The Stone Carpet Terrace
Why Choose Pierre's Carpet for Your Patio?
A natural extension of your home, the patio is the heart of your moments of relaxation and socializing outdoors. To combine the charm of natural stonewith unparalleled comfort, stone carpet (or stone tiles) stands out as the ultimate high-end flooring option. Discover how to transform your patio into an attractive, durable space that’s easy to enjoy every day.
Unlike traditional flooring materials, stone carpet combines natural marble aggregates with a high-performance polyurethane resin. This combination offers unique qualities:
- 100% permeable structure: Water naturally seeps through the surface (up to 50 L/m²/second). No more standing water after rain or risk of slipping. Highly effective in making surfaces permeable.
- Thermal comfort when walking barefoot: Marble maintains a comfortable temperature, even in strong summer sunlight, preventing the “burning” sensation often associated with dark tiles or concrete.
- Natural anti-slip properties: The slightly textured surface ensures optimal traction for the whole family, even when the floor is wet.
- Extreme weather resistance: With its UV-protective treatment, the stone carpet does not yellow, does not crack in freezing temperatures, and withstands temperature fluctuations perfectly.
- Easy Maintenance: A simple, occasional cleaning with a water jet or a scrub brush is all it takes to keep your floor looking its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about the installation, cost, or maintenance of stone carpet? Find answers to the most common questions here.
Do I need planning permission to build a new patio?
For most patio renovation projects, no planning permission is required. If Resin Bound Stone is installed over an existing patio or concrete slab without changing its footprint or overall dimensions, there is generally no planning application to make. However, if you are creating a completely new patio, we recommend checking the local planning regulations that apply to your property.
Can Resin Bound Stone be installed over existing tiles or concrete?
Yes, Resin Bound Stone can be installed over certain existing surfaces, provided the substrate is stable, sound, clean and sufficiently well bonded. Depending on its condition, the surface may require preparation before installation to ensure long-term adhesion and durability. A professional assessment of the existing substrate will determine the most suitable preparation method.
Does Resin Bound Stone become too hot to walk on in summer?
No, Resin Bound Stone remains comfortable under bare feet. Thanks to the natural thermal properties of marble aggregate and its open, permeable structure, the surface does not retain heat in the same way as dark paving or smooth concrete. Even during hot summer weather, it provides a comfortable surface for walking barefoot.
How do you maintain Resin Bound Stone?
Resin Bound Stone is relatively easy to maintain. Regular cleaning with water is usually enough to remove dust, dirt and everyday debris. For more thorough cleaning, a low-pressure pressure washer can be used, following the recommendations provided by the manufacturer and installer.
How long does Resin Bound Stone last?
When professionally installed and properly maintained, Resin Bound Stone can retain its appearance and performance for many years. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the materials, preparation of the substrate, exposure to weather conditions and the quality of the installation.
