This guide explores industry-leading products designed to help you make the right choice for a lasting, reliable, and eco-friendly result.
Comparison of Permeable Flooring Products

Real-World Performance of Permeable Surfaces
Modern resin-bound permeable flooring demonstrates superior flood control and durability. Homeowners regularly report less maintenance and improved kerb appeal when upgrading to solutions such as the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin. These products are developed for the UK climate, combining strength and consistent performance in both domestic and public driveways.
Why Choose Permeable Flooring for Car Entrances?
Permeable flooring systems are engineered to let rainwater pass through the surface and disperse into the underlying substrate, preventing water pooling and reducing the risk of surface cracking or subsidence. For car entrances, this delivers safer access, reduces freeze-thaw hazards, and limits maintenance costs.
Resin-bound and pebble flooring solutions from ResinPro combine the best features of traditional paving and cutting-edge drainage technology, ensuring your driveway or entrance stays robust and visually appealing all year round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
We offer resins for industrial cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring and tile coatings.
What is a permeable floor?
A permeable floor is a surface designed to allow rainwater to pass through it, preventing water stagnation and reducing the risk of flooding. It is made of a special mix of granules and resin, allowing optimal water dispersion into the subsoil.
Are permeable floors suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, granule and resin permeable floors are strong and suitable for pedestrian areas, driveways and car parks, provided appropriate materials and installation techniques are used.
Can I install a permeable floor myself?
Absolutely. Application is simple and quick and does not require specific skills. For large surfaces, using a cement mixer is recommended to make mixing granules and resin easier.
What are washed pebbles for permeable floors commonly used for?
They are commonly used to create durable and permeable outdoor surfaces such as patios, pathways, and garden areas with resin binder systems.
How do I choose between a full kit and separate pebbles?
If you want an all-in-one solution with full guidance, choose the complete kit. For custom designs or if you already have resin binder, opt for washed pebbles.
Are these solutions suitable for all driveways?
Yes, both the Flowstone kit and washed pebbles can be used for most driveways, provided the base is stable and prepared according to product instructions.
