Martearl Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'm having a Resin Bound patio laid and was wondering how far beneath the DPC the surface needs to be? I understand that the Resin Bound is permeable so there should be no issues with puddling, any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfun Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 resin bound is permeable (we're planning to have it for our driveway which is SUDS compliant) assuming you have a permeable sub-base that is. it won't be permeable if you put Type 1 underneath it though surely. I can't answer the DPC question really either but logic dictates that it should be no different to any other patio surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozza Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) I think the regs state 150mm (or two courses) below DPC Edited May 2, 2021 by wozza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I once knew an architect who use 75mm between g/l and dpc if you have a cavity wall there is additional protection , best to slope away from your house/building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
