SureSet UV-Stable ProResin with 6mm Desert Grey Aggregate
Glenco recently completed a 147m² resin bound surfacing installation on Euston Road, London, using SureSet UV-stable ProResin and 6mm Desert Grey natural aggregate installed at a 16mm depth. The project delivered a durable, permeable, and visually modern surface suitable for a high-use urban environment.
Project Overview
Glenco were appointed to install a high-performance resin bound surface on Euston Road, London, a busy urban environment requiring a durable, visually consistent, and permeable surfacing solution. The project demanded precise installation standards, premium materials, and careful coordination to minimise disruption in a high-footfall location.
Client Objectives
The client’s primary requirements were:
-
A hard-wearing surface suitable for an urban, high-use environment
-
A modern, neutral finish to complement the surrounding architecture
-
A permeable surface to support sustainable drainage requirements
-
Long-term colour stability and resistance to wear
Material Selection
Glenco specified SureSet UV-Stable ProResin, chosen for its proven performance in demanding commercial applications. The UV-stable formulation ensures long-term colour retention, even in exposed city environments.
This was paired with 6mm Desert Grey natural aggregate, selected for its contemporary appearance and excellent compaction properties. Installed at a 16mm depth, the system provided the strength and durability required for the site while maintaining a smooth, seamless finish.
Installation Process
Due to the central London location on Euston Road, planning and logistics were critical. Glenco Civil Engineers carried out detailed site assessments and scheduling to ensure safe access and efficient installation.
The existing base was prepared to meet resin bound system requirements, ensuring correct levels, drainage, and adhesion. The SureSet ProResin and Desert Grey aggregate were mixed on-site in accordance with the manufacturer's SureSet' specifications and applied by experienced operatives.
The resin bound material was hand trowelled across the 147m² area, maintaining consistent depth, tight joints, and crisp edges throughout. Particular care was taken to achieve a uniform finish across the entire surface.
Challenges and Solutions
Working on a busy London thoroughfare presented challenges including restricted access, time constraints, and high pedestrian traffic. Glenco overcame these by implementing phased working areas and maintaining strict site management procedures.
Weather conditions were monitored closely to ensure optimal curing, delivering a high-quality finish without compromise.
Outcome
The completed resin bound surface provides a robust, low-maintenance, and visually refined solution that enhances the surrounding streetscape. The Desert Grey aggregate delivers a clean, modern aesthetic, while the SureSet UV-Stable ProResin ensures durability and long-term performance.
The client was highly satisfied with the result, noting the professional approach, efficient delivery, and premium finish achieved by Glenco.
Conclusion
This Euston Road project demonstrates Glenco’s capability to deliver high-quality resin bound surfacing in challenging urban environments. By combining expert installation with SureSet UV-Stable ProResin and 6mm Desert Grey aggregate at a 16mm depth, Glenco successfully completed a durable and visually appealing 147m² resin bound installation in the heart of London.
