BOUND SURFACING
ADDAGRIP: PROVEN PERFORMANCE IN THE PUBLIC REALM
In landscape and urban design, materials are expected to do more than meet a specification. They must contribute to the identity of a space, respond to environmental challenges, and continue to perform long after installation. For over four decades, Addagrip has worked alongside architects, landscape designers, and contractors to deliver resin bound surfacing that meets these demands— combining technical performance with considered design.
Across the UK and internationally, Addagrip systems are specified in a wide range of environments, from heritage landscapes and public parks to high-footfall urban spaces. What connects these projects is not just the finish, but the confidence that the surface will perform over time. Proven performance is not a claim; it is demonstrated through real-world application, across varying conditions and levels of use.
A key advantage of resin bound surfacing lies in its ability to balance aesthetics with functionality. Using natural aggregates, surfaces can be tailored to complement their surroundings— whether that means blending into a historic setting or enhancing a contemporary scheme. The seamless finish creates clean, uninterrupted surfaces, while the permeability supports SuDS principles, helping to manage surface water effectively within the wider landscape strategy.
For specifiers, this combination of visual flexibility and technical reliability is critical. Materials must not only align with the design intent but also meet performance requirements around durability, slip resistance, and maintenance. Addagrip’ s systems are developed to deliver on these expectations, offering solutions that are suitable for both pedestrian and vehicular applications, depending on the specification.
Equally important is how materials integrate within the broader context of a project. In public realm schemes, surfacing plays a key role in guiding movement, defining spaces, and enhancing accessibility. Resin bound systems provide a smooth, consistent surface
