Facebook← Back to How do I choose permeable paving for modern outdoor spaces?
When designing modern outdoor spaces, choosing the right resin for your permeable paving can make a significant difference to both appearance and longevity. Low-yellowing epoxy is a popular option when vibrant colours are a key priority for your surface.
What is Low-Yellowing Epoxy?
Low-yellowing epoxy is a specially formulated resin system that is designed to resist discolouration under sunlight. Unlike conventional epoxy, these variants are less prone to turning yellow over time when exposed to UV rays, which helps preserve the fresh look of coloured stone and aggregates in permeable paving systems.
Choosing the Right Binder for Outdoor Colour
When working with coloured aggregates, low-yellowing epoxy is an excellent choice as it helps maintain vibrant shades in driveways, paths, and patios. If you are using white stones, such as Carrara gravel, a non-yellowing polyurethane binder is generally recommended for maximum clarity. For most other colours, a low-yellowing epoxy like the one included in the Flowstone Complete Kit provides a good balance of durability and colour retention.
When this Matters: Outdoor Longevity and Looks
Opting for a low-yellowing binder is especially important in sun-exposed areas, or where the visual appeal of coloured stones is central to the design. Ensuring colour durability helps keep your modern outdoor project looking new even as seasons change.
