About Resineo
The Exterior Floor System Designed for Performance, Beauty, and Longevity
Resineo is a high-performance draining floor system combining two elements: a transparent polyurethane resin binder and natural marble or quartz gravel aggregate. The result is a continuous, joint-free outdoor surface that drains up to 50 litres of water per second per m² — eliminating pooling, algae, and moss — while providing a warm, natural aesthetic that tile, stone, wood, and concrete simply cannot match.
Developed since 2013 by LRVision — a company founded by two PhDs in civil engineering from the University of Toulouse — Resineo is the only French manufacturer of this type of resin aggregate system. It is CSTB certified (the French equivalent of CE marking for construction products), ATEX technically certified, and carries a 10-year product guarantee. It has been deployed in pools, terraces, hotel spaces, campsites, and private villas across France, Spain, Dubai, and beyond.
For architects and interior designers specifying exterior surfaces on the Costa del Sol, Resineo offers something no standard material can: a genuinely sustainable, long-lasting, maintenance-free floor that performs beautifully in the Mediterranean climate and can be custom-specified for every project.

Where It Performs
Applications — Every Exterior Surface, Specified to Perfection
Resineo is engineered exclusively for outdoor use. It covers every exterior surface in a high-specification Mediterranean property — from the pool deck to the approach road — with the same seamless, draining, maintenance-free finish throughout.
Pool Surrounds · Pool Decks · Wet Areas
Swimming Pool Surrounds
The most demanding outdoor surface application — and where Resineo truly excels. Drains instantly so the deck is never slippery. Stays cool underfoot in 35°C+ heat. Chemical and chlorine resistant. No expansion joints to crack or trip on.
The natural aggregate surface feels warm and organic underfoot, unlike cold tile or harsh concrete, and integrates beautifully with the landscape and pool design.
Best for: private villa pools, hotel pools, wellness resort pool terraces, communal residential pools.
Terraces · Outdoor Living · Al Fresco Dining
Terraces & Outdoor Living Spaces
The outdoor terrace is the centrepiece of Mediterranean life — and it deserves a floor that matches the quality of the interiors. Resineo creates seamless, continuous terrace surfaces that flow from pool to dining area to garden without joints or transitions.
The natural stone palette integrates with any architectural style, from contemporary white villas to traditional Andalusian fincas. Rain drains immediately; the surface is ready in minutes.
Best for: villa terraces, hotel outdoor dining, rooftop terraces, covered outdoor lounges.
Garden Paths · Walkways · Landscaping
Garden Paths & Landscaping
A Resineo garden path makes a considered statement in any landscape design. The natural stone aggregate surface looks as if it belongs in the garden — warm, textured, organic — rather than imposed on it. Curves and irregular shapes are no problem: Resineo adapts to any form.
The porous structure means rainwater soaks through rather than running off, reducing erosion and supporting healthy soil moisture around planting. Erosion resistant and driveable for golf carts and light vehicles.
Best for: estate garden paths, botanical gardens, courtyard walkways, spa approaches.
Driveways · Vehicle Access · Approach Roads
Driveways & Vehicle Access
Resineo supports vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes — covering the approach roads and parking areas of most private villas and boutique hotels. A seamless driveway in Resineo makes an immediate impression at the entrance to a property.
It eliminates the gravel-scatter and weed problems of loose aggregate, the cracking of asphalt, and the staining problems of plain concrete — while delivering a surface that looks intentional, refined, and completely at home in a luxury Costa del Sol setting.
Best for: private villa driveways, boutique hotel approaches, residential community access roads.
Patios · Courtyards · Enclosed Outdoor Spaces
Patios & Courtyards
The enclosed courtyard — a defining element of Andalusian architecture — becomes a showcase space with Resineo underfoot. Its warm tones and porous, natural texture complement traditional whitewashed walls and terracotta pots without competing with them. The draining structure handles sudden summer downpours without puddles.
Custom colour mixes allow the patio floor to be precisely matched to the architectural palette of the surrounding building.
Best for: traditional Andalusian courtyards, hotel interior gardens, villa outdoor dining rooms.

