Resin bound paving involves mixing aggregate with resin and applying it evenly to create a smooth, porous surface. In contrast, resin bonded paving involves spreading a layer of resin onto a surface and then scattering loose aggregate on top, resulting in a textured finish. This gives a non-porous surface, which has a coarser finish and leaves a certain amount of loose stone on the final surface. Resin bound paving is generally more durable and requires less maintenance than resin bonded paving.
