Choose the Right Resin for Your Surface

Identify Your Surface and Environment

First, assess where your resin will be applied. For vertical or sloping walls, such as feature walls or splashbacks, a non-self-levelling, decorative resin like Vertical Glass is ideal due to its ability to hold decorative effects and provide waterproofing in interiors—even humid ones.

For floors—especially in garages, driveways, or commercial spaces—look for strong, abrasion-resistant coatings like Prolux. Outdoor paths or patios often benefit from permeable systems, like Flowstone, which help manage rainwater.

Match Resin Properties to Your Requirements

• Decorative & vertical surfaces: Select a resin that can be customised with pigments and adheres well to surfaces like tiles, wood, or cement. Non-self-levelling formulas maintain crisp, artistic designs on walls and allow flexible thickness.
• Floors and driveable areas: Choose a coating that withstands wear, UV exposure and weathering. Polyurethane-based options like Prolux offer gloss or satin finish and suit multiple substrates, provided the base is clean and dry.
• Outdoor and permeable needs: A dedicated kit such as Flowstone combines the right binder for your aggregate, ensuring durability and drainage for driveways or paths.

Practical Tips for Resin Selection & Application

• Always prepare surfaces properly by cleaning and removing old finishes or contaminants.
• Check product suitability—some resins are better for humid indoor environments, while others handle UV and traffic outdoors.
• Follow manufacturer instructions for mixing ratios, application tools (like spatulas for walls), and curing times for best results.
