When planning a stylish, durable, and drainable outdoor floor, the binder resin you choose is crucial. Low-yellowing epoxy is often preferred for coloured stone surfaces, helping preserve vibrant finishes exposed to the elements.
What Is Low-Yellowing Epoxy and Why Use It?
Low-yellowing epoxy is a resin specifically formulated to resist discolouration from sunlight and weathering, making it ideal for outdoor surfaces where appearance matters. When used with coloured aggregates, this type of binder helps keep colours more stable over time, reducing the risk of the resin becoming noticeably yellow or dull.
Choosing the Right Binder for Your Project
For permeable paving with coloured stones, low-yellowing epoxy offers a good balance between durability and visual longevity. However, for white stone—such as Carrara gravel—a non-yellowing polyurethane binder is often recommended, as epoxy alone may not fully prevent yellowing on lighter aggregates. Assess your colour palette and select the appropriate binder for best results. For complete solutions, products like the Flowstone Complete Permeable Floor Kit provide guidance tailored to both coloured and white aggregates.
When Low-Yellowing Epoxy Matters Most
- You want to maintain the bold appearance of coloured pebbles or aggregates in areas such as driveways, patios, or walkways.
- The paving is exposed to frequent sunlight or the UK’s varied weather, both of which can accelerate yellowing in standard epoxy.
