Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded - what's the difference?

There are two main techniques for using resin in a driveway. Despite the similar names, there are some important differences:

  • Resin Bound - this involves the resin and aggregate being mixed prior to application. The mixture is then spread evenly across the chosen surface, drying to a very solid and even finish. A big advantage of this technique is that the drive remains completely water permeable.
  • Resin Bonded - this technique involves resin first applied over the driveway, then a subsequent layer of loose stone pressed into the top surface. This is a quicker and cheaper process but can often lead to loose chippings and an uneven finish. There is an added disadvantage that the drive will no longer be permeable.

At Romans Construction we offer both types of resin driveway, although we recommend resin bound for best results.
