BOUND SURFACING
The range of colours and textures used in this project importantly blend in with surroundings whilst the feature paving materials provide a sharp contrast of interest for visitors . Resin bound paving has proved to be the perfect design solution for an extensive range of projects across the world . From schools , medical centres , bridges , and hospitals , to private homes and pedestrianised areas , the product has brought life and colour to landscape schemes of all shapes , sizes , and complexity .
For larger intricate areas , most suppliers have their own professional , skilled installation teams . However , for smaller areas , some also offer DIY kits that contain everything needed to complete a perfect job . Visit our contact page for installations or browse our selfinstall products via our online shop to check what ’ s available .
Performance is never sacrificed for the sake of design . SureSet resin systems provide a beautiful and hard-wearing surface that will give plentiful years of service that requires minimal maintenance .
Resistant to cracks , oil , UV-light , and frost damage , the integrity of a SureSet resin bound surface remains intact , preventing stones from becoming loose and weeds from growing through .
SureSet were approached to explore the feasibility of a resin floor at the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo to increase flood resilience due to increased risk as a result of climate change .
The team were professional in their approach from start to finish , excellent in communicating what was attainable , sending samples so we could see exactly what effects we could achieve for our blended butterfly features , inset into the flooring . Of particular note was the diligence with which the preinstallation surveys took place , ensuring that the correct quantities were used saving costs , and eliminating waste . The installation team worked quickly and efficiently and tidied up after themselves . The effect looks really amazing and we , and the public , are very impressed with the result , being both visually impressive and practical to maintain .
The whole process has been a stressfree experience , providing the best solution to our particular needs , and most reassuring is that we know the SureSet team are always available to help us in the future . Lindsay , Edward and Emma from the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo .
