Can Different Aggregates Be Mixed in Resin Bound Floors?

← Back to Resin Bound Gravel vs Block Paving: Which is Best?

If you’re aiming for a highly personalised resin bound floor, blending different aggregates or pebbles is the key to achieving a distinctive finish. This approach allows endless design options and the ability to tailor landscaping to suit your property’s aesthetic.

Benefits of Mixing Aggregates

Combining washed pebbles with materials like marble, granite, or porphyry granules gives your resin bound floor unique patterns, colour depth, and texture variation. Mixed aggregates not only enhance visual appeal, but can also help your driveway, patio, or pathway harmonise with other elements in your outdoor space.

How to Select and Blend Aggregates

Start by choosing compatible aggregate types and sizes—washed pebbles serve as a versatile base, and you can add decorative granules for accents. When aiming for vibrant results, pair coloured stones with a clear epoxy binder, such as “Trasparente” epoxy binder. For lighter shades or white pebbles, a dedicated polyurethane binder is recommended to maintain clarity and prevent discolouration. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of colours and textures throughout the resin matrix.

Practical Tips for a Unique Finish

Always use pre-washed and dried aggregates to guarantee a strong bond with the resin.
Lay out small sample sections before full application to preview your blend’s look.
Consider how patterns or banding can be introduced by separating different mixes during application.

When a Bespoke Aggregate Mix Matters

If your outdoor surface needs to match existing stonework, landscaping, or a specific design theme, blending different aggregates offers you the creative freedom other paving options cannot match.
