Choosing Low-Yellowing Epoxy for Your Resin Floor

Yellowing is a common concern when using epoxy in outdoor flooring projects. Selecting a low-yellowing epoxy binder helps preserve the colour and appearance of your resin-bound surfaces, especially when exposed to sunlight and the British weather.

Why Choose Low-Yellowing Epoxy?

Standard epoxy can become discoloured over time due to exposure to UV rays. Low-yellowing epoxy is formulated to reduce this effect, keeping the original hue of your decorative aggregates for longer. While it’s particularly well-suited for coloured pebbles or stones, for white or very light aggregates, a non-yellowing polyurethane binder is generally recommended for the highest clarity.

Best Practices for Installation

Proper selection and application are key to achieving a lasting, visually appealing floor. Always follow the product manufacturer’s step-by-step guidance for mixing and laying the resin and aggregate. Choosing the right binder—such as the low-yellowing epoxy found in the Flowstone Permeable Floor Kit—will help preserve the vibrancy of your surface. Be sure to apply in suitable weather conditions, avoiding extremes of temperature and humidity to ensure correct curing.

When This Matters

Opt for low-yellowing epoxy where maintaining the original colour of your pebble or stone surface is important, especially in patios, driveways, or footpaths with rich or dark hues exposed to direct sunlight. This helps your installation stay fresh-looking for years, with minimal maintenance required.
