• Trasparente Epoxy Binder for coloured or natural-toned pebbles or grits, keeping hues vibrant and protected against UV exposure, backed by a certified non-toxic finish after curing.

For those with a concrete substrate, pre-treatment using the Resinstone methacrylic resin ensures your base layer is waterproof yet breathable, crucial for maintaining long-term permeability and resisting weather extremes.

Installation Tips for Long-Lasting Permeable Floors

Achieving lasting results is straightforward with high quality, easy-to-use products. The “Flowstone” kit offers Simple application with comprehensive guides, and most options can be handled by DIYers and professionals alike.

For large surfaces, a cement mixer is recommended for blending stones and resin efficiently. When using binders like Polirock or Trasparente Epoxy Binder, always mix pebbles and resin before laying. Do not pour resin directly onto loose gravel, as this may not ensure the necessary stability for busy walkways or vehicle areas.

The use of Resinstone as a sealant on concrete floors fortifies them against moisture, chemicals, and UV damage, keeping your underlayer robust and prolonging flooring system lifespan.

A Sustainable & Low Maintenance Outdoor Choice

Permeable flooring is naturally low maintenance and helps manage surface water responsibly, reducing localised flooding and puddle formation. By utilising products such as Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors, you support eco-friendly landscaping with long-term weather and UV stability. Meanwhile, binders like Polirock and Trasparente ensure safety with anti-slip finishes and clarity without yellowing.
