Top reasons to choose resin bound for commercial projects in the UK

28.07.2025

When it comes to surfacing solutions for commercial spaces, the demands are high: durability, safety, appearance, and low maintenance are all essential. That’s why more businesses, developers, and local authorities across the UK are choosing resin bound surfaces for their commercial projects. At Premier Surfacing, we’ve seen first-hand how resin bound systems deliver on all fronts. Here are the top reasons why it’s a smart choice for your next commercial venture…

1. A Sleek, Professional Appearance

First impressions matter. Whether it’s a business park, public space, or retail complex, the external environment should reflect quality and professionalism. Resin bound surfaces offer a clean, seamless finish with a wide selection of colours and aggregate blends to match your branding or architectural style. The result is a smart, contemporary surface that enhances kerb appeal and creates a positive visual impact.

2. Permeable and SUDS Compliant

Resin bound systems are fully permeable, meaning water drains through the surface and into the ground below – a key requirement under Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) legislation in the UK. This not only helps reduce the risk of surface water flooding but also avoids the need for planning permission in many cases.

3. Durable Under Heavy Use

Commercial environments often experience high footfall, vehicle traffic, or exposure to the elements. Resin bound surfaces are extremely hard-wearing and resistant to cracking, deformation and erosion, making them ideal for car parks, pathways, cycle routes, and more. With proper installation and maintenance, they provide excellent long-term performance.

4. Low Maintenance

Time and money spent on maintenance can quickly add up, but resin bound surfaces are virtually maintenance-free. They resist weed growth, are easy to clean, and retain their colour and finish for years. Occasional power washing is typically all that’s needed to keep them looking fresh.

5. Slip Resistant and Safe

For any commercial space, safety is paramount. Resin bound surfaces are naturally slip-resistant, even when wet, making them an ideal option for schools, hospitals, housing developments, and public walkways. Additives can also be introduced to increase grip in areas where additional traction is needed.

6. Eco-Friendly Solution

Resin bound driveways are an environmentally friendly surfacing option. The permeable design helps reduce water run-off, and many of the aggregates used are natural or recycled materials. This makes it an attractive solution for organisations aiming to reduce their environmental impact.
