Always Check Compatibility Between Resin Types and Aggregate Colour

When renovating floors with resin grout and aggregates, ensuring compatibility between the resin type and the aggregate colour is crucial. The right pairing helps preserve your floor’s appearance and durability over time.

Why Compatibility Matters

Different resin binders react in various ways with stone colours—especially when exposed to sunlight over the years. Using an unsuitable binder may lead to yellowing or colour alteration, especially on light or white aggregates. For example, while a standard epoxy may be perfect for coloured stones, only a specialist polyurethane binder is recommended for white pebbles, as it prevents discolouration.

Practical Product Selection

White stones: Choose a non-yellowing polyurethane binder, such as Polirock, for a clear, lasting finish.
Coloured or dark aggregates: Opt for a clear, UV-stable epoxy like Trasparente Epoxy Binder.
Mixed-area installations: Use comprehensive kits such as the Flowstone Permeable Floor Kit which provides guidance on selecting the correct binder for your chosen aggregate type.

Always consult the product instructions and, where in doubt, test the pairing on a small, inconspicuous area before completing your project.

When This Matters Most

Compatibility is especially important in outdoor environments or highly visible areas where appearance is key and surfaces are exposed to sun and weather. Floors in driveways, patios, or public spaces benefit greatly from proper binder-aggregate matching to avoid premature fading or staining.
