Whether you’re refitting a domestic patio or installing a robust urban walkway, these solutions are formulated to suit unpredictable UK outdoor conditions.

• Resists weathering, UV rays, and thermal shock for lasting good looks
• Eco-conscious options using natural, washed aggregates

How to Build Your Permeable Patio

The installation process is straightforward and accessible to DIYers and professionals alike. With the Flowstone – Complete Permeable Floor Kit, you receive clear, step-by-step guidance to achieve a robust and visually appealing surface. Begin by preparing a compacted, stable base. Next, mix chosen pebbles like the Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors with the recommended type and amount of resin binder—use Polirock Polyurethane Binder for installing white stones that retain brightness over time. Trowel the mix onto the surface at your desired depth and let it cure as per product guidance for a simple application with professional results.

Remember: Always check whether your chosen resin is compatible with the aggregate colour and application area. Our products include detailed mixing guides and support for various weather and traffic requirements.

Maintaining and Enhancing Your Patio Surface

Maintaining a permeable patio is simple. Regular brushing to remove debris and the occasional wash with mild soapy water will keep the surface drainable and smart. Our polyurethane and epoxy binders have been selected both for their weather resistance and ease of cleaning, so your patio continues to perform and look its best year after year.

If you want to further personalise your patio, our pebble floors selection includes additional aggregate types and colours, making it easy to create decorative borders or inset patterns that stand out.
