“Flowstone” Complete Permeable Floor Kit: Full-System Reliability
For those seeking a turnkey approach, the “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin stands out as a robust and user-friendly solution. Supplied with a choice of non-yellowing polyurethane or low-yellowing epoxy binders based on aggregate colour, this kit is engineered to handle the demands of driveways, vehicle crossings, and patios without sacrificing drainage performance.
Balancing strength and design, the kit enables easy coverage estimation based on surface area and provides clear, step-by-step instructions. The high permeability prevents standing water and reduces surface flooding, making it ideal for both public and private projects. Thanks to its wide array of colour and granule size options, matching your outdoor aesthetics is straightforward.
For white aggregates such as Carrara marble, the recommended polyurethane binder preserves brightness and resists discolouration. For coloured stones, the low-yellowing epoxy ensures lasting vibrancy. The “Flowstone” system can be installed by both DIY enthusiasts and professionals, with mesh reinforcement available for compacted earth applications.
Using Washed Pebbles for Highly-Draining, Sustainable Surfaces
If you prefer custom mixes or a modular approach, Washed Pebbles for Permeable Floors 25kg – Outdoor Resin-Bound Surfaces are the ideal aggregate for forming seamless, eco-friendly driveways and walkways. These pre-washed and dried pebbles are immediately ready for combination with binders like those from the Flowstone kit or standalone resin binders. They offer excellent permeability and quickly distribute rainwater, preventing runoff even during heavy showers.
These pebbles, suitable for both residential and commercial landscaping, can be tailored further by mixing with marble, granite, or porphyry granules. Easy to transport and handle, they’re especially useful for patch repairs, DIY installations, or expanding existing permeable areas. Pairing these pebbles with a high-quality resin binder ensures a flexible, low-maintenance and attractive finish for any permeable flooring area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resin do you offer for flooring?
We offer resins suitable for industrial cement-based floors, coloured self-levelling floors, garage floors, permeable pebble flooring, and tile coatings. Each caters to a specific use—explore our site for full product ranges.
Are specific weather conditions required for resin application?
Yes. Application should take place in moderate conditions—avoid very low or high temperatures and periods of high humidity to ensure proper curing and optimal results.
What is a permeable floor?
A permeable floor is engineered to allow rainwater to pass through, preventing puddles and reducing flood risk. It incorporates resin and granules for excellent drainage to the subsoil.
What are the advantages of permeable flooring for driveways?
Permeable floors offer an attractive finish with customisable colours, affordable installation, excellent drainage, weather resistance, anti-slip texture, low maintenance, and suitability for DIY projects. They are especially beneficial in areas prone to heavy rain.
Are these products suitable for high-traffic or heavy vehicle areas?
Yes, both resin-bound and resin-bonded permeable systems are designed for the demands of pedestrian pathways, driveways, and car parks, provided the correct installation method and substrate are used for vehicle loads.
Can permeable resin-bound systems be applied on compacted earth?
Yes. For light traffic, a 2 cm layer is generally adequate. For areas subject to heavy vehicles, a reinforced concrete base of at least 7–8 cm is best, or use grass-reinforcement grids with a thicker resin and aggregate mix for strength.
Can I install permeable resin flooring myself?
Absolutely. The application is straightforward and quick, even for DIY users. For larger areas, using a cement mixer can facilitate blending of resin and aggregates efficiently.
Can washed pebbles be mixed with other types of stones or aggregates?
Yes. Washed pebbles blend easily with marble, granite, and porphyry granules, allowing you to design a unique surface look tailored to your outdoor environment.
