The Smarter Base for Resin-Bound Surfacing

Install Resin Over Existing Surfaces Without Cracking or Compromise

Traditionally, resin-bound installations required full excavation, even over solid surfaces like block paving, concrete, or tiles. Why? Because laying resin directly onto these surfaces risked reflective cracking, movement, and debonding, leading to costly repairs or full replacement.

Not anymore.

Ace ResiMesh eliminates the need for digging out structurally sound bases, making resin-bound surfacing faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

Originally engineered for high-stress environments like motorways, Ace ResiMesh is a high-performance composite of glass fibre and polypropylene, reimagined for resin-bound surfacing. It’s designed to bridge surface movement, reduce cracking, and provide a stable, long-lasting base layer.

The Benefits of ResiMesh

Here’s why more installers and property owners are choosing ResiMesh as the smarter foundation for resin-bound surfacing:

  • Overlay directly onto existing surfaces – saving time, labour, and cost
  • Reinforces joints and bridges surface movement to protect the finished surface.
  • Reduces the risk of cracking, delamination, or early failure.
  • Install more jobs in less time – ideal for both domestic and commercial projects.
  • SUDS compatible, maintaining permeability in compliant resin systems.
  • Ideal for occupied homes or busy commercial sites where digging out is disruptive or impractical.

How ResiMesh Works

ResiMesh is installed directly onto a structurally sound surface — such as concrete, block paving, or tiles — and acts as a reinforcement layer beneath the resin bound system.

Bridges Cracks & Joints

The mesh spans across hairline cracks, expansion joints, and minor imperfections, preventing reflective cracking from transferring through to the resin surface.

By allowing a small amount of flex, ResiMesh accommodates minor shifts or thermal expansion in the underlying base—essential for overlays on older substrates like block paving or concrete.

ResiMesh disperses pressure more evenly across the surface, helping to reduce stress points and prolong the life of the resin finish.

Ace ResiMesh acts as a decoupling layer when laid over existing surfaces like concrete or tarmac. It helps absorb movement in the base, preventing reflective cracks from appearing in the resin bound finish. This added flexibility ensures a longer-lasting, seamless surface — ideal for overlays and refurbishments.

Applications for ResiMesh

IMG_0273

ResiMesh is the go-to solution for installers working on resin-bound projects where the existing base is solid but flawed. It’s ideal when you want to avoid the time, mess, and cost of excavation without compromising the quality of the finished surface.

Common Applications Include

Driveways

Perfect for upgrading tired block paving or concrete drives without digging them out. ResiMesh strengthens the base and prevents cracking, even under vehicle loads.

Quickly resurface cracked or uneven paths and patios to create smooth, permeable walkways without the need for disruptive groundwork.

Ideal for busy locations where minimal downtime is essential. Installers can lay resin over structurally sound bases with confidence that it will last.

Whether it’s a tight deadline or restricted site access, ResiMesh helps reduce project timelines and eliminate the need for heavy machinery or plant hire.

Install Directly onto Type 1 or Type 3 – No Concrete or Tarmac Needed

With Ace ResiMesh, you can install your resin bound surface directly onto a well-compacted granular base, such as Type 1 or Type 3, perfect for foot traffic areas. That means no need for costly concrete or tarmac underneath, making it an ideal solution for paths, patios, and pool decks.

This approach not only saves time and materials, but also reduces installation costs while maintaining strength and permeability. It’s a smart, efficient way to deliver a high-quality finish without the extra layers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I lay resin bound surfacing directly onto concrete or block paving?

Not usually — unless you’re using ResiMesh. Laying resin directly onto concrete or block paving without reinforcement can lead to reflective cracking, movement, and debonding. ResiMesh bridges these weaknesses, allowing you to overlay stable existing surfaces confidently.

ResiMesh can be installed over structurally sound:

  • Block paving

  • Concrete

  • Tiled surfaces

  • Asphalt

  • Granular Type 1 or Type 3 base, when being used for foot traffic, negating the requirement for a structural base.

  • Other solid, stable sub-bases

It is not suitable for use over unstable or crumbling bases that require full replacement.

Yes – when used as part of a full SUDS-compliant resin system, ResiMesh maintains permeability and won’t compromise drainage performance.

ResiMesh is laid directly onto the existing base. It’s lightweight, easy to cut, and quick to position on site.
