Questions

How It Works

  • How many aggregate colors can be blended in one surface?

    Most installations use two to four aggregate grades blended to a set ratio. More than four colors in a single mix risks uneven distribution as the resin cures. The contractor confirms the maximum blend for your chosen aggregates in the written scope before any material is ordered.

  • Can a border inlay use a different aggregate from the main field?

    Yes. A contrasting border uses a separate aggregate grade laid against a temporary edge guide before the main field is poured. The inlay width and aggregate color are both specified in writing so the two sections meet cleanly at the boundary.

  • What happens if the finished color looks different from the sample?

    The written scope records the exact aggregate blend ratio and the sample reference. If the cured surface falls outside that specification, the named installer is accountable to the documented scope. That written record is the reason nothing is mixed until the spec is signed off.

  • Does Boulder’s altitude affect how the resin cures?

    High altitude means stronger UV and lower air pressure, both of which affect cure time. The contractor selects a resin binder formulated for Front Range conditions and schedules the pour to avoid temperature swings that slow or accelerate the cure unevenly.

  • Is a custom resin surface still permeable?

    Yes. Resin-bound surfaces are permeable regardless of the aggregate blend or border pattern. Stormwater passes through the stone matrix to the sub-base below, keeping the installation SUDS-compliant even with decorative inlays.

  • What if I delay getting the design locked in?

    Delaying the written sign-off pushes the installation date and risks the selected aggregate batch being unavailable. Aggregate blends are batch-matched, so a gap between specification and order can mean a slightly different stone color in the next available batch.
