Enhance your garden with Resin Bonded Aggregates

If you're looking to enhance the look, feel and design of your garden this year, then you may wish to consider adding aggregates. These can vastly enhance the look and appearance of any garden as they look both visually appealing and stylish. They also have a range of benefits and are also practical too!

From quarried aggregates, such as gravel, crushed rock and sand, to decorative aggregates, such as pebbles, cobbles and slate chippings, the choices are endless enabling you to tailor is to your specific preferences. Aggregates are an affordable and easy way to enhance the look of any garden space.

You may have heard of both Resin Bonded and Resin Bound systems as a process of applying the aggregates to the chosen area. Resin Bonding is the process of scattering loose aggregates onto a base of resin which has been applied to a surface. It has been designed to give the appearance of loose gravel. It is not to be confused with resin bound, where the aggregates are mixed with the resin. The resin bound aggregate mix is then trowelled down to ensure a smooth, flat finish with no loose aggregates. For those who are new to the resin bound industry or wish to become a DALTEX UVR System Qualified Installer, resin bound training courses are an invaluable and practical tool to ensure you have access to the knowledge required to complete high quality, resin bound installations.

Lets take a closer look at the benefits of Resin Bonded Aggregates...

Appearance

There is a vast array of different aggregates that can be used in a range of styles and colours to perfectly compliment your chosen area. They make and attractive alternative to paving or slabs.

It has the appearance of gravel without the movement which means it does not have to be regularly replaced making it a cost effective solution.

Permeable
This is a permeable solution meaning surface water will not build up like it does on non permeable surfaces.

Cost effective
This can be a cost effective solution due to the the simpler installation process.

Quick Installation
Unlike resin bound which is hand trowelled onto the surface for a smooth finish, resin bonded involves pouring loose aggregate over resin and doesn’t require such a precise application so it is faster to install.

Natural Look

Resin bonded is a popular choice as it provides a similar texture and appearance to loose gravel.

High Traction

It has a rough texture providing extra grip so it can be a great option for areas where slip resistance is crucial.

In conclusion, resin-bonded aggregates offer a versatile and durable solution for a wide range of applications including driveways, pathways and decorative surfaces. The combination of natural aggregates and resin creates a surface that is not only visually appealing but resistant to weathering and foot traffic. The ability to customise with different aggregate colours and shapes makes them an attractive choice for both residential and commercial places. With lasting benefits and low maintenance requirements, this is a great choice for your surface requirements.
