resin bonded aggregate diy options is this the way forward?
We have been resurfacing with resin bonded stone or aggregate or gravel for over 12 years. During this time we have seen some choice jobs using the resin bonded aggregate diy options.
We may be asked why have we seen these resin bonded aggregate diy options?
- Is it cost?
- Is it the simplicity?
- Is the ease of use?
- Is it the fact that it can be completed in a day?
To be honest I would have difficulty in saying. What I will say however is that 9 out of the 10 cases of resin bonded aggregate diy options we have been called out to view have been because they were not installed correctly. Meaning we were called out to solve the problem of the resin bonded aggregate diy options that had been used.
There are numerous benefits to a resin bonded aggregate surface including
- Quick curing
- Virtually weed free and maintenance free surface when installed
- No need to remove the existing
However, the quick curing is the key in these three points.
An untrained installer or resin bonded aggregate diy options do not work well with these two words.
Whilst it may be possible to do small areas (after a couple of practice runs – but where do you do the practice runs?) but in our experience the sensitive and temperamental qualities of the resin and the weather do not always go well together.
Specialist equipment is required to ensure good even and quality mixing. Correct proportioning of the two parts is required. Knowledge of the required consistency is key as the temperature can have a dramatic effect on the end product. Correct preparation of the sub base is also key.
