Understanding how much a given quantity of resin will cover is essential when planning creative or renovation projects. Whether you’re crafting a stunning river table, revamping a countertop, or resurfacing an outdoor space, knowing what 1 kg of resin delivers ensures your project stays on track—and on budget. This page compares key ResinPro options, explains real-life coverage for 1 kg of resin in typical applications, and helps you select the right kit for your needs.

Comparing Resin Coverage: What Does 1 kg Really Do?

The coverage of 1 kg of resin will always depend on the thickness of your pour and the type of project. For shallow coatings, 1 kg goes further across surfaces, while deep pours for resin tables require greater quantities for the same area. Three major application types—tables, worktops, and pebble floors—have unique requirements. Kits such as the “River-Table” – Complete Kit for Creating Your First Epoxy Resin Table and “EpoxyTable 5-Five” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables and Large Projects – Up to 5cm specify maximum pour depths per layer, while the “Stone Effect Collection” – Marble Epoxy Resin Countertop Kit and “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin are designed for thinner layers across wider areas. Always check the technical coverage data, but as a rough guide, 1 kg of resin covers a small river table section at 2 cm thickness, up to 1 m² at 1 mm thickness for worktops, or several paving slabs in a pebble mix floor system.

Visualising Resin Coverage and Real Applications

See real project examples demonstrating how 1 kg of resin translates into finished surfaces or design features. These images show kit applications for tables, countertops, and permeable floors, providing a clear sense of scale and the type of results you can expect from your resin investment.

“River-Table” – Complete Kit for Creating Your First Epoxy Resin Table

This beginner-friendly kit is ideal for those starting their first wood-and-resin table. Each set includes everything you need for formwork, casting, finishing and pigmenting your piece. Resin coverage is calculated for classic table builds—usually 2/3 wood and 1/3 resin—with a recommended resin thickness of up to 2 cm per pour (up to 5 cm with the deep pour option). For reference, creating a 0.5 m² river table at 2 cm thickness would typically require around 8 kg of resin, meaning 1 kg would only cover about 0.06 m² at this depth. For smaller features, such as decorative inlays, one kit can stretch further.

“Stone Effect Collection” – Marble Epoxy Resin Countertop Kit

If you want to transform a kitchen or bathroom with a resilient marble-look surface, this countertop kit provides a calculated amount of self-levelling resin—enough for surfaces from 1 up to 8 m², depending on kit size chosen. At a recommended application thickness of about 1–1.5 mm, each kilogram of resin can cover roughly 1 m², making this option very efficient for flat worktops, islands, and vanity units where ultra-deep coverage isn’t needed. Pigments, dyes, tools, and alcohol for veining are included to achieve professional results.

“Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin

Outdoor surfacing requires precise mixes of resin and aggregate to achieve the desired thickness—typically 2 cm for footpaths and patios, and up to 4 cm for driveways. The “Flowstone” kit supplies resin calculated for the quantity of pebbles and your surface area. As a guide, 1 kg of binder mixed with the recommended stone ratio will layer approximately 0.5 m² at 1 cm thickness, or 0.25 m² at 2 cm thickness. Be sure to match the appropriate resin type (polyurethane for white stone, epoxy for coloured aggregates) to ensure lasting results.

“EpoxyTable 5-Five” – Deep Pour Epoxy Resin for Tables and Large Projects – Up to 5cm

This professional-grade resin is designed for deep pours—perfect for thick, crystal-clear river table projects now so popular in bespoke furniture. For example, a 50 × 70 cm tabletop at 5 cm thickness requires approximately 19.5 kg of resin, highlighting how demanding larger castings are on your material budget. In practice, 1 kg allows you to fill a block (or section) of around 200 cm² at 5 cm—or about a coaster, small decorative feature, or embedded object. Always pour in accordance with recommended maximum layer thickness to avoid overheating and bubbles.

Tips for Calculating Resin Quantities

Always base your calculation on surface area and thickness. For surfaces, multiply the length by width, then multiply by your intended layer depth (in metres) to get volume in litres (1 litre of resin approximates 1 kg for most epoxies). Factor in project-specific needs: river tables need more resin, while coatings and pebble floors stretch your 1 kg further. When in doubt, consult product-specific guidance or the Complete Kits category for detailed kit coverage.
