If you’re a contractor, landscaper, or tradesperson looking to expand your skill set and tap into one of the fastest-growing surfacing trends, resin-bound installation is a game-changer. But while the finished product may look sleek and seamless, achieving high-quality, long-lasting results requires more than just the right materials—it demands proper training, hands-on experience, and a deep understanding of the process.
That’s where Resins ‘R’ Us comes in.
We’re excited to announce our next resin-bound installation training course, taking place on Friday 29th August 2025 at our HQ just outside Norwich in Norfolk. Whether you’re new to resin or looking to refine your technique, this course is designed to equip you with everything you need to become a confident, capable, and certified resin-bound installer.
Why Resin-Bound Surfacing?
Resin-bound driveways, patios, and pathways are rapidly gaining popularity across the UK and for good reason. This innovative surfacing solution offers:
- Durability: Resin-bound surfaces are hard-wearing and resistant to cracking, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
- Permeability: Unlike traditional paving, resin-bound systems allow water to drain through, reducing puddling and helping with flood prevention.
- Aesthetic Appeal: With a wide range of colours and finishes, resin-bound surfaces can be tailored to suit any design vision.
- Low Maintenance: Once installed, these surfaces require minimal upkeep, making them attractive to homeowners and commercial clients alike.
By mastering resin-bound installation, you’ll not only enhance your portfolio but also position yourself to meet growing demand in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
