Kits Vs Individual Components: Buying Resin Aggregate Solutions

Deciding whether to buy a complete resin bound paving kit or select individual aggregates and resins separately can shape your installation experience and finished look. The right approach depends on your familiarity with the process and your project goals.

The Convenience of Resin Bound Kits

For those new to resin bound paving, all-in-one kits such as the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit offer a straightforward way to get started. These kits typically include proportioned resin and aggregate quantities, saving you the guesswork of sourcing materials individually. Clear instructions and guidance on resin selection help ensure the system works together smoothly, reducing the likelihood of mismatched components or costly errors.

Customising with Individual Components

If you have experience with laying resin bound surfaces or want a unique design, purchasing pebbles and resin separately allows far more customisation. You can source specialised aggregates like Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors in your preferred colour and size, and pair them with the right binder—such as a non-yellowing polyurethane for white stones or an epoxy suitable for coloured aggregates. This approach is often preferred when a bespoke finish or a specific aggregate blend is desired.

When This Matters Most

Opting for a complete kit is especially helpful for driveways, patios, or footpaths where reliability and ease of application are priorities. However, for intricate garden borders or bespoke decorative detailing, selecting aggregates and binders individually offers greater creative freedom. Whichever you choose, make sure aggregates and resins are compatible and suited to outdoor, permeable applications.
