Resin Comparison: Tables vs Floors

Table Resins: Clarity and Depth

Epoxy resins made for tables are engineered to produce a crystal-clear, glass-like finish. They allow for deep pours—essential for river tables or embedding objects—while minimising bubbles thanks to lower viscosity and a slow curing process. Good UV stability is also vital to preserve clarity and prevent discolouration over time. For example, “Epoxytable 10-Ten” is specifically developed for deep table pours, maintaining impressive clarity even at high thicknesses.

Floor Resins: Durability and Resistance

Flooring resins, in contrast, are designed to handle the heavy demands of foot traffic, abrasion, and regular cleaning. These products prioritise surface hardness, permeability (in the case of outdoor or permeable floors), and colour retention even under sunlight or repeated use. They may not achieve the absolute clarity of table resins but excel in withstanding everyday wear. Kits like Flowstone are formulated for use with aggregates and feature binders that protect colour and structure across patios, driveways, and public spaces.

When This Matters Most

• If your project is decorative—such as a centrepiece table or embedded artwork—a deep pour, clear resin is ideal.
• For busy household floors, commercial spaces, or outdoor paths, opt for a flooring resin with a high level of mechanical resistance and the finish suitable for exposure and cleaning.
