BOUND SURFACING

THE SECRET BEHIND WHY MORE LANDSCAPERS

THAN EVER

ARE CHOOSING RESIN BOUND

As well as its inherent beauty , there are many factors why Resin Bound is becoming an increasingly integral feature of landscaping and being added to the services of designers and landscapers across the UK .
But the secret of its rising popularity comes down to three things - its beauty inspires the designer ; its practicality satisfies the installer , and the finished result delights the customer .
Compared to traditional surfacing solutions , like block paving , concrete and tarmac , Resin Bound offers an unmatched range of benefits .
Permeability is important . With urbanisation , flood risk and unpredictable weather becoming serious everyday issues , the government has acted with legislation . As a permeable surface , Resin Bound is SUDS ( Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems ) compliant meaning planning permission is not required ( as long as a suitable base or soakaway is used ). This makes it ideal for new builds and renovations alike .
But customers today want much more and Resin Bound delivers . This attractive yet easy to maintain surface can be used for driveways , patios and paths in both residential and commercial settings .
