The Addaset Resin Bound Surfacing System provides a smooth, hard wearing and low maintenance porous/semi porous surface using a range of natural and recycled aggregates bound in a clear UV stable resin.

Suitable for domestic and commercial use for carparks, driveways, courtyards, patios, pathways and pool surrounds and can be applied onto asphalt and concrete or other stable substrates.

Can also be installed using our Terrabase minimum/no-dig system as a Terrabase Classic onto a compacted MOT Type 3.

Available in a range of Addaset blends, each an exact formulation of natural aggregates bound with specific quantities of UV resin.

Addaset is BBA certified, offering additional assurance when choosing this quality surfacing system and has an EPD Declaration.

Addaset has an anticipated lifespan of 15-25 years depending on usage and comes with a Product Guarantee of up to 25 years.

The attractive Addaset range of decorative porous surfacing incorporates our latest UV stable resin technology. Available in 6mm and 10mm porous blends, offering a SuDS compliant surfacing option when installed onto our recommended base build ups. Please note 3mm aggregate blends are semi-porous.

Recommended depths of Addaset are specified depending on aggregate size and use, normally 12mm, 16mm, 18mm or 24mm. We recommend a range of base build ups depending on project type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Resin Bound Surfacing Suitable For Driveways

The Addagrip range of BBA approved Addaset, Addabound Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing, Stonebound and Terrabase systems are suitable for driveways when installed onto one of our recommended base build ups.

How do I clean my Addaset Resin Bound Driveway?

General cleaning of the ADDASET surface can be carried out by cold pressure washing up to a maximum 150 bar rating to remove dirt and grime. The water should be applied using a fan type lance which should be kept 200mm above the installed ADDASET. Care should be taken however to prevent damage to the surface with excessive water pressure. For full details download our Addaset O & M Manual

What’s The Difference Between Resin Bound And Resin Bonded?

There are two different systems that use resin to fix gravel aggregates to create decorative surfacing. These are Resin Bound porous paving and Resin Bonded paving and whilst similar in name they have different properties, application methods and aesthetics. Resin bound surfacing consists of aggregate mixed with resin in specific blends using specific aggregate to resin ratios. The material is trowelled down to a smooth finish similar to a screed (with no loose stones). Depths are specified depending on aggregate size, normally 12mm, 16mm, 18mm or 24mm. Resin bonded surfacing is a scatter system which provides texture and the appearance of loose gravel. A layer of resin is applied to a suitable surface laid to falls and covered with loose aggregate. Once cured the remaining loose stones are removed. Thickness is governed by aggregate size. i.e. 1-3mm aggregate will have a nominal depth of 4mm.

Is Resin Bound Surfacing SuDS Compliant?

The Addagrip range of Resin Bound surfacing systems are porous and SuDS compliant when installed onto one of our recommended porous base build ups.

What Does Resin Bound Surfacing Cost?

Cost depends on sqm area, site specifics such as base requirements, edging and design specification. Contact us to request a quote.

What’s The Lifespan Of Resin Bound Surfacing?

Our range of Resin Bound systems have an anticipated lifespan of up to 25 years depending on product and usage. We have a selection of Product Guarantees ranging from 5 years for Stonebound, 10 years for Terrabase Rustic and Terrabase Classic, 25 years for our BBA range.

Are our resin surfacing systems solvent free?

Addagrip’s Resin Bound and Resin Bonded external surfacing systems do not contain non-aqueous/non-polar solvents as part of the product formulation, ensuring that they are solvent free. Please note: small quantities of a proprietary solvent mix are offered to contractors to aid in the cleaning of tools and equipment. As this solvent mix will damage the resin surfacing, it is always recommended that tool cleaning is carried out infrequently (i.e. only at the end of application sessions), and in a well ventilated area a suitable distance away from any freshly-laid material.

Are resin bound driveways slippery?

Resin bound surfacing installations are finished with a layer of fine grit to offer good slip resistance.

Does Addaset come with a Product Guarantee?

Our BBA approved Addaset comes with a Product Guarantee of up to 25 Years depending on project type and surface use.
