Planning a resin flooring project for a 70 square metre area requires understanding both the coverage rates of your chosen resin and the type of surface you want to achieve. This page is ideal for homeowners, installers and professionals seeking the right resin system—whether creating a decorative permeable floor, laying a classic epoxy-bound surface or protecting high-traffic zones. Here you will find essential product guidance and tips to ensure you order the correct quantities and select the best product for your application.

Resin Coverage and Comparison for 70 m2

The amount of resin required depends on the chosen system, desired thickness, substrate condition and aggregate type. For pebble-bound permeable systems, resin is typically calculated as a weight percentage of the stone, while liquid applications such as primers or protective coatings are based on g/m2 coverage rates. Here is a quick overview of resin types suitable for 70 sqm projects:

For each solution, ensure you multiply the advised coverage or ratio by 70 for precise requirements. Choosing between epoxy and polyurethane depends on aggregate colour, desired finish and exposure to UV or traffic.

Reference charts and step-by-step images are available for every resin system to help you calculate coverage per square metre and visualise the ideal mix for your chosen floor type.

Flowstone: Permeable Floor Kit for Outdoor Areas

The Flowstone – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin is ideal for transforming patios, driveways and footpaths with a robust, free-draining system. Each kit contains a calibrated amount of specialist resin and aggregate for your chosen area, so for 70 sq m simply select the kit size or combine smaller packs to suit. For white or clear aggregates, select the non-yellowing polyurethane option; for coloured stones, the low-yellowing epoxy binder is specified. The kit provides full instructions and support on mix ratios, helping to avoid wastage and achieve a long-lasting finish.

  • Permeable solution: Designed to prevent puddles and surface flooding by allowing excellent water drainage.
  • Cost-effective renewal: Suitable for both upgrades and new installations with all materials included.
  • Customisable finish: Wide selection of granule colours and sizes for bespoke outdoor aesthetics.
  • Simple application: Comes with mix instructions and is suitable for DIY or professional use.
  • Please note: Aggregates and resin may arrive separately depending on supply logistics.

Trasparente: Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles

When working with colourful or natural-tone aggregates, the Trasparente – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits is recommended. Typically, 3% resin by aggregate weight is used; therefore for 70 sq m at a 2 cm thickness (standard for driveways), you can estimate total aggregate and resin needs by multiplying by the area and layer thickness. Its crystal-clear, UV-stable formula ensures your floor’s vibrant colours remain prominent. A fully cured floor will be walkable in about 10 hours and usable for vehicles after a full 24-hour cure.

  • Crystal-clear epoxy resin: Perfect for showing the true colours of aggregates.
  • UV-resistant and non-yellowing: Maintains floor aesthetics over time.
  • Low viscosity: Promotes better mixing and aggregate impregnation for structural reliability.
  • Certified non-toxic: Safe after full cure for family and pets.

Epoxyprimer: Surface Preparation for Maximum Performance

Correct priming leads to lasting adhesion and prevents delamination in resin systems. The Epoxyprimer – Universal Water-Based Two-Component Epoxy Floor Primer is suitable for 70 sqm projects involving concrete, tile, or wooden base layers. Coverage is typically 100–300 g/m2 (assume higher end for porous surfaces). Use a roller or brush for even application; allow 24–48 hours curing before laying the aggregate mix or resin finish. It is eco-friendly, odourless, and suitable for both professional and DIY use.

  • Superior adhesion: Secures resin systems for long-term durability and resistance to peeling.
  • Eco-friendly & odourless: Ideal for use in closed or indoor areas.
  • Versatile compatibility: Works with concrete, wood, screeds and ceramics.
  • Simple application: Ensures smooth, consistent priming of large areas.

Prolux: Polyurethane Coating for Hard-Wearing, Driveable Floors

The Prolux – PU coating for tiles, concrete, plastic and metal – suitable for driveable surfaces is suited to high-traffic and external spaces, offering robust durability and advanced UV resistance. One coat at 145 g/m2 is sufficient for most sound surfaces—calculate your total requirement by multiplying by 70 for full coverage. Choose from gloss or satin finishes and nearly any colour to suit your design. Mixing is easy (2:1 ratio), and its CE certification ensures compliance on commercial and domestic jobs alike.

  • Advanced protection: Resists weather, abrasion, and yellowing.
  • Ideal for damp and high-traffic areas: Withstands heavy loads and moisture.
  • Versatile finish: Wide range of colours and gloss levels.
  • Suitable for multiple surfaces: For more than just concrete—applies to ceramic, plastics, and steel.
  • Certified and compliant: Meets EN 1504-2 standards for confidence in specification.
  • Easy to use: Two-component design simplifies mixing and handling.

Key Considerations for Ordering Resin for 70 sq m

Always factor in substrate porosity, desired texture and local climate when planning your order. For decorative or permeable surfaces, use a precise resin-to-aggregate ratio as specified by your kit, and round up quantities to allow for wastage and edge areas. For liquid coatings or primers, generally use the manufacturer’s high-end coverage figures on older or rougher surfaces. If in doubt, it is best to consult the detailed product guides within the Pebble Floors or Interior category to match your exact project type and environment.
