Build a Thriving Business with Rhino Surfaces – The Resin Bound Experts
Founded in 2008, Rhino Surfaces quickly became the go-to company for resin bound installations in Northampton, earning a reputation for quality, reliability, customer service and expert workmanship. Operating as an independent installer, weʼre now offering ambitious individuals the opportunity to replicate our success and build their own thriving business as part of our full-service resin bound franchise programme.
The construction industry, particularly in the domestic market, often struggles with poor customer service and a lack of adherence to consumer laws. At Rhino Surfaces, we do things differently.
We are accredited by the Governmentʼs Trading Standards ‘Buy With Confidenceʼ scheme—and we are the only resin bound franchise business to receive this recognition.
This accreditation:
✅ Provides customers with peace of mind.
✅ Establishes high standards for our franchisees.
✅ Ensures compliance with consumer law—protecting both you and your customers.
As a Rhino franchisee, youʼll uphold these high standards while building a trusted, customer-focused business.
A Sustainable Surfacing Solution
At Rhino Surfaces, we are committed to helping the planet, one surface at a time.
Unlike traditional cement-based products, our resin is plant-derived, contributing to CO₂ absorption rather than emissions.
Our bases are made from recycled tyres, preventing waste reaching landfill. Additionally, our surfaces are fully SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliant, meaning they help manage surface water, reducing the risk of urban flooding.
By joining Rhino, youʼre not just building a business—youʼre offering a sustainable, environmentally responsible solution.
Why Resin Bound Surfaces? A High-Demand Product
Resin bound surfaces have gained widespread popularity in the UK due to their many advantages over traditional materials:
✅ Permeable – Helps manage the risk of urban flooding.
✅ Weed-resistant – Low maintenance for homeowners.
✅ Freeze-thaw resistant – Long-lasting durability.
✅ Fade-resistant – Natural stone means no artificial colours that wear away.
However, correct installation is key. Thatʼs where Rhinoʼs training and support come in.
With over 17 years of installation experience, weʼve encountered and solved every challenge in resin bound installation. This knowledge has been distilled into the most extensive 8 day full-service training and support programme available in the UK.
