Facebook← Back to Can resin bound gravel be installed over asphalt?
When laying resin bound gravel over an asphalt driveway, selecting the right resin system is key for long-term performance and appearance. The resins you choose should suit both your aggregate type and the finish you want to achieve.
Choosing the Suitable Resin for Your Aggregate
If you plan to install a resin bound surface over asphalt, your aggregate choice influences which binder to use. For general coloured aggregates, a transparent epoxy like Trasparente Epoxy Binder offers a clear, UV-stable finish suitable for most outdoor driveways and paths. If you’re using white stones and want to avoid yellowing over time, opt for a polyurethane binder such as Polirock, specifically formulated for clarity and resistance to weather conditions.
Complete Kit Solutions for Easy Installation
For a straightforward installation over asphalt, consider a comprehensive kit like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit. These kits include matched resins and aggregates, step-by-step application instructions, and resin guidance to suit the type of stone you select. They’re ideal for UK outdoor climates and make surface renewal easy for driveways and patios alike.
When Resin Choice Matters Most
The right binder is essential if your driveway is exposed to strong sunlight or you want a crisp, stable colour—especially important with white or light-coloured aggregates. Polyurethane resins are preferred for their non-yellowing properties, while epoxy binders are great for enhancing coloured stone finishes and overall durability.
