The Ultimate Guide to Resin Bound DIY Kits: Durable, Easy, and Professional Results

If you are considering upgrading your outdoor spaces, Resin Bound DIY Kits offer an outstanding solution that combines durability, style, and ease of installation. Since 2009, SUDwell has been a trusted name in the resin driveway and DIY paving market, supplying over 100,000m² of high-quality resin bound surfaces to satisfied customers across the UK.

What Are Resin Bound DIY Kits?

Resin Bound DIY KITS are complete packages that include all the materials needed to create a smooth, attractive, and highly durable resin bound surface. These kits typically contain natural stone aggregate mixed with a specialist polyurethane resin, which when combined, create a seamless, porous surface perfect for driveways, paths, patios, and other outdoor areas.

The porous nature of resin bound surfaces allows water to drain through efficiently, reducing puddling and improving safety. The kits are designed to be user-friendly, allowing DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results without needing expensive specialist equipment.

Why Choose SUDwell Resin Bound DIY Kits?

SUDwell’s Resin Bound DIY Kits are market leaders due to their exceptional quality and performance. The resin system, SUDwell P.U 4844/A, holds the highest certified crack resistance under UKAS Certification, tested to the rigorous TRL176 BBA standard. This means that SUDwell kits deliver unmatched strength and resilience, making them perfect for high-traffic areas such as driveways.

Additionally, the resin bound surface has a zero erosion index, meaning it resists wear and tear far better than many traditional paving options. Whether you want to create a stylish patio or a practical driveway, SUDwell's kits give you confidence that your investment will last for years.

Simple Installation With Precise Coverage

One of the key benefits of Resin Bound DIY Kits is their ease of use. SUDwell’s kits come pre-measured to cover exactly 1m² at up to 15mm depth for paths and patios, or 0.8m² at up to 18mm depth for driveways. This clarity helps you calculate how many kits you need to order without confusion or waste.

For example, a 30m² driveway would require 38 kits (30 ÷ 0.8 = 37.5 kits, rounded up). We recommend marking out your project area in 1m² or 0.8m² sections to get the best results from each kit. On larger projects, ordering a few extra kits is wise to account for any unforeseen circumstances or variations in sub-base conditions.

Tips for Best Results

To ensure your Resin Bound DIY Kits installation goes smoothly, follow these simple tips:

• Store the kits in a dry place away from direct sunlight before use to keep the resin in optimum condition.

• Prepare the sub-base carefully, ensuring it is solid, clean, and well-drained.

• Work in manageable sections, mixing and laying the resin bound mix consistently.

• Follow the recommended depth guidelines: 15mm for paths and patios, 18mm for driveways.

• Consider weather conditions, avoiding installation during heavy rain or extreme temperatures.

By following these recommendations, you can achieve a flawless finish that rivals professional installations.
