Permeability

Resin bound surfaces are fully permeable, allowing water to drain through naturally and preventing puddles.

What is Permeability?

Resin bound surfacing is a SuDS (Sustainable Drainage System) compliant solution that allows rainwater to drain naturally through the surface into the ground below. This eliminates standing water, reduces flood risk, and means no planning permission is typically required for permeable driveways.

Natural Drainage

Water drains through the porous surface at rates exceeding 800 litres per square metre per minute.

SuDS Compliant

Meets Sustainable Drainage requirements, making planning permission easier to obtain or unnecessary.

Benefits of Permeable Surfacing

  • No standing water or puddles on your driveway
  • Reduces risk of flooding in your area
  • Replenishes groundwater naturally
  • Often exempt from planning permission requirements
  • Environmentally responsible choice
