When choosing a surface for your driveway, patio or pathway, safety is often just as important as appearance. For families with young children and pets, factors such as slip resistance, cleanliness, durability and ease of maintenance can play a major role in the decision-making process
PERMABOUND resin bound surfacing provides a durable, permeable and low-maintenance solution suitable for a wide range of outdoor environments.
Benefits Of Resin Bound
No Slipping Or Tripping
PERMABOUND surfaces have a non-slip quality which is achieved through the use of both the Binding Quartz (which is added during the mixing process) and the GripDust (crushed glass which is applied to the finished surface while it is still tacky).
The smooth finish helps reduce common trip hazards by providing a more even and consistent surface underfoot
Comfortable on bare toes and paws
The finished surface has no sharp edges, splinters, or rough patches that could scrape or irritate delicate paws or feet.
Its smooth texture provides a comfortable surface for pets and children to walk, run, play, and rest on, minimising the risk of minor injuries and discomfort.
Hygienic and Easy To Clean
The surface is easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal effort to keep it looking neat and presentable.
Its stable, well-draining structure helps prevent the build-up of mud, dirt, and debris, reducing the amount that is tracked into the home or surrounding indoor areas.
No choking or ingestion hazards
As the stones are firmly bound together, there are no loose ones that pets or children can accidentally swallow, scatter, or kick up during play.
This helps reduce the risk of choking, digestive issues, and minor injuries associated with traditional loose aggregate surfaces.
Cooler in the summer
Compared to some darker, impervious surfacing materials, resin bound surfaces can feel more comfortable underfoot during warmer weather.
The natural stone finish absorbs and releases heat differently from materials such as asphalt, helping to create a more pleasant outdoor environment.
Designed to last
PERMABOUND surfaces are built to withstand a range of things such as claw traffic, pushchairs, pet urine and dropped toys, etc.
Resin bound is a weather-resistant surface, as well as being fully permeable. Meaning no standing water or frost and heat damage!
