Prepping for Perfection: Installation Highlights
The key to a successful resin bound patio installation lies in meticulous preparation.
Our team began by thoroughly cleaning the existing patio slabs, ensuring a debris-free surface for optimal adhesion.
We then applied SBR, a water-resistant bonding agent, to enhance the connection between the resin and the underlying slabs. This crucial step ensures long-lasting performance and a beautiful, unified finish.
Silver Birch Magic: Mixing and Laying the Resin
With the groundwork laid, it was time to unleash the magic of resin!
We meticulously mixed the BBA UV stable resin in Silver Birch according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Our skilled team then expertly poured and levelled the resin across the entire patio area, ensuring a smooth and seamless application.
Once laid, the resin was allowed to cure under suitable weather conditions, as prescribed by the manufacturer, guaranteeing a durable and stable finish.
