Frequently Asked Questions

StoneSet is a resin bound paving system. High-quality, clean stone is mixed on-site with a UV-stable polyurethane resin to create a seamless, durable, and sustainable surface.

• Overlay paving: Perfect for refreshing tired concrete or asphalt, without the need for excavation.
• Porous paving: 100% permeable, allowing water to soak through and reducing puddles, run-off, and trip hazards.

• Sustainable, using locally sourced stone and recycled glass.
• Slip resistant, durable, and low maintenance.
• Designed to last over 25 years with a 10-year guarantee on installed projects.
• Customisable colours and finishes to match your project.

Yes. StoneSet can be engineered to handle vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses.

Installed StoneSet comes with a 10-year guarantee and is designed to last in excess of 25 years.

The surface resin naturally weathers, leaving the stone’s natural finish visible. A gloss coat can be applied during or after installation if you prefer a permanent glossy look.

Yes. StoneSet requires minimal maintenance and can be cleaned with mild detergent, a brush, or a pressure washer.

We supply and install StoneSet across New Zealand.

Yes. Both new and existing concrete are suitable bases. New concrete must cure for at least 28 days, and old concrete must be free from movement cracks.

All joints must be reflected through the finished StoneSet surface. Saw cuts or neoprene joints can be used, and mastic may be added for flexibility.

Yes, provided the base is strong (concrete, asphalt, or no-fines concrete). It is best suited to straight driveways with minimal turning. Always allow at least 72 hours for curing.

The resin is designed to last 5+ years, but with good installation and a stable base, a DIY project could last 10 years or more.

No. The 10-year guarantee applies only to professionally installed StoneSet projects.

Yes. For larger batches, use a force action screed mixer (up to 4 kits at once). For smaller areas, a high-torque drill with whisk attachment works well.

Once cured, the resin is completely inert and safe. In liquid form, it should be handled with gloves and a mask, following the safety data sheet.

Typical delivery time for DIY Kits is 5–10 days.

Orders are processed the next business day and usually arrive within 3–10 days. Tracking details are provided by text message.

It can, but binding gravel in place is easier. For pre-mixed applications, we recommend StoneSet DIY Kits where the stone quality can be controlled.

No. Gravel should be a single size between 6–20mm, clean, and free of dust or fines.

Not ideal for heavy traffic. For driveways, we recommend our full StoneSet installation service, which comes with a 10-year guarantee.

The binder has a design life of 5+ years. Longevity depends on the quality of gravel, installation, and level of use.

No. The surface gloss weathers within 3–6 months, leaving the natural stone colour visible. The binding resin below the surface remains unaffected.

Once cured, it is completely inert and environmentally safe. In liquid form, always use gloves and a mask, and read the safety data sheet.

Because industry standards measure resin by weight. For example, 1kg of clear Pour On equals 0.96 litres at 25°C.
