Which resin system suits my terrace type?

Understanding Your Terrace Surface

The nature of your terrace surface will point you toward the ideal resin option. For existing gravel or stone finishes, a permeable resin-bound system is recommended. Products like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit allow rainwater to pass through, preventing puddles and providing a decorative touch. By contrast, concrete terraces call for a robust protective layer, such as a methacrylic resin, to seal, waterproof, and enhance the surface while ensuring breathability.

Matching Resin Solutions to Your Needs

• Gravel and Stone Surfaces: Permeable kits are ideal, blending stones with resin for a durable, water-draining layer. If working with coloured stones, opt for a clear epoxy binder that won’t yellow. For white stone aggregates, a polyurethane binder like Polirock ensures a bright and stable finish.
• Concrete Terraces: Choose a methacrylic resin such as Resinstone for sealing and protecting concrete. This solution penetrates the surface and provides protection from weather, water ingress, and wear.

When this Matters: Drainage, Durability and Appearance

If your terrace is exposed to heavy rain or frequent foot traffic, picking the right resin system is key for longevity. Permeable resin-bound surfaces are best when water needs to drain away quickly, while non-permeable solutions are suited for terraces where protection from moisture is paramount and appearance is a priority.
