Why Permeable Paving Matters in the UK
Flooding and water build-up are increasing concerns throughout UK towns and cities. With permeable paving such as resin-bound stone, you help rainwater drain through the surface naturally, preventing standing water and excess runoff. Permeable systems are not just practical but also aid local environmental management, helping to reduce flood risk, comply with modern drainage standards, and deliver long-lasting, attractive outdoor settings for homes or commercial properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
We offer resins for industrial cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring and tile coatings.
What are the advantages of resins compared to other flooring materials?
Resins offer high wear resistance, easy maintenance, durability, waterproofing and a highly customisable aesthetic.
Are specific weather conditions required for resin application?
Yes, resin application requires specific climatic conditions to ensure proper adhesion and curing. It is advisable to avoid very low or very high temperatures and high humidity.
What is a permeable floor?
A permeable floor is a surface designed to allow rainwater to pass through it, preventing water stagnation and reducing the risk of flooding. It is made of a special mix of granules and resin, allowing optimal water dispersion into the subsoil.
What are the advantages of a permeable floor?
Advantages include an attractive and customisable appearance, very low application costs, excellent water drainage, resistance to weather and frost, an anti-slip surface, low maintenance, DIY installation possibility, and greater durability in rainy areas.
Where is it recommended to install a permeable floor?
Recommended locations include outdoor areas subject to frequent rain, car parks, driveways, gardens, courtyards, pedestrian and cycle paths, public spaces such as squares and parks, and shared terraces or yards.
Can I install a permeable floor myself?
Absolutely. Application is simple and quick and does not require specific skills. For large surfaces, using a cement mixer is recommended to ease mixing granules and resin.
Are permeable floors suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, granule and resin permeable floors are strong and suitable for pedestrian areas, driveways and car parks, provided appropriate materials and installation techniques are used.
Can it also be applied on compacted soil?
Yes, it is possible. For light traffic, a 2 cm layer is sufficient. For heavy vehicles, a concrete base of at least 7-8 cm is recommended, or the application of a grass-reinforcement grid with a thicker mix.
What is the best time to apply permeable flooring?
The resin cures under a wide range of conditions. The recommended minimum temperature is 10°C and the maximum is 40°C. At higher temperatures, curing times are reduced.
What should I pay attention to during application?
Important aspects include correct resin dosage and ensuring surfaces are dry, as humidity and wet substrates negatively affect resin curing.
Which resin products are commonly paired with permeable pebbles?
Permeable pebbles are typically used with resin binder systems designed for outdoor floors to ensure durability and water permeability.
Can permeable pebbles be mixed with other granules?
Yes, they can be combined with marble, granite, or porphyry granules for customised appearance and performance.
