And key to this simplicity is the way that EasiHold is applied. Unlike conventional resin bound surfacing, the binder component, ie, the resin, is not pre-mixed with the selected aggregate, so there is no requirement of a forced action mixer, no need for messy cleaning solvents, no demand for specialist rakes, lutes, floats and spreaders. It’s so simple it can be used by homeowners, DIYers and gardeners with no complicated training. Zen-style garden - ideal candidate for EasiHold In all cases surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free from any oil or contaminants, the gravel should also be completely dry before being mixed with the resin.
When refurbishing or enhancing an area, apply resin binder to a base surface, such as concrete. Then scatter a layer of selected natural aggregate over wet resin. The next step will be to install a suitable perimeter edging for your driveway. After this, a hardcore base will be installed at a minimum depth of 150mm. For a fully permeable driveway, we recommend a MOT type 3 subbase. This is a decorative surface type which can be supplied in a wide range of natural stones. It’s also referred to as resin bound aggregate. We understand the desire of some of our customers to undertake the project themselves while saving a bit of money in the process. So, if you have the ability and wish to lay your own driveway or paving, we have the DIY kits to help you. However, because we scatter the stones onto a layer of glue on top of the base surface, this specification is non-porous.Gravel Bonding Resin is a two part epoxy resin specifically formulated for use as an aggregate bonding material for driveways and paths Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Wear respiratory protection. Using 2-3 coats will provide a surface that is suitable for light/medium usage. How long will it last? Use dry sand, dry chemical or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish. Store in a well-ventilated place away from heat sources. Keep container tightly closed.
Aggregates Decorative aggregates are a little different from what is classed as wet aggregates. The stone is tumbled and then graded for size. Each mix uses a combination for 2-5mm stone and 1-3mm stone.Read more… This is classed as a low-density aggregate. The aggregate is washed so that it’s clean and then kiln dried before being bagged at 25kg weight. It’s important that the stone is completely dry, as moisture will react with the resin and will result in “micro-foaming” (clouding). Never use aggregate that has visible water droplets in the bag. Aggregates vary in shape depending on the colour. Read less… In the case of resin bonded systems, gravel is distributed over a layer of pre-applied resin before being left to set.Popular uses for this type of paving include domestic driveways, gardens, walkways and public attractions. These are generally places where loose stones are not desirable. R esin Bound –Add the gravel and mixed resin at a ratio of1 part mixed material to 8parts gravel ina mechanical mixer for 3-5 minutes.When fully mixed empty the contents into abarrow and apply to the area. Rake, tampand trowel smooth as required. Carry out jet wash twice a year to prevent build-up of stains and dirt which could eventually cause discolouration and loss of beauty. At SGS, we only use the highest quality resin and aggregate available which had minimal colour change once laid, meaning you have a superior looking surface all year round.
For a more controlled application and better results, a pressurised sprayer can be used instead of a watering can. If using a pressurised sprayer, evenly coat your stones at the rate of approximately 0.5 litres per square metre and try to avoid run-off. Sprayers can be flushed with white spirit between GravelHold uses which will help to remove any residue and prevent the binder from curing inside the sprayer.Our pour on resin is formulated to securly hold the gravel in place whilst retaining a natural look. Pour on gravel binder is a technique that uses resin to bind loose stones and gravel; once applied, the surface becomes hard, smooth, and easy to walk on. Resin Bonded and Resin Bound are two types of resin driveway surfacing that are often used for driveways and other outdoor surfaces. They are spelt almost identically, so it’s easy to get confused, but they have some key differences. Gravel footpaths (in gardens, around paving slabs or dustbin store areas etc.) that are likely to experience regular foot traffic should be installed using only the hand mix and trowel method to achieve the best results. When laying your subbase, it is important that it is laid at the right depth. This depth is dependent on the type of base being laid. You can follow the below suggestion from our experts:
