Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for outdoor garden paths?
We provide a range of resin products including low-yellowing epoxy for coloured aggregates and non-yellowing polyurethane for white stones. These are available as stand-alone binders or as part of complete installation kits to suit the needs of both DIY and professional garden projects.
What makes a permeable resin-bound floor better for gardens?
A permeable floor allows rainwater to naturally drain through, preventing puddles and reducing flooding risk. It supports healthier plant life and sustainable water management, making it ideal for garden environments.
Can I install a resin-bound pathway myself?
Absolutely. Our products, especially the Flowstone Complete Kit, offer clear and simple application. No specialist skills are needed for standard-sized pathways, though for larger areas, we recommend a cement mixer for easier blending.
How do I select the right resin for coloured versus white pebbles?
For white aggregates, select a non-yellowing polyurethane binder such as Polirock to keep the finish clear. For coloured pebbles or darker stones, opt for a UV-stable epoxy like Trasparente for lasting clarity.
Are these resin systems safe and eco-friendly?
Our resin products are certified non-toxic once cured and are designed for safe use in landscaping. When combined with Washed Pebbles and other natural aggregates, they contribute to more sustainable, environmentally conscious outdoor spaces.
What weather considerations are important when applying resin outdoors?
Proper adhesion and curing require moderate temperatures and low humidity. Avoid applying resin in very cold or hot weather for best results and longer lasting paths.
Can I mix different types or colours of pebbles for a custom effect?
Yes! Our Washed Pebbles can be combined with marble, granite, or other granules to create unique, decorative finishes tailored to suit your garden designs.
