Best Resin Types for Walls vs. Floors

Which Resin Type Should I Use for Walls vs. Floors?

Selecting the right resin is essential to achieve an attractive and durable finish on both walls and floors. Different surfaces demand unique properties for lasting results.

Resin Choices for Walls

For vertical surfaces like interior walls, Vertical Glass resin stands out. Its formula helps maintain detailed decorative patterns without self-levelling, allowing you creative control. Easy to apply on tiles, cement, or wood, it produces a waterproof, glossy finish that’s perfect for humid areas such as kitchens or bathrooms. Tinting with pigments—including metallics—offers excellent scope for personalisation, making it ideal for showpiece feature walls or commercial interiors seeking a bespoke look.

Resin Solutions for Floors and High-Traffic Areas

Floors and high-traffic zones require a coating that can withstand abrasion, impact, and regular cleaning. Prolux, a two-component polyurethane resin, is designed for these demands. Its durability and resistance to UV rays and yellowing make it suitable for everything from home floors to warehouses. Available in satin or gloss and a variety of colours, Prolux can be adapted for safer, anti-slip finishes—important for busy areas. Proper surface preparation is key, ensuring the base is clean and dry before application.

When This Matters

Choosing your resin carefully really matters if your space experiences frequent use or humidity. Kitchens, showers, hallways, and commercial premises each benefit from using a formulation tailored to their surfaces—enhancing longevity and appearance while reducing ongoing maintenance.
