Our resin surfacing experts have successfully completed hundreds of resin-surfaced patio installations across the region, tailoring each project to match your specific needs in Swords.
What Is Resin Surfacing?
The process involves blending natural aggregates—usually stone particles measuring between 2-6mm—with transparent polyurethane resin. We then apply this mixture onto a properly prepared base using specialist trowels. After the curing period finishes, you’re left with a robust surface where individual stones remain beautifully visible yet firmly locked together, producing an appealing textured finish that feels pleasant beneath your feet.
The resin-bound method is permeable by design—rainwater passes straight through the surface instead of pooling on top. This characteristic proves vital for meeting drainage requirements and ensuring practical performance, meaning you won’t find yourself dealing with standing water after a downpour.
New Resin Patio Installations
For brand new patios, our approach begins with laying a porous concrete foundation. This creates the stable base that resin surfacing demands whilst preserving permeability right through the complete structure.
The thickness varies according to how you’ll use the space. Patios generally need 100mm of porous concrete alongside a suitable sub-base, all constructed with proper gradients to manage drainage, despite the surface being permeable throughout.
Resurfacing Existing Patio With Resin
Older concrete patios that remain structurally solid yet appear tired make perfect candidates for resin overlay treatments. Our team meticulously prepares the existing surface—removing all debris, fixing any cracks, and applying primer to guarantee excellent adhesion.
Beyond providing exceptional value for resin surfacing, we also supply alternatives including porcelain tiled patio installations in Swords, sandstone patios and additional options.
