Resin bound housing development pathways in High Wycombe

Contractors Mackin Construction Ltd came to the SureSet Sales Team to assist with the proposal to have buff-coloured resin bound paving across the site.

The houses were constructed in traditional brick and block construction in terracotta red and an off-white shade. Bronze aggregate was chosen from our Natural Aggregate range which blends perfectly with the neutral shades of the buildings, walls and fencing.

The base was an MOT type 3 gravel which had been well compacted to the specified depth before the resin bound paving was laid on top. The permeable nature of the entire build up means there will be no puddling or standing water as any rainfall will drain straight through to the natural drainage table. Having a 10mm sized aggregate which was used in this project also increases the water flow due to the larger voids between the stones.

SureSet’s installers marked out the order of the paths so that they could all be seamlessly blended into one another to prevent joints where necessary. The aggregate and resin were fully mixed together in a forced action paddle mixer before being transferred to the laying area. Skilled installers then levelled, and hand trowelled the paving to a depth of 31mm to ensure a smooth transition from the edging to the pathways. Once fully compacted, fine sand was sprinkled over the areas to aid with slip resistance.

The new development gives families and young people in Wycombe the opportunity to have long-term, affordable accommodation with practical and accessible surroundings. We have already heard from residents how pleased they are with their new homes.

The quality of the product and installation is crucial for its performance and longevity. It is essential to hire experienced professionals to ensure a successful and lasting result. Do bear in mind that local regulations and requirements may vary.
