Rawlings Resin Bound Surfacing


Rawlings Resin Bound Surfacing uses a clear resin to bind different coloured aggregates, imported marble or recycled glass chippings. Bound together it is laid down as a hardwearing surface. The material can be used to overlay existing tarmac, concrete or other stable substrates and is also ideal for new construction projects.

Rawlings Resin Bound Surfacing offers a number of advantages:

  • There are no loose stones - the decorative aggregate can't be scattered or kicked about. It's firmly and permanently bound.
  • It's full-thickness system, at least 10mm thick

  • It has a long lifespan as the resin and the aggregates are specially selected for durability.
  
  • It can be laid very quickly, a 2 man gang can lay 30m or more per hour and, with good weather, a gang
    of 5 men would expect to cover 350m in a single day.

  • It can be used to overlay existing 'tired-looking' surfaces.

  • Unique designs, logos and patterns are easily incorporated.

  • There's a huge choice of aggregates available including rounded or crushed stone and tumbled coloured glass. Aggregates can be 'blended' to produce a particular shade or tone as required.

  • The finished surface is UV stable and is not affected by oil or fuel spillages.

  • Once set, the wearing course exhibits some flexibility enabling it to resist cracking.

  • It's wheelchair and pushchair friendly.

Construction

    construction-crosssection
Resin bound paving is a self-contained layer that is laid over a suitable base. The basic premise is that the selected aggregates are mixed together with the resins and then spread, levelled and compacted over an existing surface to create a decorative surface that is exceptioanlly hard-wearing.
     

The Base or Substrate

   base-crosssection
    

This needs to be firm and sound, and because resin-bound surfacing is from 12mm thick, there needs to be some form of 'edge restraint' to contain the surfacing. the base, or substrate, is essential in providing the strength and load-bearing capacity of the pavement, and so a number of typical bases are used, depending on the planning application.

     

For Pedestrian and low-speed occasional traffic use (driveways) a minimum 50mm compacted thickness of 14mm dense or close-graded bitmac is the preferred substrate. This substrate will need to be laid over a prepared sub-base. For heavier applications, particularly for vehicle overrun areas or tree pits, we will be able to recommend a suitable base.

   

This substrate is laid in advance. The usual standards for bitmac construction are followed and the completed substrate should be firm and laid to levels within the accepted tolerances for the type of substrate material that is used.

     

Recycling and materials

Recycling is a part of everyday life and new legislation increasingly demands new solutions to the recycling issue. With our new product you can use:- Recycled glass, Crushed CD's, Computers, Track ballast, Wood chips, Bathroom ceramics etc. Doesn't affect new planning laws as it is a porous material.

     
Edgings

Resin bound surface courses are generally at least 10mm thick therefore some form of edge restraint becomes essential. It may be necessary to install a small edging-like strip or feature edging, to provide a working edge for the surfacing

     
Designs

Our resin bound surfacing allows intricate designs and motifs to be created within the pavement. A small edging is normally used to delineate he areas of different colour, and then each colour is mixed and prepared, before being applied, one colour at a time, until your chosen design is completed.

  • Create patterns, curves, circles, letters and numbers
  • Design and lay shapes using a stencil or flexible aluminium edging.
  • Achieve larger shapes with zones of coloured paving.
  • Break up large areas with different shapes and colours.
