Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin are available for outdoor floors?
Our range includes resins for industrial cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring, and tile coatings. Choosing the right type ensures optimal performance for your chosen surface.
What is a permeable floor?
A permeable floor is made to allow water to pass through rather than sitting on the surface. This reduces puddles, minimises flooding risk and contributes to a more sustainable outdoor environment by using a mix of granules and resin.
Are permeable floors suitable for cold or wet climates?
Yes, all our permeable paving solutions are suitable for the UK climate when installed according to instructions. Properly installed systems resist frost, wet weather, and the effects of temperature change.
Can I install permeable paving myself?
Most of our products, including the Flowstone kit, are designed for DIY use as well as professional contractors. For larger installations, we recommend a cement mixer to ensure thorough blending of granules and resin, but standard hand tools are sufficient for smaller areas.
Are permeable floors safe for driveways and high-traffic use?
Yes, when the correct materials and methods are used, resin-bound permeable floors are robust, resilient, and suitable for both pedestrian and light vehicle traffic. They also provide anti-slip properties for added safety.
Can these pebbles be combined with other decorative aggregates?
Absolutely. You can combine the Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors with marble, granite, or porphyry granules for bespoke finishes and unique design effects.
How do I keep white stone paving looking pristine?
Use a non-yellowing binder such as the Polirock Polyurethane Binder for White Stones. This ensures your surface retains its brightness and clarity over time, even with exposure to UV light and weather.
Can RESINSTONE be used to bind loose gravel?
RESINSTONE is formulated for absorbent surfaces such as concrete and is not recommended for use as a binder for loose aggregates. For stone binding, select dedicated binder products like those found in our Pebble Floors category.
