FacebookHow do I choose a resin bound gravel kit?
Find the right resin kit for weatherproof, vibrant outdoor surfaces
Resin bound gravel offers a smart solution for outdoor spaces, combining durability, vibrant appearance, and water permeability. If you’re wondering how to choose a resin bound gravel kit, this guide will walk you through the key differences and the most suitable options from ResinPro’s specialist range. Whether your priority is lasting colour, ease of application, or surface resilience, there’s a kit perfectly tailored for your needs.
Understanding Resin Bound Gravel – Why Product Choice Matters
Not all resin bound gravel kits are created equal. Selecting the right combination of binder and aggregate ensures the best finish for driveways, paths, patios, and decorative urban areas. The choice comes down to the type of aggregate (white or coloured stones), required weather resistance, and aesthetic preferences. With options including complete kits and specialised binders, ResinPro makes it easy to achieve a permeable solution, perfect for the variable UK climate.

For most homeowners and professionals, ResinPro’s main solutions are:

- “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit: Specially formulated for white stones, maximising colour clarity and UV resistance.
- “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits: Designed for coloured and dark aggregates, producing a crystal-clear epoxy resin finish that resists yellowing outdoors.
Choosing your kit should take into account the appearance you desire, the conditions your site faces, and the type of stone you plan to use.

Choosing the Right Kit for Aggregates and Application Goals
If you’re looking to cover an area with both resin and aggregate supplied, the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin provides a versatile option. Simply match the kit size to your project and select your preferred stone colour and granule size. This kit offers both cost-effective renewal of existing surfaces and fresh new permeable installations.
For full control over your aggregate choice and maximum colour integrity on white stones, the “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit is ideal. Its weather-resistant and no yellowing formula keeps light stones bright, making it especially popular for driveways and paths seeking a pristine finish.
When working with coloured, vibrant, or darker aggregates, consider the “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits. Its low viscosity ensures simple application, a customisable finish, and a reliable UV-resistant, non-yellowing surface.
Performance, Permeability, and Safety
All ResinPro options offer distinctive technical benefits, but permeability is a standout feature. Kits and binders are specifically engineered to allow rainwater drainage—making puddle-free driveways and patios possible, even with heavy rainfall. A Flowstone system is particularly valued for its permeable structure and easy maintenance. Meanwhile, Polirock delivers an anti-slip finish for greater safety in both pedestrian and vehicle-access areas, and Trasparente cures quickly, allowing foot traffic in as little as 10 hours.

Mixing techniques differ slightly depending on whether you select a polyurethane binder (optimal for white stones with Polirock) or an epoxy variant (ideal for coloured stones via Trasparente). Temperature and humidity are important factors during installation—review the product details for best results and ensure surfaces are properly prepared for long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
We offer resins suited for industrial cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring, and tile coatings. Each type is matched to specific usage requirements and aggregate compatibility.
What are the advantages of resins compared to other flooring materials?
Resins provide high wear resistance, easy maintenance, greater durability, and waterproofing. They offer a customisable appearance and are designed to handle the diverse UK weather conditions. Many are suitable for DIY application.
Are specific weather conditions required for resin application?
Yes. It’s important to avoid extreme temperatures and high humidity during installation for optimal binding and curing. Always follow the product guide for your chosen kit.
What is a permeable floor and where is it recommended?
A permeable floor is designed for water to pass easily through the structure, making it ideal for outdoor spaces, driveways, pathways, car parks, gardens, public parks, and terraces—essentially any area exposed to frequent rain or standing water.
How long does a complete application take?
Application time depends on kit and ambient temperature. Surfaces are typically walkable after 10–12 hours, with full vehicular strength after about 36–48 hours.
Can I install a permeable floor myself?
Absolutely. All of our kits, from Flowstone to individual binders like Polirock and Trasparente, are designed for ease of use by DIYers as well as professionals. For larger areas, a cement mixer speeds up preparation.
