If you’re considering a resin-coated floor, knowing how each product fits into the installation process is essential. A common question is whether Resinstone is intended as a topcoat or used as the main resin layer.
How Is Resinstone Meant to Be Used?
Resinstone is specifically formulated for use as a sealer or protective topcoat. It’s designed to be applied over absorbent surfaces such as concrete or over existing resin layers. Thanks to its deep penetration and mechanical strength, Resinstone creates a durable, long-lasting barrier that helps protect your underlying floor from wear and environmental factors. However, Resinstone is not suitable as the main bulk resin for creating the build-up or structure of a resin floor system—it doesn’t provide the necessary body for such use.


Where and When to Apply Resinstone
Choose Resinstone when you need to enhance and safeguard concrete floors, stamped concrete, driveways, or outdoor paths. As a topcoat, it excels at sealing in colour, fighting off moisture penetration, and resisting damage from chemicals and the weather. Application is straightforward: simply apply to a dust-free, absorbent surface for best results, and allow it to dry thoroughly—often in less than 12 hours.
If you need a product for the base or bulk resin layer under the topcoat, consider pairing Resinstone with a specialist floor primer such as Epoxyprimer to ensure maximum adhesion and longevity.
When This Matters Most
Using the right product in the right layer is vital when you want a floor that will endure daily traffic, oil, or weather exposure. Incorrectly using Resinstone as a structural resin can compromise surface stability and protection. If you’re unsure, always confirm product positioning in your resin floor installation to avoid costly rework.
