Still Going Strong: SureSet Resin Bound Installation in Salisbury Proves Its Durability 20 Years On
Installed in 2004 | Residential Car Park | Over 250m² | Buff Natural Aggregate Blend
In a world where surface materials are constantly tested by time, weather, and daily use, only a select few stand out for their resilience and enduring quality. One such example is SureSet’s resin bound paving installation carried out back in 2004 at Gigant Street, Salisbury. Over two decades later, this residential car park – covering more than 250 square metres – continues to perform superbly, looking great and functioning as reliably as the day it was laid.
A Testament to Quality: The SureSet Legacy
SureSet has been at the forefront of the resin bound paving industry since 1997, proudly manufacturing and supplying high-quality permeable surfaces designed to last. The Gigant Street project, completed just seven years into our journey, is a perfect case study demonstrating the quality and durability that have become hallmarks of the SureSet name.
Using one of our original natural aggregate blends – a warm, buff-toned mix – the installation perfectly complemented the surrounding residential architecture. Selected for its aesthetic appeal and ability to blend into the character of the area, this blend was also chosen for its practical performance, including excellent slip resistance and full permeability, which allows water to drain naturally through the surface.
Standing the Test of Time
Now over 20 years old, the surface at Gigant Street shows no signs of premature wear, cracking, or fading – even with regular vehicle traffic and exposure to the elements. This is thanks to the unique formulation of our UV-stable resin, meticulous installation standards, and rigorous quality control that has been embedded in our business since day one.
Maintenance requirements over the decades have been minimal – a simple occasional sweep and clean has been all that's needed to keep the surface in good condition. This kind of low-maintenance durability has been a defining reason why property owners, developers, and architects continue to choose SureSet year after year.
Why Longevity Matters
In today's environmentally conscious and economically aware climate, longevity is more than a nice-to-have – it’s essential. SureSet’s resin bound paving offers not only long-term performance and aesthetic consistency, but also sustainability, by reducing surface water runoff and supporting urban drainage strategies.
The Gigant Street project remains a powerful example of how SureSet’s commitment to innovation and quality pays off decades later – for both the client and the environment.
More Than Just a Surface
We often say at SureSet that we don’t just install surfaces – we create long-lasting impressions. The Gigant Street car park is a living, working showcase of that philosophy. As we move forward into our third decade of operation, this early installation continues to reinforce the trust our clients place in us – not just for the first year, but for many decades to come.
Thinking long term? Think SureSet.
