What to consider when selecting a professional permeable resin
Making the right selection involves matching your project’s requirements to resin properties:
- Application thickness: Some resins, like “Trasparente”, are optimised for thin layers (up to 2cm), while others, such as in the “River-Table” kit, allow for 2cm or 5cm pours.
- Finish and clarity: For a crystal-clear, glass-like top surface, look to “Art Pro” and “Art Pro Deluxe”. If deeper casting or embedding is the goal, “Trasparente” excels.
- Permeability and drainage: Only specialised kits like “Flowstone” are engineered for drainage and outdoor exposure, making them the prime choice for driveways and rain-prone pathways.
- Ease of mixing and eco-friendliness: Reduce waste and air bubbles with the Anti Bubble Mixer for Epoxy Resin for all your projects—its reusable design benefits you and the environment.
- UV and scratch resistance: For outdoor or high-traffic areas, ensure your resin has adequate filtration and hardness, as guaranteed by “Trasparente”, “Art Pro”, and “Art Pro Deluxe”.
- Beginner or professional use: Kits like “River-Table” offer a step-by-step, all-in-one approach, while individual resins and accessories suit those seeking more flexibility and control.
Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding mixing ratios, recommended application thickness, and curing conditions, as these factors are critical to both appearance and lifespan of your finished project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a permeable floor?
A permeable floor is crafted from a blend of granules and resin, designed to allow rainwater to pass through its surface. This reduces water stagnation and helps prevent local flooding, particularly on driveways, walkways, and patios exposed to the elements.
Which resin type should I select for different project thicknesses?
For thin castings (up to 2cm), "Trasparente" is ideal. The "River-Table" kit includes resin choices suitable for either 2cm or 5cm pours depending on your project needs. For thin artistic coatings, select "Art Pro" or "Art Pro Deluxe", following the minimum recommended layer thicknesses.
Can I install a permeable floor kit myself?
Yes, kits such as "Flowstone" come with detailed instructions and are suitable for all skill levels. While a cement mixer is recommended for large surfaces, the straightforward process enables confident DIY installation for most outdoor settings.
How do I avoid bubbles or imperfections in my finished resin work?
The key to a professional, bubble-free finish is gentle mixing using a purpose-built tool like the Anti Bubble Mixer for Epoxy Resin. Combine this with gradual pouring and careful adherence to mixing ratios for best results.
Is UV and scratch resistance important for outdoor and artistic resin applications?
Absolutely. Products like "Trasparente", "Art Pro", and "Art Pro Deluxe" provide integrated UV filters and robust scratch resistance, ensuring vibrant colour and surface durability even in sun-exposed or frequently used areas.
Is it safe to use these resins with embedded objects or printed messages?
Resins such as "Trasparente" are formulated for clarity and adhesion, making them suitable for embeddings. For projects like memorial jewellery or embedding messages on stone, ensure the surface is dry and use a resin with UV stabilisation for long-term clarity.
Are these resins suitable for both beginners and professionals?
Yes, kits like "River-Table" are tailored to support users of all experience levels, while individual resins and mixing tools can be chosen according to your confidence and project complexity. Always read individual product instructions for best practice.
