The Flowstone Permeable Floor Kit is designed to deliver durable, beautiful outdoor surfaces while ensuring effective water drainage. Choosing the right resin for your project is key to achieving an attractive and long-lasting result.
Resin Options in the Flowstone Kit
There are two types of resin included in the Flowstone kit: non-yellowing polyurethane and low-yellowing epoxy. Each type serves a different purpose, optimised for use with specific aggregates. The non-yellowing polyurethane resin is recommended for white or very light stones as it helps preserve their brightness over time. Meanwhile, the low-yellowing epoxy resin is better suited to coloured stones, supporting colour stability and ensuring lasting visual appeal across a wide range of finishes.
Choosing the Best Resin for Your Surface
Your choice of resin should match both the aesthetic and practical requirements of your surface. If you are using white aggregates, opt for the polyurethane binder, which resists yellowing and keeps the surface looking clean. For coloured pebbles or decorative finishes, the epoxy binder provides a robust bond while minimising colour changes. For a ready-to-use solution, the Flowstone Complete Kit offers clear guidance on resin selection according to your chosen aggregate.
When Resin Choice Matters Most
- White Stone Surfaces: Use polyurethane resin to maintain the brightness of white pebbles.
- Coloured Decorative Areas: Choose epoxy for coloured aggregates to retain vivid colours.
- Outdoor Exposure: Selecting the correct resin improves both the appearance and resilience of your permeable patio or pathway.
