Why Choose Permeable Paving by the Pool?

Poolside areas are prone to heavy splashing and frequent rain in the UK climate, making water management a top priority. A permeable floor prevents water pooling, enhances slip resistance, and can be customised to complement any landscape. Plus, advances in resin technology ensure long-lasting colour, strength and low maintenance.

For bespoke results, Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces and “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit help you achieve unique and enduring finishes tailored for pool areas.

Step-By-Step: Building Permeable Poolside Paving

1. Plan your surface: Clean and prepare the existing substrate, ensuring a firm and even base. Good drainage is essential; if in doubt, consult a specialist.

2. Mix resin and aggregate: Choose the right binder system. For white stones, opt for Polirock to avoid yellowing; use the full Flowstone kit for a complete solution. Add pre-washed pebbles (alone or combined with marble or granite aggregates) for your desired look.

3. Apply your mixture: Spread your resin-bound blend evenly over the desired area. Work quickly for a smooth, consistent height. Use edge trims as required to retain clean lines around pool curves or steps.

4. Allow to cure: Leave your new permeable surface undisturbed for the recommended curing time before allowing foot traffic. Carefully follow all product guidelines for the best result.

Maintenance Tips and Aftercare for Permeable Poolside Floors
