Stone Carpet Spain publishes practical information about resin-bound flooring for properties in Spain. This policy explains how that information is researched, what evidence sits behind technical statements and how commercial interests are handled.
The site covers material selection, substrates, drainage, installation, maintenance and the suitability of resin-bound systems for different exterior settings. It is written for property owners, communities, hospitality businesses, contractors and professional specifiers. It is not a substitute for a project-specific survey, engineered design or the current instructions for a selected product.
What we aim to publish
Our purpose is to help readers understand what needs to be assessed before resin-bound flooring is specified or purchased in Spain.
That means explaining the limits as well as the benefits. A porous surface does not make every construction permeable. A UV-stable binder does not prevent every aggregate from changing in appearance. A slip-resistance result for one tested system does not establish the performance of every resin-bound floor. An overlay cannot correct movement or defective drainage simply by covering it.
We avoid presenting resin-bound flooring as suitable for every site. Where another construction, a substantial repair or specialist advice may be required, the content should say so.
Readers who are new to the subject can begin with what resin-bound flooring is. Project-specific design considerations are set out in the technical specification framework.
How technical claims are handled
Technical statements should retain the conditions that make them meaningful. These can include the named product, substrate, installation depth, aggregate grading, test method, curing conditions and intended use.
We do not apply a result from one proprietary system to an unidentified product. Figures for slip resistance, permeability, strength, temperature limits, curing time or service life are published only when the supporting documentation and relevant conditions can be stated accurately.
Words such as “non-slip”, “maintenance-free”, “weed-proof”, “crack-proof” and “guaranteed not to fade” are avoided as general descriptions. They remove qualifications that can materially affect a purchasing decision.
Where content discusses Spanish building requirements or a recognised technical standard, the reference should be identified and checked in its current form. The site does not issue regulatory approvals or certify that a proposed construction complies with a particular project requirement.
Our main technical subjects are collected in the technical resource centre.
Sources and attribution
Research may draw on:
- current technical data sheets, application instructions and safety information
- published test reports and certification where the relevant product can be identified
- official legislation, building regulations and standards
- recognised trade and professional guidance
- manufacturer material used to explain a named proprietary system
Manufacturer information is treated as product-specific evidence. It is attributed where appropriate and is not presented as independent testing by Stone Carpet Spain.
Technical guides should include a short sources section when external documents materially support the article. Source records, publication dates and relevant caveats should also be retained with the working copy. A link alone does not make a claim reliable. The source must support the wording used and its scope must not be enlarged.
Commercial comparison pages should use equivalent criteria for each option. We do not weaken the description of an alternative surface simply to make resin-bound flooring appear preferable.
Product and supplier neutrality
The site may discuss binder chemistry, aggregate blends, primers, reinforcement details and complete surfacing systems. Inclusion does not mean that every product is available, approved or appropriate for a project in Spain.
No manufacturer, supplier or installer is treated as the universal benchmark for the category. If a commercial relationship affects a recommendation or page, that relationship should be disclosed where a reader would reasonably expect to know about it.
Final product selection must be based on the current documents for the system being proposed and the conditions found at the site. Brand substitution should trigger a fresh check of the specification rather than an assumption of equivalence.
Commercial relationship with enquiries
Stone Carpet Spain is a commercial website. It may benefit financially when an enquiry leads to an installation or other commercial arrangement.
That interest does not change the standard applied to published technical information. The site should not describe an enquiry as accepted work, promise coverage that has not been confirmed or imply that a particular installer has assessed a project before that assessment occurs.
Project location, access, substrate, intended use, area and programme are reviewed before availability and the appropriate next step are confirmed. Readers can see how that process begins on the request a quotation page.
English and Spanish publication
The initial resource is published in English. Spanish editions should be adapted for Spanish readers and checked against the same underlying evidence. They should not be literal keyword-led translations.
Where an English page is translated, both versions should communicate the same material limitations and commercial disclosures. A translation must not make a claim stronger, simpler or more certain than its source page.
Spanish technical and legal terminology should be checked in context. Similar everyday terms can describe different products or construction methods, particularly when resin-bound and resin-bonded surfacing are discussed.
Reviews and updates
Technical pages display a last reviewed date separately from their original publication date. A review date should change only when the page has been checked. A substantive update may include a revised standard, new product documentation, a corrected technical statement or a material improvement to the explanation.
Pages are updated at their existing URLs wherever possible. Minor formatting changes do not justify a new review date and an old article should not be republished under a new address merely to appear recent.
If a cited document is withdrawn or materially revised, the affected claim should be reassessed. Information that can no longer be supported should be qualified, corrected or removed.
Corrections
We correct factual errors when they are identified. A correction should address the substance of the problem and any connected pages that repeat the same claim.
Material corrections should be recorded on the affected page with a brief explanation and date. Spelling, formatting and non-substantive wording changes do not normally require a public correction note.
Questions about a claim should identify the page, the wording concerned and the evidence that may require it to be reconsidered. They can be submitted through the contact page.
Scope of the information
Published content provides general information. Site conditions can change the appropriate specification even where two projects appear similar.
Movement, moisture, contamination, weak substrates, falls, drainage outlets, thresholds, vehicle loading, pool chemicals and coastal exposure can all affect the decision. The selected system's current documentation and a competent site assessment take priority over a general article.
This policy will develop as the resource, product evidence and operational coverage develop. Changes that materially alter how technical or commercial content is handled should be reflected on this page and in the pages affected.
- Check comparisons for fair treatment of alternative materials.
- Confirm commercial disclosures are clear where they are relevant.
- Verify internal and external links.
- Add the visible publication and last reviewed dates.
- Retain the research record with the source copy.
