BBA approved porous resin surfacing
Addagrip Resin Bound Surfacing systems Addaset, Addabound and Terrabound have been certified by The British Board of Agrément (BBA), the UK’s major authority recognised by building control, government departments, architects, local authorities, specifiers, and industry insurers. We were the first manufacturer to be awarded BBA certificates for resin bound surfacing systems in January 2016 and are proud to have passed all our annual BBA assessments with flying colours.
Only products and systems that have passed a series of comprehensive assessments, including laboratory tests, on-site evaluations, quality management checks and inspections of production, are awarded an Agrément Certificate.
Why should I use a BBA approved Resin Bound system?
British Agrément Certificates provide reassurance to users, designers, insurers and regulators and are recognised throughout the UK by architects, engineers and building control personnel as a mark of quality, safety and reliability. The BBA’s impartial information complements Addagrip’s own technical data on the performance of the products certified. Once the certificate has been awarded, regular monitoring is carried out by the BBA to maintain the Certificate’s validity. This is followed by a comprehensive review every three years.
Performance
The durability and performance of BBA approved resin bound surfacing systems Addaset, Addabound and Terrabound will depend on site conditions and the project type, but generally the surfacing ‘will have a service life in excess of conventional asphalt surfacing’ (As stated in section 10 of our BBA Certificate no 16/5288).
Addaset, Addabound and Terrabound ‘have satisfactory resistance to the loads associated with vehicle and pedestrian traffic conditions for which they are designed for’ (As stated in section 10 of our BBA Certificate no 16/5288). See the BBA’s guidelines on Resin Bound Surfacing here
