What makes ResinGem ideal for pool decks and patios?

ResinGem® is designed for outdoor living: it’s water-permeable (no puddles), slip-resistant, and delivers a refined natural stone finish that feels comfortable underfoot—perfect for pool decks, patios, and backyards.

Is ResinGem slip-resistant when wet?

Yes. The natural stone texture provides excellent slip resistance, making ResinGem a strong choice around pools and outdoor living spaces.

Will ResinGem get too hot in summer?

ResinGem performs well in hot climates. Its breathable, permeable structure helps reduce heat buildup compared to fully sealed surfaces.

Is ResinGem a replacement for cool deck / spray deck / acrylic pool deck?

Yes—many homeowners choose ResinGem instead of cool deck, spray deck, or acrylic systems because ResinGem is not a paint-like coating. It’s a resin-bound surface system: natural stone fully bound into a seamless, breathable layer designed for outdoor use.

Is ResinGem comfortable for bare feet?

In most residential settings, yes. The surface has natural stone texture and is designed to be comfortable underfoot compared to many rough or brittle outdoor coatings. (Exact feel depends on stone blend and finish.)

Does ResinGem prevent puddles around pools?

ResinGem is water-permeable, so water drains through the surface (when installed on a compatible base with proper drainage design), which helps reduce puddling compared to sealed surfaces.

What is a resin-bound surface?

A resin-bound surface is created by mixing natural stone aggregates with a high-performance resin binder and applying it as a seamless, water-permeable layer.

What are the main benefits of choosing resin-bound?

Seamless luxury look, water-permeable drainage, slip resistance, long-term durability, low maintenance, and flexible design options (colors, borders, inlays).

Is ResinGem an epoxy coating?

No. ResinGem is not an epoxy coating or paint-on system. It is a resin-bound surface system that uses an advanced polyurethane binder to fully bind natural stone aggregates into a permeable, seamless layer designed for outdoor performance.

Where can ResinGem be used?

Common uses include driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, courtyards, entry areas, and many commercial/public walkways. The right base and thickness depend on traffic load and site conditions.

Can ResinGem be installed over existing concrete or asphalt?

In many cases, yes—if the base is structurally sound. A site evaluation confirms suitability, preparation needs, and drainage performance.

When should ResinGem NOT be installed over existing concrete?

If the existing slab is unstable, severely cracked, heaved, sinking, or has drainage/base failures, overlaying is not recommended. A site evaluation determines whether repairs, partial replacement, or a new base is required.

Do you need demolition?

Not always. Many projects can be completed without full demolition when the base is sound. However, if the base is failing, removal and rebuild may be necessary for long-term performance.

What thickness is typical for ResinGem?

Thickness depends on application and base. Walkways/patios often use thinner systems, while driveways typically require greater thickness and stronger base prep. Your installer will recommend the appropriate system after evaluation.

How long does installation take?

Most residential projects are completed in 2–3 days, depending on size, prep needs, and weather conditions.

How soon can I walk or drive on it?

Light foot traffic is often possible within about 24 hours, and vehicles typically after 48–72 hours. Exact cure times depend on weather, thickness, and system used—your installer will confirm on site.

Does weather affect installation?

Yes. Installation requires appropriate temperatures and dry conditions. Your authorized partner will schedule for best results.

Can ResinGem be installed on slopes?

In many cases, yes. The correct method depends on slope degree, drainage design, and edge containment details. A site visit confirms feasibility and recommended build.

How does ResinGem compare to concrete driveways?

ResinGem drains water (less puddling), offers a refined natural stone finish, and is designed for long-term outdoor performance with lower ongoing repair needs than many concrete surfaces.

How does ResinGem compare to block paving?

Block paving can shift, sink, and grow weeds between joints. ResinGem is seamless—cleaner look, less maintenance, and better drainage.

Is ResinGem strong enough for vehicles and daily driveway use?

Yes—when installed with the correct base preparation and thickness for driveway loads. The system design is matched to your project (passenger cars, turning areas, slopes, etc.).

Will oil stains show on ResinGem driveways?

Like most light-colored stone surfaces, oil can stain if left untreated. Quick cleanup is recommended. Your installer can also advise on stain-prevention best practices for your stone blend.

Do weeds grow through ResinGem?

Weeds do not grow “through” a properly installed ResinGem surface. Most weeds in traditional paving come from joints and gaps—ResinGem is seamless, so this is greatly reduced. (Weeds can still appear in surrounding soil edges if landscaping is unmanaged.)

How much maintenance does a ResinGem surface require?

Minimal. Routine care is typically rinsing and occasional light pressure washing. No frequent sealing or recoating is required.

Can I pressure wash ResinGem?

Yes—light pressure washing is usually fine. Avoid aggressive tips/settings at very close range. If you’re unsure, ask your installer for recommended settings.

Does ResinGem fade or discolor over time?

ResinGem systems use UV-stable polyurethane binders to help maintain color and appearance under long sun exposure.

How long does a ResinGem surface last?

When properly installed and maintained, ResinGem surfaces are designed to last 20–30 years or more, depending on use and environment.

Does ResinGem support drainage (permeable surface)?

Yes. ResinGem is a permeable surface designed to allow water to drain through (when installed on an appropriate base and with proper drainage planning).

Does ResinGem get slippery with algae or dirt?

Any outdoor surface can become slippery if algae or buildup forms. Routine rinsing and occasional cleaning keeps the texture performing at its best—especially in shaded or damp areas.

How is ResinGem different from epoxy pebble floors?

Many epoxy pebble floors use epoxy resin with ocean pebbles. Epoxy systems are often not naturally UV-stable outdoors, which can lead to yellowing/darkening, brittleness, and frequent recoating.

ResinGem® uses an advanced polyurethane system paired with premium marble aggregates—engineered for outdoor longevity, flexibility, and UV resistance.

Why does ResinGem use polyurethane instead of epoxy?

Polyurethane offers stronger UV stability, better flexibility, and improved performance across temperature changes—ideal for long-term outdoor installations.

Will ResinGem peel like some epoxy coatings?

ResinGem is not a thin topcoat system. It’s a resin-bound surface layer designed for outdoor performance. Like any construction system, long-term success depends on correct base prep, installation, and cure protection.

What colors and design options are available?

ResinGem offers a wide range of natural stone blends, custom combinations, borders, and inlays—designed to stay refined (not busy) while adding identity to your space.

Can you add borders, patterns, or inlays?

Yes. Many projects include clean borders, section breaks, or subtle inlays. ResinGem is designed to look refined and architectural, not “busy.”

Can ResinGem match my home’s style (modern, Mediterranean, traditional)?

Yes. Stone blends can be selected to match warm or cool palettes, modern minimal looks, or classic luxury curb appeal. We’ll recommend blends based on your exterior materials and lighting.

Why choose ResinGem over other resin-bound installers?

ResinGem is delivered through authorized dealers and certified installation partners, built on defined system standards for consistent results—project after project.
