← Back to Which resin should I use for slip resistant surfaces?

Permeable flooring solutions are an increasingly popular choice for slip resistant outdoor spaces. By letting water drain away quickly, these systems help to prevent puddles and contribute to safe, attractive surfaces year-round.
What Is a Permeable Solution?
Permeable surfacing is designed to allow rainwater to pass through the floor, dispersing water into the ground below. This property helps reduce water accumulation and the risks of slips in wet weather. Permeable resin-bound systems, such as pebble and resin combinations, are particularly effective for driveways, patios, and pathways where drainage is a priority.
Choosing and Installing a Permeable Resin System
When selecting a permeable resin, it’s important to choose materials that balance durability, drainage, and aesthetics. Systems like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit blend decorative pebbles with high-quality resin, offering options to match your design and performance needs.
- Resin selection: For white stones, non-yellowing polyurethane is advised to maintain brightness. For coloured aggregates, a low-yellowing epoxy can preserve colour integrity.
- Simple application: Most kits include step-by-step guidance, making DIY installation straightforward. For larger areas, using a cement mixer to combine granules and resin ensures even distribution.
When This Matters Most
Permeable solutions are especially useful for outdoor areas that experience heavy rainfall or are at risk of flooding. Installing permeable resin surfaces helps prevent water pooling, making spaces safer for vehicles and pedestrians alike.
