A resin-bound driveway surface is created by coating dried natural stone aggregates with a clear polyurethane resin mixture using a special forced action mixer. This coated stone mix is then skillfully applied onto a pre-existing base or newly constructed sub-base.

The typical application thickness ranges from 15mm to 18mm, depending on the size of the chosen aggregate stones. Once applied, the resin-bound surface is trowel-finished to achieve a smooth, aesthetically pleasing, and seamless look.

During winter

It is advisable to apply rock salt on your resin driveway to prevent ice formation as well as to dissolve the unexpected frost or ice that might have formed. However, once winter is over, you should scrub your driveway thoroughly to remove any traces of rock salt. Use a plastic shovel to remove snow from your resin bound driveway.
