This guide walks you through recommended products, preparation and step-by-step instructions—suitable for beginners and professionals alike.

We’ll explore complete kits like the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin for surface creation, specialist binders such as “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits and “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit for aggregate floors, Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces as aggregate, and primers like “Epoxyprimer” – Universal Water-Based Two-Component Epoxy Floor Primer. If your project is concrete-centric, “Resinstone” – One-Component Methacrylic Resin for Concrete Floors and Driveways delivers an easy, resilient finish.

Choosing the right resin system for your floor

The first step is understanding which products suit your substrate and desired aesthetic. ResinPro’s curated range caters to many needs:

• Complete permeable resin flooring kits – like the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin, which contains carefully matched, pre-washed pebbles and resin, selected based on desired finish and area size. Used with the right binder, these systems are ideal for driveways, footpaths, terraces, and even public spaces.
• Specialist resin binders – “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits is formulated for pebble and aggregate flooring where clarity and UV stability are key. For white or light stones, “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit provides non-yellowing, weather-resistant performance outdoors.
• Natural aggregates – Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces makes for eco-friendly, durable, and permeable floors, perfect for DIYers and landscape professionals alike.
• Primers and sealers – “Epoxyprimer” – Universal Water-Based Two-Component Epoxy Floor Primer ensures maximum bond to various substrates, from concrete to timber. For concrete floor protection and sealing, “Resinstone” – One-Component Methacrylic Resin for Concrete Floors and Driveways offers fast, robust mechanical strength.

Step-by-step: Applying resin on new and existing floors

Proper application is essential for a lasting, even, and attractive finish. Below is a summary of process stages, using recommended ResinPro products.

Clean the existing floor surface, removing loose particles, oils, or previous coatings. Concrete, screed, tile, or timber all require thorough cleaning and, where necessary, repairs before resin is applied.

Primers like “Epoxyprimer” – Universal Water-Based Two-Component Epoxy Floor Primer maximise adhesion, especially on porous or mixed substrates. Apply evenly by roller, brush, or spatula and allow to cure fully (24–48 hours).

If sealing concrete against weather, moisture, or stains is key, use “Resinstone” – One-Component Methacrylic Resin for Concrete Floors and Driveways for quick-drying, robust protection.

Combine your chosen stones—such as Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces—with the resin binder. For most coloured stones or grits, “Trasparente” – Epoxy Binder for Coloured Pebbles and Grits ensures clarity and stability. For white aggregates, use “Polirock” – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit to avoid yellowing.

Apply the resin-bound mixture evenly to the prepared substrate, levelling to the desired thickness. For larger areas, a cement mixer may assist in achieving an even blend of resin and aggregate. Compact and smooth the surface using a trowel or screed bar.

Allow your new floor to cure undisturbed. Depending on temperature and chosen products, light foot traffic can resume in as little as 10–12 hours. Full resistance and mechanical properties develop within 24–48 hours. Avoid wet conditions during curing.

Expert tips and common mistakes to avoid

Simple application is a hallmark of ResinPro systems, but attention to detail in mixing and substrate preparation is vital. Avoid applying resin on surfaces with standing water or in unsuitable temperatures (such as below 10°C or above 30°C). Ensure aggregates are fully dry, and mix binder thoroughly for even encapsulation. Refer to each product’s step-by-step instructions and recommended ratios.

Always use the correct binder—Polirock for white stones, Trasparente for coloured aggregates—to preserve surface appearance long-term. Select only natural, pre-washed pebbles such as Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors to prevent bonding or drainage issues.

For high-traffic zones or car parks, align binder and aggregate selection to expected usage and thickness, consulting our pebble floors experts when needed. The result will be a resilient, bespoke surface to enjoy year-round.
