What is permeable resin bound gravel?

Permeable resin bound gravel involves binding natural stone aggregates with a suitable resin to create an outdoor surface that allows water to drain through. This method helps prevent puddles, reduces flood risk, and meets UK requirements for sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS). The result is safe, durable, and attractive paths and driveways that stay bright throughout the seasons.

From Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces to comprehensive kits like “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin, you have a range of options catering to both professional and DIY needs.

Cost breakdown: permeable resin bound gravel

The total cost of a permeable resin bound gravel installation depends on several variables, including the size of the area, the specific products used, and your required finish. Here are the main cost components:

• Resin Binder: Price will vary based on type (polyurethane or epoxy) and performance, especially for colour stability in UK weather.
• Aggregates (Pebbles or Stones): Quality, size and aesthetic impact the price per bag or per kit.
• Complete Kits: All-in-one solutions typically offer better value and clear pricing per square metre.

For example, the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin ranges from £42.85 up to £3,389.85 depending on the area you wish to cover. If you’re sourcing aggregates separately, Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces are available at £26.85 per bag. Special resin binders such as the “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit cost £58.85, ideal when working with white stone projects that demand outstanding colour retention.

• Larger projects may benefit from bulk pricing with bigger kits or pallet-load purchases.
• DIY installation can save on labour costs—ResinPro’s products come with detailed, step-by-step instructions for all skill levels.
