← Back to How to furnish a terrace with resin cabinets?

Installing resin cabinets on your terrace can add a modern, practical touch to your outdoor space. Avoiding a few common installation mistakes will ensure their longevity and performance, especially in the UK climate.
Preparing the Surface Properly
One of the most frequent mistakes is neglecting thorough surface preparation before installing resin cabinets. Ensure the terrace area is clean, dry, and level. If installing over a substrate such as resin-bound flooring, like those provided in the Flowstone Complete Kit, make sure it is fully cured and stable. Skipping these steps can cause alignment problems and reduce the life of the installation.
Don’t Skip Waterproofing and Curing
Outdoor terraces are exposed to rain and damp, so waterproofing is crucial. Use appropriate sealants and avoid loading cabinets until all resin-based surfaces and adhesives have had time to fully cure, as recommended by the product manufacturer. Rushing this step could result in warping, bonding failure, or decreased durability.
Practical Tips for Lasting Results
- Check weather forecasts — rain or high humidity can affect curing and adhesion.
- Follow manufacturer instructions for each product, including recommended wait times.
- For resin surfaces, choose a formulation designed for outdoor use, with UV resistance if required.
