Permeable Solutions for Resin Bound Paving

← Back to What is the best aggregate for resin bound paving?

When looking to create a durable outdoor surface, a permeable solution in resin bound paving is essential for managing rainwater and keeping your driveways and paths puddle-free. This page explains the basics of permeable paving, how it works, and what you need to achieve effective drainage alongside a stunning finish.

What is a Permeable Resin Bound Surface?

A permeable resin bound surface is made from a mixture of aggregates (such as decorative pebbles or gravel) and resin, laid to allow water to filter through tiny gaps between stones. This design prevents surface water build-up, helping to reduce flooding and promoting better drainage into the ground. It’s ideal for both residential and public settings where standing water can be a problem.

Choosing the Right Permeable System

To achieve a truly permeable finish, combining the correct aggregate and resin system is crucial. For example, the “Flowstone” Complete Kit provides everything needed for a draining floor, including a selection of pebbles and a suitable resin binder. When working with white stones, opt for a non-yellowing polyurethane resin like Polirock for a clear, UV-stable finish. For coloured aggregates, a low-yellowing epoxy such as Trasparente ensures the colour integrity of your chosen stones.

When a Permeable Solution Matters Most

• Driveways or footpaths where puddles or ice may form
• Outdoor public spaces with high footfall
• Areas prone to flooding or subject to sustainable drainage requirements

Permeable paving not only helps manage excess water but also keeps surfaces safer and more attractive throughout the seasons.
