Why Choose Resin-Bound Surfacing?
AceBound UVR resin-bound surfacing is a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative to traditional concrete or pavers. It is the ideal choice for creating stunning driveways, patios and walkways in Whitefish Bay and Mequon.
A key advantage of Ace Resin's resin-bound surfacing is its ability to be laid directly over existing concrete that is cracked and unsightly, saving you the cost and mess of demolition, as long as the base is stable and not heaving. Installed by Palladium Patios using a multi-layer base for maximum durability, this system also offers superior drainage, UV stability and eco-friendly performance.
What is resin-bound surfacing and how does it work?
AceBound UVR is a high-performance resin-bound surfacing system designed to bind decorative natural stone aggregates with a UV-stable, plant-based resin. This creates a strong, attractive and fully permeable finish suitable for:
Driveways
Patios
Walkways & Footpaths
Pool Decks
Unlike traditional concrete or asphalt, AceBound resin surfacing is SuDS-compliant and ADA-accessible. It resists cracking and discoloration over time.
Why should I choose AceBound UVR over concrete or asphalt?
1. Permeable for Superior Drainage
The porous surface allows rainwater to pass directly through, helping prevent puddling, ice buildup and water runoff issues. This is especially useful for properties near Lake Michigan or those with drainage concerns.
2. UV-Stable Finish
The aliphatic resin resists yellowing, fading and degradation from sun exposure. Your driveway or patio stays looking new for longer.
3. Built to Handle Vehicles
With a compressive strength designed for traffic up to 7.5 tons, AceBound UVR works well for driveways and commercial parking applications.
4. Sustainable Materials
Over 50 percent of the resin is plant-based. Combined with locally sourced and recyclable aggregates, this system is one of the most eco-friendly paving options available.
5. Low Maintenance and High Slip Resistance
There is no need for sealing and weed growth is virtually eliminated. The textured finish offers a reliable grip even when wet or icy.
"Permeable pavements can reduce pavement ponding and local flooding by infiltrating stormwater on-site." (EPA, 2021. Stormwater Best Management Practice — Permeable Pavements)
