Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for courtyard and outdoor floors?
ResinPro supplies resins for industrial floors, coloured self-levelling surfaces, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring, and tile coatings.
What is a permeable floor and why use one outdoors?
A permeable floor allows rainwater to pass through the surface, reducing puddles and flood risk. This is achieved by combining special granules and resin, promoting natural water dispersion into the soil—a key asset for UK courtyards.
How do washed pebbles help drainage in paving?
Washed pebbles, like those found in our Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces, are optimised for maximum water permeability and durable surfaces. When used correctly with resin binders, they help prevent runoff and maintain effective water management.
Should I use polyurethane resin or epoxy binder for white stones?
For white or light-coloured stones, always use a non-yellowing polyurethane binder like "Polirock" – Polyurethane Binder for White Stones, 2kg Two-Component Kit. This ensures the surface remains clear and bright, resisting UV-induced discolouration.
Are permeable resin-bound floors suitable for driveways or high-traffic courtyards?
Yes, when installed with appropriate substrate preparation, these systems are durable enough for both pedestrian and driveway use. Their strength is enhanced through proper stone and resin selection.
Can I customise the look of my resin-bound courtyard?
Absolutely. Both the "Flowstone" – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin and our washed aggregates allow you to select granule colour, size, and even blend with marble or granite for unique designs.
