Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decide between different resin-bound aggregates for outdoor flooring?
Choosing an aggregate depends on key considerations such as your surface’s drainage requirements, the appearance you wish to achieve, and compatibility with resin binders. Popular options include natural stones such as marble, granite, and porphyry granules. Pre-washed pebbles are ideal if you value eco-friendliness and ready-to-use simplicity.A versatile approach combines aggregate types for a custom look that suits your project’s specifics.
What types of resin do you offer for outdoor flooring?
ResinPro supplies systems for industrial cement-based flooring, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring, and tile coatings. Each system pairs with different aggregates for maximum durability and visual flexibility in outdoor spaces.
What are the advantages of resin-bound surfaces compared to other flooring materials?
Resin-bound surfaces are highly durable with strong wear resistance, easy maintenance, waterproof qualities, and customisable appearance. Their permeable design also helps prevent surface water build-up, making them ideal for UK climates.
What is a permeable floor and where should I use it?
A permeable floor allows rainwater to pass through, preventing puddle formation and helping reduce flood risk by dispersing water efficiently. Such systems are effective for gardens, car parks, driveways, courtyards, cycle paths, public squares, and communal terraces.
Are weather conditions important for installation?
Yes, the correct application requires suitable weather: avoid extreme cold, heat, or high humidity to ensure optimal adhesion and curing. Ideal temperatures help the resin and aggregate bonds develop their intended strength and finish.
Is DIY installation possible for resin-bound outdoor floors?
Absolutely. With products like the "Flowstone" kit and Washed Pebbles, even those with limited experience can achieve strong results by following step-by-step instructions. For larger areas, using a cement mixer can help mix aggregate and resin efficiently.
How do I choose the right binder for my aggregate?
Match your binder to the colour and type of your aggregate. For white stones, a clear polyurethane binder such as "Polirock" ensures a no-yellowing, long-lasting result. For coloured stones, a low-yellowing epoxy binder will preserve their natural appearance.
