Frequently Asked Questions

Resin bound surfaces are porous, which means that water can pass through them. The surface is made up of a matrix of small holes that allow water to drain through. When laid with a permeable subbase, such as open graded porous tarmac or porous concrete over MOT type 3, surface water will drain straight through the resin materials into the substrate without the need for installing extra drainage. This makes resin bound surfaces SuDS compliant, which stands for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems. SuDS drainage systems direct water away from conventional, non-permeable pipe and sewer drainage channels, in favour of more natural drainage courses where water is absorbed back into the ground. 

The installation time for a resin surface can vary depending on factors such as the size of the area, the complexity of the design, and weather conditions. On average, the installation process can take several days to a week, including surface preparation, resin mixing and pouring, and curing time.

After installation, you need to wait for your resin surface to set properly before you can walk on it. The time it takes for the surface to set can vary depending on factors such as the weather conditions and the size of the area. However, to stay on the safe side, it’s best to wait for 24 hours after installation to eliminate any risk of damage.

After installation, you need to wait for your resin surface to set properly before you can drive on it. The time it takes for the surface to set can vary depending on factors such as the weather conditions and the size of the area. However, to stay on the safe side, it’s best to wait for 48 hours after installation before driving on the surface.

Resin surfaces are designed to be durable and long-lasting. The expected lifespan of a resin surface can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the materials used, the installation process, and the amount of wear and tear the surface is subjected to. On average, a resin surface can last for 15-20 years with proper maintenance and care.

To extend the lifespan of your resin surface, it’s important to maintain it regularly. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help to remove any dirt, grime, or other debris that has accumulated on the surface and prevent it from causing damage. It’s also important to avoid placing heavy furniture or equipment on the surface, as this can cause damage over time.

The amount of resin bound that can be laid in a day depends on various factors such as the size of the area, the complexity of the design, and the number of installers working on the project. However a team of three experienced resin driveway installers will be able to lay between 70m² – 150m² of resin bound in a day. However, the laying capacity can vary depending on the specific installation conditions.
