Choosing the right resin type is essential for achieving a durable, attractive, and permeable outdoor surface. The resin you select influences not only the longevity of your floor but also its appearance and suitability for specific aggregates.
Main Resin Types for Permeable Surfaces
For outdoor permeable floors using pebbles or stone, two main resin types are recommended:
- Non-yellowing polyurethane resin: Ideal when using light-coloured or white aggregates, as it helps preserve a crisp, clear look over time. This option ensures the floor maintains its aesthetic quality, especially in sun-exposed areas.
- Low-yellowing epoxy resin: Best suited for coloured stones, this resin provides resilience and retains colour integrity, making it a practical choice for most general-purpose permeable floors.
Considerations When Selecting Resin
When choosing between polyurethane and epoxy resin binders, consider the type of aggregate, exposure to sunlight, and the desired finished look. White marble, for instance, pairs best with non-yellowing polyurethane, while most natural or dark-coloured pebbles work well with low-yellowing epoxy. For quick, all-in-one solutions, a product like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit includes guidance and materials tailored to aggregate choice.
When Resin Choice Matters Most
Your resin decision makes a significant difference for driveways, patios, and any area exposed to sun or frequent rain. Using the correct binder can prevent discolouration and surface degradation, helping to keep your permeable floor functional and visually appealing year-round.
