← Back to How do you cut resin paving?

Cutting resin paving is sometimes necessary for installations, repairs or modifications, but the process generates dust and debris that can carry health risks if proper safety steps are not taken. Here’s how to work responsibly and stay protected.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Always prioritise your safety by wearing appropriate PPE. At a minimum, use impact-resistant eye protection to guard against flying particles, sturdy gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges, and a dust mask rated for fine particles. If you are working for extended periods or in confined spaces, consider a higher-grade respirator for added respiratory protection.
- Safety glasses: Prevents eye injuries from debris.
- Gloves: Reduces risk of cuts or abrasions.
- Dust mask: Minimises inhalation of fine dust produced by cutting.
Workspace and Ventilation
Cuts should always be made in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors or with sufficient air movement. Close doors to prevent dust spreading to other spaces and lay down dust sheets if working near plants or furnishings. Keep bystanders, especially children and pets, safely away from your work zone.
Smart Cutting Practices
Before starting, check your tools to make sure they are in good condition and suited to resin surfaces. Consider using wet cutting methods when possible to reduce airborne dust. Take regular breaks to clear dust from your workspace and keep the area tidy. For larger paving projects using systems like the Flowstone Complete Kit, review all manufacturer guidance as additional product-specific precautions may apply.
