Choosing the Right Resin Binder for Your Gravel

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
We provide resins suitable for industrial cement floors, self-levelling decorative floors, garage surfaces, permeable pebble flooring, and protective tile coatings.
Are specific weather conditions required for resin application?
Resin application should be performed in dry conditions with moderate temperatures. High humidity, as well as very low or high temperatures, may compromise adhesion and curing.
What is a permeable floor and why choose it?
A permeable floor is specifically designed to let rainwater filter through, eliminating puddles and helping manage surface water runoff. It combines selected granules with resin, allowing water to disperse into the subsoil.
Choosing a permeable surface is ideal for the UK climate, offering both decorative and functional benefits while reducing flood risk.
Which resin binder suits white aggregates best?
For white or light stones, Polirock polyurethane binder is non-yellowing and provides a consistently clear finish even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Can I install resin bound gravel myself?
Yes. Our products are intended for easy DIY and professional use alike. Following the provided step-by-step instructions, most installations can be completed without specialist experience. For larger projects, a cement mixer helps achieve the best results.
How do I choose between epoxy and polyurethane resin?
Choose polyurethane (Polirock) for white aggregates to prevent yellowing. Use an epoxy such as Trasparente for coloured or dark stones, where clarity and UV stability are needed.
Are resin bound gravel systems safe for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. When installed with the correct binder and method, these surfaces are robust and suitable for driveways, paths, pavements, and even car parks.
For added protection, a sealing layer of resin can further extend the surface’s life and resistance.
On what bases can I install resin bound gravel?
Resin-pebble systems can be laid over compacted soil for light traffic. For heavy vehicles, a concrete base or reinforced grid is recommended for optimal strength and stability.
