Yes. Résineo offers more than 25 colours of natural marble chippings. You can choose a finish that matches your façade, your terrace or the other features in your garden.

Like all outdoor floor coverings, stone carpet becomes hot when exposed to the sun. However, light colours absorb less heat and are more comfortable to walk on barefoot than many traditional floor coverings, such as concrete or certain types of tiles.

Yes. Thanks to its drainage structure and slightly textured surface, this cladding reduces the risk of slipping when the steps are wet. It is a solution particularly well suited to outdoor staircases exposed to the elements.

To install the stone carpet, it must not be raining and the surface must be dry (with a moisture content in line with regulations). Depending on the size of the project, the installation of the flooring will take more or less time.

For a medium-sized project (80 m²), the work will take between 3 and 5 days. Once the installation is complete, you will need to wait 24 hours for it to dry before walking on the floor, or 48 hours before a car can drive over it.

Résineo coatings are applied exclusively by outdoor design professionals who have been trained and certified by us. It is a technical coating that can be applied to a wide variety of substrates, such as natural stone, tiles, concrete and also GNT. In fact, that is one of its advantages. In the case of refurbishment, it can be applied directly onto tiles.

Please note: the coverings offered by manufacturers do not all have the same composition. Stone carpets are made up of resin and various types of marble aggregate.

Résineo is a manufacturer specialising in the formulation of bespoke resins. The installation, meanwhile, is carried out by partner applicators.

For your information, these are the materials we use to manufacture our cladding:

Resins: the resins used vary considerably; some use so-called epoxy resins, others polyurethane resins, and others – such as ourselves – polyurethane-based resins that have been enhanced to meet the requirements of long-term outdoor use.

Epoxy resins have the advantage of being inexpensive; however, they are not very weather-resistant and tend to yellow when exposed to UV rays. Hybrid-based resins, on the other hand, are UV- and weather-resistant, although they are slightly more expensive.

The stone: the aggregate may be rounded or crushed. It is often sourced from French, Spanish or Italian marble quarries. Its quality is very important, as it has a significant impact on the mechanical strength of our cladding.

Résineo carefully selects the stone for its hardness and unique colour. You can choose the colour of the stone depending on its intended use: black or grey for paths accessible to vehicles, and lighter shades, such as white or sand, for pool areas, for example.

Maintenance is very straightforward. In most cases, it is sufficient to sweep it regularly and rinse it with a jet of water. A more thorough clean can be carried out once or twice a year to refresh the appearance of the surface.
