How to Select the Best Resin for Your Project
The ideal resin product depends largely on your aggregate type (white or coloured stone), surface area, and performance expectations. Here’s how to match these factors:
- If using white or light aggregates—Carrara or natural stones—choose “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for its clear, UV-stable finish.
- For coloured or dark aggregates, “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder ensures the vibrancy of the pebbles remains uncompromised, with a UV-resistant, non-yellowing formula.
- Prefer an all-in-one, simple installation? The “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin provides every material and clear, stepwise guidance for DIY or professional use—options are available for both resin types within the kit, based on your selected aggregate.
Application can be straightforward and cost-effective—each system arrives with instructions suitable for all skill levels. Thorough mixing and proper surface preparation are essential for long-term performance.
Why Permeable Resin Bound Surfaces Are the Modern Choice
Permeable resin bound gravel floors are revolutionising outdoor design, from driveways to patios. These surfaces combine striking curb appeal with practical benefits—draining rainwater, reducing puddles, and helping prevent flood risk. ResinPro’s products make it easier than ever to achieve a durable, custom look without complicated installation or maintenance.
Expert Tips: Achieve Lasting, Attractive Resin Bound Surfaces
For best outcomes, follow these recommendations:
- Customisable finish: A wide selection of aggregate colours and sizes means you can truly personalise the look—ideal for both domestic and public environments.
- Simple application: Each product includes step-by-step instructions—mixing using a cement mixer is recommended for larger projects to ensure even resin distribution and full aggregate encapsulation.
- Avoid pouring resin directly over pre-existing loose gravel—always mix aggregate and resin first for best bonding and longevity.
- For high-traffic or vehicular areas, ensure all surface and sub-surface conditions suit permeable installations. This supports drainage and reduces the risk of standing water.
- Aftercare is refreshingly minimal: keep surfaces clear of debris and moss for enduring good looks and safe usage year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin are available for resin bound gravel projects?
ResinPro offers both polyurethane and epoxy resins for resin bound gravel. The "Polirock" binder is excellent for white or natural aggregates, while "Trasparente" epoxy binder is designed for coloured and dark stones. The "Flowstone" kit conveniently provides both options depending on your chosen finish.
How do I ensure a non-yellowing finish, especially for white stones?
For a non-yellowing finish on white stones, use "Polirock" – Polyurethane Binder. This binder delivers clear, UV-resistant, and lasting results without yellowing—even under strong sunlight.
How should resin be applied to gravel during installation?
Always thoroughly mix the aggregate and resin binder before laying. This ensures full encapsulation, stable bonding, and long-term durability. Direct pouring onto loose gravel is not recommended for proper adherence.
Are these products suitable for driveways and high-traffic areas?
Yes. The "Flowstone" kit, "Polirock", and "Trasparente" all deliver robust, anti-slip, and weather-resistant surfaces for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic when properly installed.
Can I install a resin bound gravel system myself?
Absolutely—step-by-step instructions are included with each product. For small areas, resin and aggregate can be mixed in buckets, while larger spaces benefit from a cement mixer to ensure even distribution and optimal surface finish.
Where can I explore additional colour and finish options?
Visit our full Pebble Floors range for a variety of resin binders, decorative aggregates, and complete installation kits.
What is the maintenance like for resin bound surfaces?
Maintenance is minimal: keep the area clean from leaves and moss, and gently pressure-wash if needed to preserve both the drainage and decorative appeal.
How quickly can I use my new surface after application?
Most resin bound surfaces are walkable within 10 hours and fully cured in around 24 hours, but always follow product-specific instructions for best results.
