Premium Permeable Surfacing

    The Surface That Powers Your Home

    Resin bound surfacing is the finishing layer that makes Surface Thermal technology invisible. A beautiful, durable, permeable surface that doubles as a renewable energy collector for driveways, patios, and commercial areas.

    SuDS compliant and engineered to integrate seamlessly with our thermal collector network.

    Why Resin Bound with Surface Thermal?

    Traditional driveways and patios absorb solar energy and waste it. With Surface Thermal collectors installed beneath resin bound surfacing, that energy is captured and converted into heating for your property, all without any visible equipment.

    • Invisible energy collection beneath a premium finish
    • Fully permeable, meeting SuDS regulations without planning permission
    • UV-stable resin resists yellowing and degradation
    • Suitable for vehicular and pedestrian traffic
    • Wide range of colour blends to complement any property
