When rainwater falls on a paved surface, it needs to drain away or the water flows across the surface forming pools, adding to the flood risk and cracking. Conventional solid surfaces are impermeable but gravel surfaces avoid this problem as water flows freely through the small stones and into the ground, the downside to gravel is that it can be messy and difficult for pushchairs or wheelchairs. Resin bound paving combines the benefits of both solid and gravel surfaces.
Resin bound UV resistant systems create many small gaps that allow water to drain through into the ground. Specially formulated for resin bound installations of driveways, paths and patios,which are available from builders merchants, to create a surface as strong as concrete.
A resin bound system will typically be laid at 15mm thick to an existing sub-base to create a firm surface.
• Driveways compliment the house colour and stay puddle free. Customise lines for driveway basketball games and keep your feet cooler by choosing light colours.
• Extended driveways and carports, or other added storage spots that are normally eyesores, match the original driveway and compliment the house colour.
• Pathways see less puddling and are thus more slip resistant.
• Courtyards, or wide open entertaining places, keep cooler with lighter colours of stone, and the surface is free of puddles for entertaining after a rainstorm.
• Playgrounds keep cooler with light stone colors and become playful places with whimsical colour accents in bright shades of recycled glass that shine
• Pool surrounds with light surfaces stay cooler, and colour accents creatively make pool time more fun. The slip-resistant sand finish keeps everyone safe, too.
• Patios, large and small, are perfect for porous paving, and it is nice to have so many colour options to choose from to match
the house or compliment the pool surround or the garden pathway system.
• Parking lots for cars see less puddles (if any) with porous paving. Customise and make permanent white lines and handicapped spots or employee of the month spots with white stone and recycled coloured glass. A company logo StoneSet into a parking lot makes quite the impression for your church, school, business, or organization.
• Disability and wheelchair access ramps match the parking lot or the front entry way's natural stone colour. With vibrantly coloured recycled glass, add welcoming accents. The sand coated StoneSet ramp will remain slip-resistant and require far less
maintenance than a concrete ramp.
• Tree and garden surrounds made of porous paving provide puddle-free cool surfaces and shady areas outside around a building and improve the environment around it. Porous paving prevent erosion and the colour options makes and garden landscape stand out as special.
