Resin bonded aggregates used in surfacing systems are best for light-traffic areas. They’re an excellent choice for driveways as the rough texture makes the surface slip resistant to provide better traction. For the same anti-slip safety features, resin bonded surfaces are also ideal for pathways, patios and courtyards.

Heritage projects that are after the aesthetics of natural gravel surfaces but without the movement and displacement of stones should opt for resin bonded surfaces. This will create the desired finish with enhanced practicality and safety.

Due to the nature of resin bonded systems, where resin is applied first and the aggregates are scattered across the resin, water cannot pass through. This means that resin bonded surfacing is non-porous. For a permeable surface, opt for resin bound surfaces instead.

The grade and quality of the aggregates you choose are crucial to the success of your project. At Grantex, we carefully source, screen and dry our aggregates using our own state-of-the-art facilities. We also conduct in-house laboratory testing to ensure the quality and suitability of our products for the intended application.

For a strong bond with resin, clean, dried aggregates are non-negotiable. This ensures there’s no cracking (provided proper installation procedures have been followed), prevents cloudy and uneven surface appearance and creates a much more durable, long-lasting surface.
