Choosing the right binder for your driveway project can make a big difference in durability and appearance. Two of the main options, polyurethane and epoxy, each offer unique benefits depending on your aggregate and design preferences.
When to Choose Polyurethane Binders
Polyurethane binders are particularly well-suited for installations using white or very light natural stones. Their main advantage lies in their ability to resist yellowing over time, ensuring that white stones stay bright and clear. If you wish to achieve an elegant, crisp look for your driveway—especially when using stones like Carrara marble—the polyurethane binder in Polirock is the preferred option.
Ideal Uses for Epoxy Binders
Epoxy binders are better suited to coloured aggregates or situations where UV resistance carries extra importance. Although epoxy has a slight tendency to yellow over time, using a low-yellowing formula minimises this effect for darker or naturally coloured pebbles. Epoxy is also valued for its strength and ability to enhance certain aggregate colours, making it a solid choice for creative, vibrant driveway designs.
When This Matters Most
- Colour preservation: Polyurethane prevents yellowing of white stones over time.
- Outdoor exposure: Both binders offer weather resistance but polyurethane is the go-to for light colours in full sun.
- Custom designs: Choose an epoxy binder for multi-coloured or darker stone mixes.
