Resin Bonded Surfacing in Stubbington means working with largely post-war and modern estate housing — aggregate broadcast and rolled onto a resin adhesive layer, giving a textured, gravel-like finish. The typical job here deals with standard estate frontages with straightforward off-street parking. It suits larger areas and verges being resurfaced over an already sound, level base, and it’s worth knowing that it keeps more texture underfoot than resin bound, which suits some frontages better than others.
About Resin Bonded Surfacing
Resin bonded surfacing works differently to resin bound: a resin adhesive is spread over the prepared base and the aggregate is then broadcast and rolled onto that wet layer, so only the underside of each stone is bonded and the top surface keeps its natural, textured, gravel-like appearance and grip. It is generally laid in a single layer rather than the full-depth mix used for resin bound, which makes it a economical option for covering larger areas, verges, and pathways where the fully smooth resin-bound look isn’t essential. The finish is more textured underfoot than resin bound and, because it is a thinner system, it is usually specified over a genuinely sound and level existing base rather than as a full standalone rebuild.
Best suited to: larger areas, verges, and pathways being resurfaced over an already sound, level base
Less suited to: a fully smooth barefoot-friendly finish, or sites needing a full structural rebuild rather than a resurface