Why Resineo Is the Ideal Choice for the Costa del Sol Climate
The Costa del Sol presents specific performance demands that rule out many conventional exterior floor materials. Resineo was engineered to meet exactly these conditions — and it does so better than any alternative currently available.
UV Resistance in Intense Andalusian Sun
The polyurethane resin binder is UV-stable — it does not yellow, fade, or degrade under the prolonged intense sunlight of southern Spain. The natural stone aggregate retains its colour for the lifetime of the installation. No fading. No chalking. No surface breakdown.
Cool Underfoot in Summer Heat
Unlike dark tiles, granite, or asphalt — which absorb and radiate heat making them painful to walk on barefoot — Resineo's aggregate structure allows air circulation within the surface. In light colours, it remains comfortable underfoot even at 35–40°C ambient temperature. Critical for pool surrounds and children's play areas.
Instant Drainage After Rain or Pool Splash
The Costa del Sol receives intense short-burst rainfall in autumn and spring. Resineo's draining structure evacuates water at up to 50L/m²/second — meaning the surface is dry and safe within seconds. No puddles, no algae formation, no slipping risk. This is its single greatest technical advantage over every competing material.
No Algae or Moss in Humid Coastal Conditions
Properties near the sea on the Costa del Sol face persistent humidity. Conventional stone, tile, and concrete surfaces develop algae and moss growth requiring chemical treatment. Resineo's resin surface does not allow algae or moss to adhere — the surface stays clean and safe without chemical intervention throughout the year.
Salt Air and Coastal Weather Resistant
Marine salt air accelerates corrosion and degradation in many building materials. Resineo's polyurethane resin is inert to salt and coastal humidity. Its chemical resistance means it performs identically whether the property is 200m from the beach or 5km inland — no special treatment or protective coatings required.
Sustainable — Longer Life, Less Replacement
The single most sustainable decision in material specification is choosing something that lasts. Resineo's 10-year guarantee and real-world lifespan of 20+ years means fewer replacement cycles, less waste, and less construction disruption over the life of a property — a genuinely better environmental outcome than tiling or decking every 8–10 years.
Material Comparison

Experience Resineo at Viluz Wellbeing Resort
Rather than asking you to judge this material from a brochure or a showroom tile, we invite you to see Resineo in daily use in one of the most carefully considered outdoor spaces on the Costa del Sol.
Viluz Wellbeing Resort in Mijas — a boutique luxury retreat with ten deluxe rooms, yoga temple, hammam, and four hectares of private Mediterranean garden — features Resineo surfaces on its outdoor terraces and garden paths. This is the material performing under real conditions: the intense southern Spanish sun, coastal humidity, guests walking barefoot to and from the pool, and the aesthetic standards of a five-star wellness environment.
For architects and designers working on high-specification projects on the Costa del Sol, a visit to Viluz is the most reliable way to understand what this material actually looks, feels, and performs like in a demanding real-world setting.
Built to Last
Resineo and Sustainable Material Specification
For architects and developers with sustainability commitments, Resineo offers a genuinely better environmental outcome than the conventional exterior flooring materials it replaces.
Natural Materials 🪨
98% of the visible surface is natural marble or quartz stone aggregate — a mineral material that does not off-gas, degrade, or release microplastics. The polyurethane binder is inert once cured.
20+ Year Lifespan ⏳
The single most important factor in sustainable material choice is longevity. A Resineo installation lasts 20+ years with minimal maintenance — eliminating 2–3 replacement cycles that tiles, decking, or concrete would require in the same period.
Permeable Structure 💧
Water drains through Resineo into the substrate rather than running off as surface water. This reduces erosion, supports soil moisture retention, and minimises stormwater impact — an important consideration for large landscaped estates.
No Chemical Maintenance 🧪
Because algae and moss cannot adhere to Resineo, no biocides or chemical treatments are needed during its lifetime. This eliminates a source of chemical runoff that is a persistent problem with stone, tile, and wood exterior surfaces.
Applied Over Existing Surfaces 🏗️
Resineo is applied directly over existing concrete, asphalt, or tile without demolition. This eliminates the waste, disruption, and carbon cost of removing and disposing of the existing floor — a significant benefit in renovation projects.
French Engineering, Short Supply Chain 🇫🇷
Manufactured in Toulouse by LRVision, with rigorous internal quality control and external CSTB certification. Short supply chain from factory to project site across Western Europe, including Spain — lower logistics emissions than materials sourced from Asia.
