Resin technology and products

The core of StoneSet's offering is its resin technology, which combines high-quality polyurethane resin with consistently graded aggregates. Its products include:

• UVR Premium Resin: high-performance polyurethane resin, with a 10-year guarantee against loose stone, delamination and discolouration.
• Drainage Matrix Binder: binder for drainage matrices.
• 1K DIY Resin: one-component resin for DIY applications.
• Pour On Gravel Binder: surface-applied gravel binder, also available in a Light version.
• VertiStone: vertical cladding system.

These products are sold through the company's online shop and are aimed at both professionals and individuals.

Applications and services

StoneSet structures its activity into three main areas:

• Permeable paving for architecture and commercial projects: systems that facilitate rainwater management and align with water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) principles.
• Resurfacing: renovation of existing surfaces, such as concrete or tiles, reducing construction and demolition waste and increasing project efficiency.
• Home solutions: residential transformations to meet regulations, reduce maintenance or improve aesthetics with natural stone.
• DIY: a range of products for homeowners and landscapers that allows renovating worn concrete or stabilising loose gravel.

The company also offers installation services through its network of approved installers, as well as technical resources, case studies and continuing professional development (CPD) for architects, builders and local authorities.

Technical characteristics

StoneSet surfaces have outstanding technical properties:

• Permeability: drainage capacity in excess of 60 litres per square metre per second, which contributes to flood mitigation and reduction of urban heating.
• Flexibility and strength: they absorb ground movement and are designed to withstand vehicular loads without cracking.
• Versatile design: a wide range of colours and the possibility of creating custom patterns.
• Guarantee: 10 years against loose stone, delamination and resin discolouration.

The company states that its systems work in extreme weather conditions, from intense UV radiation to cold climates.

History and team

StoneSet was founded by siblings Andy and Tori Newton, who grew up in the resin-bound paving industry. Their father, Michael Newton, co-founded SureSet Paving in the United Kingdom in 1997, which gave them early experience in the development of this technology. Andy Newton brings decades of experience in resin formula design and has been involved in the installation of large areas of paving in Australia. Tori Newton has more than 25 years in the industry and leads training activities and CPD presentations for professionals. The StoneSet team is made up of specialists with experience in various fields, including stock management, hospitality, engineering, construction and commercial account management.

Commitment to sustainability and the community

The company highlights its focus on sustainability through products that facilitate water management and reduce environmental impact. It also recognises and respects the First Peoples of Australia, paying tribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their elders, the traditional custodians of the land.
