to pass through into the ground beneath – avoiding any puddling or flooding.
· Extremely durable material
· The stones will not come loose or crumble away
· Low maintenance
· Weed-resistant
· Good grip
· Modern and sophisticated
What is Resin Bond?
Resin Bonding is the process of scattering loose dried aggregates onto a coating of resin after the resin has been applied to a surface. It is designed to resemble the texture and appearance of loose gravel. Resin bonded aggregates are sometimes referred to as a scatter coat system.
Benefits of Resin Bond:
· Looks like loose gravel without migrating stone
· Traditional look
· Ideal for areas that are inclined due to grip
Which is better? Resin Bound or Resin Bond?
Ruling one out as ‘better’ is not possible due to the different advantages each system holds. You need to weigh up the advantages of each and decide. You should also never base your choice around a cost because this could be a disadvantage in the long run.
Resin Bound tends to be the more advantageous option for a long-lasting project, due to it being permeable, weed resistant, frost resistant and more sophisticated. However, Resin bond can be more traditional looking, as well as it being useful for disabled ramps or inclined driveways due to loose stones that help grip.
Make sure you speak to a professional about your landscaping project before making the decision.
