Choosing the Right Resin for Your Paving Project
Your ideal product will depend on surface type, expected traffic, colour preferences, and the particular finish you desire. Here’s how each of these products can serve unique project goals:
- “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin is well-suited to situations demanding customisable finish, optimal permeable solution, and cost-effective renewal—making it a favourite for residential driveways and public paths. Its flexibility in resin selection ensures long-term colour integrity regardless of your aggregate choice. It’s also supported by step-by-step application guidance, catering to all experience levels.
- “Resinstone” – One-Component Methacrylic Resin for Concrete Floors and Driveways is preferred for superior mechanical resistance, waterproofness, and rapid turnaround. It excels on absorbent concrete surfaces, deeply penetrating with a finish that’s scratch-resistant and robust against chemicals and UV rays.
- “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones is optimal when clarity and non-yellowing performance are needed for white stones. Offering a weather-resistant, anti-slip finish, it safeguards outdoor safety and keeps installations looking pristine over time.
- “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits is best suited to vibrant, coloured, or dark-stone projects requiring a crystal-clear epoxy resin and lasting UV stability. It’s especially safe after curing and designed for effective aggregate coverage without bubbles.

Performance Highlights for Every Application
Each product brings unique strengths. For installations exposed to constant sun, such as white Carrara gravel, Polirock stands out due to its UV-stable, non-yellowing clarity. For renewing existing concrete, Resinstone offers high durability and reduces maintenance demands.
When seeking versatility and decorative impact in outdoor environments, Flowstone covers all bases with permeation, colour choice, and practical application. For coloured surfaces where deep colour retention and easy aggregate mixing are essential, Trasparente provides safe, non-toxic, and visually striking results.
Selecting a Resin System for Long-Term Durability
When outdoor exposure is the main concern, Polirock and Trasparente both resist chemical, UV and weathering effects. Maintenance is simple: sweep and rinse as required, with surfaces retaining colour and grip through changing seasons.
Discuss your environment and intended use with our experts for tailored recommendations—every installation benefits from the right match of resin and aggregate.
Why Is Permeability So Critical in Resin Bound Paving?
Ensuring water can freely drain through your surface prevents puddles, flooding, and rapid degradation. The Flowstone kit is specifically crafted for permeable solutions—combining select pebbles and resin to channel rainwater below the surface and support local environmental management.
Combining this with the right binder for your chosen aggregate—such as Polirock for white stones or Trasparente for coloured options—further ensures durability and minimises yellowing, maintaining the finish over years of exposure.
Not all products are designed for all purposes. Always match your binder and kit to the surface and overall environmental conditions—protecting both appearance and function for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
We offer resins suitable for cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring, and tile coatings—catering for a wide variety of outdoor and indoor paving needs.
When should I use polyurethane versus epoxy binder?
Use polyurethane binders like Polirock for white and natural-tone stones to prevent yellowing and achieve long-lasting clarity. Opt for epoxy binders such as Trasparente for coloured, warm, or dark aggregates to ensure strong adhesion and a deep, bubble-free finish.
What is a permeable floor and why does it matter?
A permeable floor allows rainwater to pass through, preventing water stagnation and helping reduce flooding risks—ideal for driveways and patios especially in the UK. Our Flowstone kit is designed for exactly this purpose.
Are resin bound surfaces suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, when laid with correct materials and ratios, resin and aggregate permeable floors are robust for driveways, footpaths, and car parks—look for products described as durable protection and anti-slip finish such as Polirock and Resinstone.
Can I install a resin bound floor myself?
Yes, many kits—such as Flowstone—are designed for easy use. For larger or more complex jobs, a cement mixer is recommended but straightforward guidance is provided.
Is "Resinstone" suitable for binding gravel?
No, "Resinstone" is intended for absorbent surfaces like concrete floors and should not be used to stabilise loose gravel. Instead, choose a dedicated binder such as Trasparente or Polirock based on your aggregate colour.
How do I decide the correct resin-to-stone ratio?
As a rule of thumb, use approximately 3% resin binder by aggregate weight. For creamy and coloured stones, use Trasparente; for white stones, choose Polirock at a 1:1 mix.
