Facebook← Back to Is resin bound gravel suitable for pools?
If you want your resin bound or pebble flooring to look pristine for years, selecting the right type of binder is essential. Non-yellowing polyurethane is especially valued for its ability to maintain colour and finish, making it an excellent choice for outdoor and light-coloured aggregate surfaces.
Why Does Polyurethane Yellowing Matter?
Ordinary polyurethane resins can gradually develop a yellowish tint when exposed to sunlight and outdoor conditions. This effect is most noticeable on pale stones and white aggregates, where even minor discolouration can be obvious. Non-yellowing polyurethane resists this change, helping surfaces retain their intended look over time and making it ideal for decorative areas such as pool surrounds and patios.
Choosing the Right Resin for Your Application
For surfaces using white or very light aggregates, such as pool surrounds or pathways, a non-yellowing polyurethane binder is highly recommended. It maintains the brightness of the surface and reduces maintenance linked to discolouration. For other coloured aggregates, a quality low-yellowing epoxy can also provide reliable results. If you’re considering a professional solution, the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit includes expert guidance on matching the appropriate resin to your project, ensuring lasting results and easier installation.
When This Matters Most
- You want seamless pool surrounds that stay bright despite constant sun exposure.
- You’re creating a decorative patio or path using white or pale pebbles.
- Maintaining long-term curb appeal with minimal surface care is important to you.
