Frequently Asked Questions
What is a permeable floor and why is it important?
A permeable floor lets rainwater pass through, preventing standing water and reducing flood risk. Using specialised resins and aggregates, such surfaces enable natural water dispersion—essential for sustainable outdoor areas in the UK.
How do I choose the right binder for my surface?
If you are using white or light-coloured stones, a non-yellowing polyurethane binder such as Polirock is the best choice. For coloured pebbles, low-yellowing epoxy binders included in kits like Flowstone provide lasting colour protection.
Which primer should I use before installing a slip resistant resin-bound surface?
The Epoxyprimer water-based two-component primer is excellent for preparing concrete, timber, screed or tiled surfaces. It ensures a durable bond and an even application for your top layer.
Are permeable and slip resistant surfaces suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, when installed using resilient binders and aggregates from ResinPro, these surfaces withstand pedestrian and light vehicle traffic. Both Flowstone and Polirock-bound pebble systems are recommended for driveways, footpaths, patios and even car parks.
How can I simplify the clean-up after resin application?
Use the Silicone Work Mat to safeguard your workspace. Its non-stick, washable surface speeds up tidy-up, preventing resin from adhering to floors or tables.
Can I customise the appearance of my permeable surface?
Absolutely! Use Washed Pebbles in different colours or combine with marble or granite granules for a personalised design.
How long do these resin systems typically last?
Superior longevity is a key benefit: with correct installation using ResinPro binders and primers, surfaces remain slip resistant and weatherproof for many years, minimising costly maintenance.
Should I use a methacrylic resin on all permeable installations?
Resinstone is best for concrete or stamped floors that require sealing and protection. Use resin binders like Polirock for loose stones, and primers for stable substrate prep as needed.
