This product can also be used as a resin bonded system where the resin is applied to the substrate and the gravel is scattered across the surface. Pour on Gravel Binder like Gravel-Lok will need to be reapplied periodically as stones get dislodged over time. Aggregates Decorative aggregates are a little different from what is classed as wet aggregates. The stone is tumbled and then graded for size. Each mix uses a combination for 2-5mm stone and 1-3mm stone.Read more… This is classed as a low-density aggregate. The aggregate is washed so that it’s clean and then kiln dried before being bagged at 25kg weight. It’s important that the stone is completely dry, as moisture will react with the resin and will result in “micro-foaming” (clouding). Never use aggregate that has visible water droplets in the bag. Aggregates vary in shape depending on the colour. Read less… There are plenty of reasons to choose our resin bound kits.

Trowel the mix onto the driveway surface and allow the setup to cure undisturbed for about 6 hours before walking on it. We advise that you allow 24 hours after laying your drive before you use a car on it. Tip: The use of batons may help with the even distribution and to provide a consistent depth across the surface. Tree pits are laid using resin bound surfaces, with a larger sized aggregate often used to provide greater permeability. Outdoor sports surfaces and cycle paths are commonly finished with resin bound aggregates. It is highly recommended you hire an experienced, reputable contractor to prevent most issues associated with the finish. If the surface has not been seal properly and the base it was applied to was not a suitable material or frost and moisture were present, the top surface could separate from the base.

Help And Support

Resin bonded finishes tend to be the cheaper of the two solutions, although they are non-permeable which is not always suitable and often leads to puddles and drainage issues. Resin bound driveways, on the other hand, are permeable meaning water can freely disperse. They also result in fewer loose stones and an overall smoother, more uniform surface. The mixture is spread on top of the existing surface and levelled to make a new long-lasting surface. Use a clear gravel binder if you want UV protection for your aggregate (the color of the binder will not fade to yellow over time). Many homeowners choose to have the bonded gravel design installed for driveways where the surface is on a slope. This is because the texture of the finish provides more grip and anti-slip qualities, making it a safe option for vehicles and pedestrians.
