SureSet Resin: Offering CPDs to Industry Professionals – Unlocking the Benefits of Resin Bound Paving

As the construction and landscape architecture industries continue to evolve, staying informed about innovative materials and techniques is essential for industry professionals such as specifiers, architects, and landscape designers. At SureSet Resin Systems, we understand the importance of continuing professional development (CPD) and are proud to offer tailored CPD presentations that explore the benefits of resin bound paving.

Whether you're a specifier, landscape architect, or involved in urban planning, these CPDs are designed to help you discover how resin bound surfaces can enhance your projects. In this blog, we'll explore what resin bound paving is, the key benefits it offers, and why SureSet’s CPD presentations are a valuable resource for professionals.

What Is Resin Bound Paving?

Resin bound paving is a permeable surfacing solution that combines natural aggregates with a specially formulated resin to create a durable, smooth, and porous surface. Unlike traditional surfacing methods, such as asphalt or concrete, resin bound paving is both visually appealing and highly functional. It offers a modern, sustainable solution for pathways, driveways, patios, as well as commercial areas, tree surrounds and access roads.

Resin bound systems consist of a mixture of high-quality aggregates coated in clear polyurethane resin. This blend is then trowelled onto a suitable base to create a surface that is both hard-wearing and aesthetically flexible, allowing for a range of design possibilities.

Benefits of Resin Bound Paving

For professionals looking to specify the best materials for their projects, understanding the benefits of resin bound paving is crucial. Here’s why resin bound surfaces are increasingly popular in both residential and commercial projects:

Permeability and SuDS Compliance

One of the standout features of resin bound paving is its permeability, making it an ideal solution for managing surface water. Resin bound surfaces are fully compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) regulations, which are designed to reduce the risk of flooding in urban areas. The surface allows water to drain through naturally, reducing runoff and easing pressure on drainage systems.

Durability and Low Maintenance

Resin bound surfaces are highly durable, capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic and vehicle loads without cracking or degrading. This long-lasting solution requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional paving systems. Unlike block paving, which can suffer from weed growth between joints, resin bound surfaces are seamless, offering a sleek finish with reduced maintenance concerns.

Design Flexibility

Resin bound paving offers unlimited design potential. With a variety of aggregate colours and textures available, the surface can be customised to suit the aesthetic requirements of any project. Whether it’s a sleek contemporary design with a logo or a natural look that blends into the landscape, resin bound paving can be tailored to fit.

Environmentally Friendly

The eco-friendly nature of resin bound paving is another major benefit. Not only is it SuDS-compliant, reducing the impact of urbanisation on natural water cycles, but the materials themselves are sustainable. Many of the aggregates used are naturally sourced, and SureSet’s resin is formulated to minimise its environmental footprint.

Safety and Accessibility

Resin bound paving offers a smooth, anti-slip surface, making it ideal for both pedestrian and vehicular areas. It’s particularly suitable for environments that require high accessibility standards, such as public spaces, hospitals, or care homes, where safety is a priority.
