Factors Affecting Your DIY Kit Cost
Several practical reasons may cause your permeable flooring project price to vary. The primary aspect is surface area: the larger the area, the more resin and aggregate you’ll require, but bulk kits such as “Flowstone” become more cost-effective for bigger spaces.

If you are resurfacing or repairing a small area, purchasing only the components you need, such as a “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit, keeps initial costs low and wastage minimal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
Resins are offered for industrial cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring and tile coatings. Each is formulated for a specific purpose and surface type.
Are specific weather conditions required for resin application?
Resin application requires specific climatic conditions to ensure proper adhesion and curing. Avoid application during very low or very high temperatures and high humidity for the best results.
What is a permeable floor?
A permeable floor allows rainwater to pass through, preventing puddles and reducing flood risk. It is achieved by mixing stone granules and resin to allow water dispersion into the subsoil.
Are permeable floors suitable for high-traffic areas?
Resin-bound permeable floors using granules are strong enough for pedestrian areas, driveways, and even car parks, provided suitable materials and installation methods are followed.
Can I install a permeable floor myself?
Yes, these kits are designed for easy DIY installation. Most surfaces require no specialist skills; for larger areas, a cement mixer is recommended for blending granules and resin.
Can these pebbles be used in resin-bound permeable flooring?
Absolutely. The Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg are made to be mixed with resin binder systems to create practical, attractive, and draining outdoor surfaces.
What resin binders are recommended for different stone colours?
For white stones, the "Polirock" 1:1 system is ideal, while for coloured or natural-tone stones, an epoxy binder with a 100:60 ratio is suggested for optimal adhesion and colour preservation.
Are these pebbles suitable for creating surfaces that allow water permeability?
Yes. These pebbles ensure excellent water permeability when combined with the appropriate resin, efficiently reducing surface runoff and contributing to sustainable landscaping.
