Can I Add Glitter or Colour to My Resin Floor?

Personalising your resin floor with glitter or tinted colour is a creative way to make your space stand out. With the right materials and approach, you can achieve striking effects that reflect your individual style.

How to Mix Glitter or Colour

For a seamless finish, glitter or colour pigments should be thoroughly mixed into the resin binder before application. Use a compatible binder such as a transparent epoxy—like the “Trasparente” Epoxy Binder—to ensure even distribution and lasting adhesion. Always follow the resin product’s mixing instructions to prevent unevenness or settling.

Choose a fine glitter, such as the Rainbow Holographic Glitter, for a shimmery effect
Add pigments as recommended for full or partial colour coverage
Stir gently but thoroughly to avoid introducing excess air bubbles

Where and When to Add Decorative Elements

Glitter can be used throughout the whole floor for a consistent sparkle, or you can apply it selectively to create feature areas or patterns. For colour variation, blend different shades or apply complimentary coloured pebbles for a more natural look. If using kits such as the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit, you can match the resin to your chosen aggregates for a harmonious finish.

When This Matters

Adding decorative effects is especially valuable in areas where floors are a focal point—such as entrances, living rooms, or creative spaces. Custom finishes not only increase visual appeal but can also highlight zones within open-plan layouts.
