About The PERMABOUND Recessed Manhole Cover
The PERMABOUND manhole cover is a purpose-designed solution for achieving a seamless finish on resin bound gravel surfaces. Manufactured and supplied by PERMABOUND, this innovative cover is ideal for installers seeking a durable, discreet and easy-to-install option that integrates effortlessly with resin installations. Unlike traditional alternatives with significant depths which excess material, this 18mm-deep cover reduces cost, labour and installation time – all without compromising on performance or appearance.
Made using high-quality stainless steel, this resin bound manhole cover offers excellent durability, making it suitable for a wide range of resin bound applications including driveways pathways, patios and more. The 5mm perforated holes allow water to drain efficiently from the recessed area, supporting the natural permeability of resin bound surfaces and helping to prevent moisture buildup. Designed to sit directly over existing manhole covers, it significantly reduces excavation requirements and is available in three sizes to suit the needs of each project.
For the best results and adhesion, we recommend priming the recess before applying resin using PERMAPRIME.
While the covers are structurally robust and capable of supporting a car’s weight when properly installed over an existing cover, the recessed section does not allow for the full 18mm depth of resin needed to sustain ongoing vehicular loads. As such, we do not recommend their use in areas exposed to regular vehicle traffic.
