The Benefits of Bound Surfaces

With their head office still in Newquay, Oltco has carefully managed a path of growth by offering solutions that manage to tick an array of boxes. 

Oltco’s bespoke Resin Bound surfaces not only enhance a property aesthetically, but they also offer many practical benefits. Composed of resin along with stone aggregates (with recycled waste plastic being used in their Recycle Bound product), driveways, patios and paths can all benefit from the application of either. A big advantage of Resin Bound is its low maintenance requirement. Cleaning is extremely easy – a sweep with a stiff bristle brush and an occasional jet wash is all that is needed. And thanks to the permeable nature of the surface, which reduces water pooling, the likelihood of weed growth is minimised, meaning even less upkeep for homeowners. More importantly Resin Bound surfaces function as a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS), allowing water to soak through the surface similarly to how it would in soil, thus having less impact upon local soakaway systems and surrounding areas.

Resin Bound surfaces involve the combination of stone and resin prior to installation, resulting in a strong, smooth and anti-slip surface. In contrast, Resin Bonded surfaces have a rough and uneven texture to create the illusion of loose gravel and do not offer the environmental benefits of Resin Bound – they are neither permeable nor frost resistant.

The installation process itself is swift and stress-free for homeowners – no planning permission is required and depending on the area size, it can be installed in just one day.

Oltco’s innovative Recycle Bound product includes recycled waste plastic, offering a unique take on Resin Bound. This world-first, award-winning product was developed to address the growing global issue of waste plastic, with each square metre of Recycle Bound containing the equivalent of three thousand plastic straws.

With such confidence in their products, Oltco offers a guarantee of 15-20 years. A single phone call to the experts in Newquay is all it takes to start the journey to transforming a home with Oltco’s products.
