How is resin bound flooring installed?

Professional installation is recommended. The process includes preparing the base (concrete or tarmac), mixing natural aggregates with UV-stable resin, and hand-trowelling the blend to create a smooth, seamless, and durable surface.

Resin bound flooring is very low-maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing are enough to keep surfaces clean. Because it is weed-resistant and porous, it stays fresh and functional with minimal effort.

A professionally installed resin driveway or patio typically lasts 15–20 years, depending on usage and base preparation. Standard workmanship warranty is 2 years, while premium projects may include extended coverage of 3–5 years.

Is repair possible if damaged?

Yes, small areas of resin bound flooring can be repaired or re-bonded. For significant damage, a professional installer can patch or re-lay the affected section without replacing the entire surface.

Can resin bound flooring be used in wet areas?

Yes. Resin bound flooring is permeable and slip-resistant, making it ideal for pool surrounds, patios, and pathways where water drainage is important.

Can resin bound flooring be used both indoors and outdoors?

Absolutely. While most popular for resin driveways, patios, and gardens, it can also be used in decorative interiors, courtyards, and commercial spaces thanks to its seamless, stylish, and durable finish.

Concrete / Screed

Suitable

Must be stable, level, and structurally sound. Clean, repair cracks, and ensure good drainage. Apply suitable primer and base coat before resin bound surfacing.

Tarmac / Asphalt

Suitable

Freshly laid tarmac should cure for at least 3–4 weeks. Must be level, free of oil and debris. Repairs or overlays may be needed for weak spots before resin bound installation.

Existing Concrete / Paving Slabs

Conditional

Surface must be fully stable with no movement. Clean thoroughly, repair joints, and ensure a solid, even base. May require overlay or screed before resin bound application.

Block Paving

Not Recommended

Movement in blocks leads to cracking. Blocks should be removed and replaced with a stable concrete or tarmac base before resin bound surfacing.

Gravel / Loose Stone

Not Recommended

Loose bases cannot support resin bound flooring. Replace with compacted MOT type 1 base and concrete/tarmac before application.

Moisture & Drainage

Conditional

Resin bound flooring is permeable but requires proper drainage. Ensure no standing water, resolve active cracks, and install drainage solutions where necessary.
