Our resin surfacing specialists bring extensive experience, having successfully completed hundreds of resin-surfaced patio installations across Cork. We construct patio areas tailored precisely to your specific requirements and site conditions.
What Is Resin Surfacing?
The process involves combining natural aggregates—stone particles typically measuring between 2-6mm—with clear polyurethane resin. This mixture is then carefully applied onto a properly prepared base using professional trowelling techniques. Following the curing period, the result is a robust surface where individual stones remain visible whilst being firmly bonded together, producing an attractive textured finish that offers comfortable underfoot conditions.
The resin-bound method is permeable by design—rainwater passes directly through the surface rather than pooling on top. This characteristic is crucial for meeting drainage regulations and ensuring practical functionality, eliminating standing water after rainfall.
New Resin Patio Installations
For new patio construction projects, we begin by laying a porous concrete foundation. This creates the stable base essential for resin surfacing whilst preserving permeability throughout the complete structure.
Foundation depth varies according to anticipated usage. Residential patios generally require 100mm of porous concrete alongside a suitable sub-base, all constructed with proper drainage gradients despite the surface’s inherent permeability.
Resurfacing Existing Patio With Resin
Established concrete patios that remain structurally sound yet appear weathered present excellent opportunities for resin overlay applications. We meticulously prepare the existing surface—removing contaminants, addressing cracks, and applying primer to guarantee superior adhesion.
Beyond providing exceptional value for resin surfacing, we also offer alternative solutions including porcelain tiled patio installations in Cork, sandstone patios and additional options.
