RESIN BOUND GRAVEL FLOORING

The Ultimate Solution for Long-Lasting and Attractive Surfaces

What is Resin Bound Gravel Flooring?

Resin bound gravel flooring is a modern surfacing solution that combines decorative natural aggregates (marble, granite chips, or stone) with a clear UV-stable polyurethane resin binder. This innovative mixture is thoroughly blended and trowelled by hand onto a prepared base, creating a smooth, seamless, and naturally permeable surface. At Applicator Technical Services, we specialize in delivering premium resin bound installations that transform your spaces with both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Unlike traditional loose gravel or concrete surfaces, resin bound gravel creates a breathing, water-permeable coating that remains stable under aggressive conditions, extreme temperatures, and heavy traffic. The result is a sophisticated flooring solution that maintains its natural stone appearance while providing the durability of advanced resin technology.

Routine Care

Resin bound gravel requires minimal maintenance, making it highly cost-effective over its lifespan. Regular maintenance includes:

Weekly sweeping with a stiff-bristled brush to remove debris and prevent moss growth

Monthly hosing with a garden hose to rinse away dirt and maintain appearance

Quarterly pressure washing using moderate pressure (150 bar maximum) with a fan setting

Stain Management

Address spills immediately to prevent permanent staining. For stubborn stains:

Oil spills: Use cat litter to absorb excess, followed by specialist degreaser

Organic stains: Apply oxygen bleach solution and scrub gently

General staining: Use mild vinegar and water solution for regular cleaning

Professional Maintenance

Consider professional cleaning services annually for optimal results, especially for commercial applications where appearance is critical.

Deep Cleaning Methods
For thorough cleaning, use specialized rotary cleaning equipment like a Whirlaway system, which distributes high-pressure water evenly across the surface through multiple rotating nozzles. This method provides rigorous cleaning action without damaging the resin surface.

Performance and Durability

Properly installed resin bound gravel surfaces deliver exceptional lifespan, typically lasting 15-25 years with minimal maintenance. High-quality systems with UV-stable resin can last up to 30 years, making them a superior long-term investment. This remarkable durability comes from the flexible yet robust nature of the resin-aggregate combination, which adapts to ground movement without cracking.

The polyurethane resin binder provides extreme stability to various weather conditions including heat, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Unlike concrete that cracks during freeze-thaw cycles, resin bound surfaces maintain their integrity across all seasons. The UV-stable resin prevents discoloration and yellowing, ensuring your surface looks fresh for years.

These surfaces excel under both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, with proper installation handling heavy loads without cracking or deformation. The flexible structure distributes weight effectively, preventing the point-load damage common in rigid surfaces.

One of the most significant advantages is the natural permeability that allows water to drain through the surface, preventing puddles and reducing flood risk. This makes resin bound surfaces SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliant, meeting environmental regulations while providing practical benefits.
