Curing time
Footprints
Do not walk on your new Resin Bound surface
for 24-48 hours, and do not drive on resin for
48-72 hours after installation. These times
are temperature dependent and we would
recommend you always follow the installer’s
advice for exact timings.
the perimeter.
Ensure pesky people or animals cannot
walk on the Resin Bound surface. Footprints
cannot be removed! Devices can be
used to deter animals, and we would
recommend to place tape/barriers around
No leaks/drips
Ensure there are no leaks/drips on the curing
resin because excess moisture will signi昀椀cantly
weaken and discolour Resin Bound surfaces
during the curing period. Continuous drips/leaks
cause erosion in the long term, and will degrade
the surface.
5 Most Important Points to Remember
Static wheel/small turning circles
Leaching/Discolouration
Pressure exerted from static turning can
dislodge surface aggregates. Once the matrix
has broken, the surface will weaken and break
away. It is very important that vehicle wheels
are not turned when static or slow moving, and
small turning circles should be eliminated in the
driveway design.
Like all paving surfaces, Resin Bound
will discolour if covered long term
permanently with a close contact object.
Discolouration occurs from leaching
and lack of exposure to air/sunlight. An
example would be a 昀氀at bottom plant pot
or a storage box. Use raised plant pots,
and do not store items like storage boxes
on the surface.
Impact damage/high point loads
Take care not to drop heavy equipment on to
the driveway, such as the placement of skips.
Also be aware - skips can often leach rust on
to your driveway which you may not be able
to clean. Car jacks can depress the surface of
Resin Bound and should be placed on a wooden
board for load distribution.
Chemicals and staining
Petrol, solvents, etc. should not come into
contact with resin surfacing ideally. In the event
of spillages, dilute and clean immediately.
Solvents and some chemicals will degrade the
resin binder, resulting in stone loosening over a
period of time.
Rejuvenating your surface
A great way to extend the life of your
driveway is by sealing the surface
after a deep clean. This can be done
using a diluted polyurethane UV resin
sealer – contact your installer for more
information. A good time to carry out this
enhancement would be 2-4 years after
installation of the resin surface.
