← Back to How do I choose permeable paving for terraces?

When choosing a resin-bound paving system for terraces, it’s important to consider not only permeability and durability but also how well the resin binder maintains the appearance of your surface over time. Low-yellowing epoxy is ideal for coloured or natural-tone stone finishes, helping to preserve the intended look even when exposed to sunlight.
Why Choose a Low-yellowing Epoxy?
Standard epoxy resins can gradually discolour, especially when exposed to UV rays outdoors. Low-yellowing options are specifically formulated to resist this change, making them well suited for terraces where you want to keep the original tones of your pebble or stone mix. For white stones, a specialised polyurethane binder is typically suggested, but for coloured and natural aggregates, a low-yellowing epoxy helps keep colours vibrant and fresh-looking for longer.
Best Uses and Application Tips
Low-yellowing epoxy resins are used as binders in permeable pebble flooring. They allow water to drain through, reducing the risk of puddles while holding your decorative stones in place. Kits like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit include guidance on resin selection based on aggregate colour. When installing, it’s important to mix aggregates and resin thoroughly and to follow application recommendations for your terrace’s climate and surface condition. Careful surface preparation and attention to mixing ratios will help you achieve a strong, attractive result.
When Low-yellowing Epoxy Matters Most
- Outdoor terraces with coloured or mixed-tone stones
- Areas exposed to regular sunlight
- Paving where long-term appearance is a priority
If you are planning a terrace with a distinctive, vibrant stone look, opting for low-yellowing epoxy prevents unintentional yellowing or fading over time.
