← Back to What resin should I use for floors?

Polyurethane binders are essential for achieving clear, durable and decorative pebble or stone resin floors, especially when working with white or light-coloured aggregates outdoors.
Why Choose Polyurethane Binders?
Polyurethane binders are specifically formulated to prevent yellowing and maintain the clarity of white stone or light-coloured floor finishes. They provide exceptional weather resistance, making them ideal for use on driveways, garden paths, terraces and other outdoor areas exposed to the UK climate. These binders offer both durability and flexibility, helping your pebble surfaces withstand foot and vehicle traffic while remaining decorative and functional.
How to Use Polyurethane Binders for Stone Floors
The application process is straightforward. Polyurethane binders should be mixed thoroughly with white or light-coloured crushed stone or pebbles before being spread onto a stable, prepared base. Using a cement mixer is helpful for larger projects, ensuring all aggregate is evenly coated. After levelling the mixture on your chosen area, compact the surface gently to remove air pockets and allow for optimal drainage. For comprehensive results, kits such as the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin provide all necessary materials and step-by-step guidance.
When This Matters
Polyurethane binders are especially vital when you want a non-yellowing finish for white or pale stones in decorative or highly visible outdoor spaces. Their weather-resistant nature is crucial for UK driveways, footpaths, and terraces where longevity and continuous water drainage are priorities.
