Immediate Aftercare
Curing time
Do not walk on your new Resin Bound surface
for 24-48 hours, and do not drive on resin for
48-72 hours after installation. These times
are temperature dependent and we would
recommend you always follow the installer’s
advice for exact timings.
Footprints
Ensure pesky people or animals
cannot walk on the Resin Bound surface.
Footprints cannot be removed! Devices
can be used to deter animals, and we
would recommend to place tape/barriers
around the perimeter.
No leaks/drips
Ensure there are no leaks/drips on
the curing resin because excess moisture will
significantly weaken and discolour Resin Bound
surfaces during the curing period. Continuous
drips/leaks cause erosion in the long term, and
will degrade the surface.
5 Most Important Points to Remember
Static wheel/small turning circles
Pressure
exerted from static turning can
dislodge surface aggregates. Once the matrix
has broken, the surface will weaken and break
away. It is very important that vehicle wheels
are not turned when static or slow moving, and
small turning circles should be eliminated in
the driveway design.
Impact damage/high point loads
Take care not to drop heavy equipment on to
the driveway, such as the placement of skips.
Also be aware - skips can often leach rust on
to your driveway which you may not be able
to clean. Car jacks can depress the surface
of Resin Bound and should be placed on a
wooden board for load distribution.
Chemicals and staining
etrol, solvents etc should not come into
P
contact with resin surfacing ideally. In the
event of spillages, dilute and clean
immediately. Solvents and some chemicals
will degrade the resin binder, resulting in stone
loosening over a period of time.

Leaching/Discolouration
Like all paving surfaces, Resin Bound will
discolour if covered long term permanently
with a close contact object. Discolouration
occurs from leaching and lack of exposure
to air/sunlight. An example would be a flat
bottom plant pot or a storage box. Use
raised plant pots, and do not store items
like storage boxes on the surface.
Rejuvenating your surface
A great way to extend the life of your
driveway is by sealing the surface after
a deep clean. This can be done using a
diluted polyurethane UV resin sealer –
contact your installer for more information.
A good time to carry out this enhancement
would be 2-4 years after installation of the
resin surface.
