Step-by-Step: How to Make Your Own Permeable Floor

1. Choose Your System: Decide whether you want an all-in-one kit such as Flowstone, which includes pebbles, resin, and clear instructions, or to select components individually using Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg and your desired binder.

2. Prepare the Substrate: Begin with a solid, stable surface free from dust and moisture. For best permeability and anti-slip properties, proper substrate preparation is essential.

3. Mix Pebbles & Binder: Combine your pre-washed pebbles with the correct resin. For white stones, use Polirock – its anti-yellowing formula keeps your whites crisp and bright. For coloured stones, opt for Trasparente.

4. Spread & Compact: Lay out the pebble-resin mixture, spreading evenly to your desired depth. Compact and level the surface for strength and even finish.

5. Protection & Finishing: If your base is concrete, consider sealing with Resinstone for extra durability and moisture protection.

6. Curing: Surfaces are typically walkable after 12 hours and suitable for vehicles after 36–48 hours, provided temperatures are above 10°C. Always follow product-specific guidance for best results.
