How to Lay a Resin Bound Gravel Driveway? Ask the Experts at Resindriveways.com Resin bound gravel driveways are becoming more and more popular and we are often asked how the surface is made and laid. Well because of this, here’s the step-by-step guide to installing a resin bound gravel driveway.
Expert Tips to Installing Resin Bound Gravel Driveway Tip1:You must have a solid base before laying a resin bound gravel driveway – either an existing concrete, tarmac or grid base that hasn’t been laid onto a suitable substrate and has no signs of subsidence or cracking. Ensure the base is strong enough for the type of traffic that will be using the new surface. Make sure it is bone dry before laying any resin; a moisture meter is a good way to check this. Some people use a hot compressed air lance to dry out the base.
Expert Tips to Installing Resin Bound Gravel Driveway Tip2: Make sure you prime the surface unless you are using a self-priming resin. For the mix, it will typically be 100kg of 1-5mm aggregates mixed with a 7kg two part unit of appropriate resin. This single mix should cover approximately 3.8sqm. The two part resin should be thoroughly mixed with a paddle mixer before being added to the stones, usually in a special forced action mixer. We like to add sand to each mix to make sure an anti-slip finish. All materials should be supplied with manufacturer’s guidelines that will need to be followed closely.
Expert Tips to Installing Resin Bound Gravel Driveway Tip 3:Once mixed the resin and stone is poured onto the solid base and leveled using a rake or steel. Then hand toweled to give a compacted and smooth finish. You might find it useful to clean the trowel using solvent if it starts to get mucky half way through. Tip 4:Once completed you will need to avoid walking on it for anything between 4 to 12 hours and don’t drive on it for at least 24hours – the outside temperature can affect the curing times quite a bit, so take this into consideration.
