VUBA MacMix
Looking for quicker resin bound installs, reduced costs, and improved performance? Meet MacMix—the latest advancement in the VubaMac system. Each 12.5kg bag of 1–5mm aggregate is added directly into your VubaMac mix, delivering over 10% more coverage per batch, reducing on-site mixing, and cutting overall project costs for contractors.
Ideal for patios, pathways, driveways, and even heavy-traffic areas, MacMix lets you complete projects faster and more economically—without sacrificing strength, finish, or long-term quality.
What Is MacMix?
MacMix is a pre-measured 12.5kg bag of premium 1–5mm aggregate, specially developed to complement the VubaMac resin bound surfacing system. When added to the standard VubaMac mix, it boosts the total aggregate weight from 100kg to 112.5kg and increases the binder from 4kg to 4.5kg.
This simple upgrade extends each kit’s coverage, meaning fewer mixes on-site, faster installation times, and reduced material and labour costs—without compromising quality or performance.

The enhanced VubaMac system with MacMix has been reengineered for greater versatility, efficiency, and performance across a wide range of surfacing applications. Heavy Vehicle Use For driveways, loading bays, and other areas subject to heavy vehicle traffic, the upgraded system uses a 35mm VubaMac layer reinforced with two layers of mesh—one above and one below the surface. This robust build-up ensures exceptional load-bearing strength and long-term durability. Coverage: ~2.15m² per mix Material options: 4 bags of VubaMac + 1 bag of MacMix (12.5kg) Or reuse aggregate waste—either ½ bag of 2–5mm or a 50/50 mix of 2–5mm and 1–3mm (total 12.5kg) Vehicle Use For standard driveways or parking areas, the system is slightly streamlined with a 30mm VubaMac layer, still supported by mesh above and below for strength. Coverage: ~2.6m² per mix Material options: Same as heavy vehicle use Patios & Paths In pedestrian-only areas, such as patios and garden paths, the system is optimised for efficiency with a 15mm VubaMac layer and a single mesh layer underneath. Coverage: Up to 5m² per mix Material options: 4 x VubaMac + 1 x MacMix (12.5kg) Or 2 x VubaMac + 2 x 2–5mm (25kg) or 1 x 2–5mm (25kg) + 1 x 1–3mm (25kg) + ½ bag of 1–3mm (12.5kg) (Note: second option gives slightly less coverage) Occasional Foot Traffic For decorative areas or light-use garden paths, the simplest option is a 25mm VubaSurface layer only, with no VubaMac required. Reinforcement: Single mesh layer beneath Coverage: ~2.5m² per mix VubaMac is a next-generation base layer designed specifically for resin bound surfacing—combining flexibility, ultra-durability, and eco-friendly innovation. Unlike conventional sub-bases that are retrofitted for resin use, VubaMac creates a monolithic bond with the resin bound surface when applied within the recommended intercoat period. The result? The first fully integrated resin bound system on the market. Recommended Build-Up for Maximum Performance: These specifications deliver exceptional stability, longevity, and seamless integration—suitable for both residential and commercial projects. Why VubaMac Leads the Way Engineered with advanced permeability technology, VubaMac is the world’s most flood-resistant paving base—built to handle water efficiently while maintaining strength under pressure. Sustainable to the Core Made from 100% repurposed waste aggregate Uses renewable binders for reduced environmental impact Tackles key issues such as CO₂ emissions from concrete and VOC emissions from asphalt No-Dig system preserves existing ground structure, saving millions of kilograms of displaced earth per street and removing the need for traditional drainage systems Stronger, Smarter, Longer-Lasting By forming a single, unified structure with the resin bound surface, VubaMac outperforms asphalt and concrete in both lifespan and resilience. Fast & Efficient Installation Supplied as a complete system from one trusted supplier, VubaMac enables same-day installation—minimising downtime, noise, and disruption. The result is a smooth, quiet, and sustainable paving solution that’s as good for the planet as it is for performance. VubaMac—paving the way to a greener, stronger, and more flood-resilient future. The GrassMac System is a fully engineered solution designed for installation exactly as shown—laid over VUBA’s SRM (Structural Reinforcement Mesh), with artificial grass fitted on top. This innovative base is created on-site by combining recycled aggregate with SBR rubber and binding it with GrassMac resin, producing a semi-flexible, high-performance foundation layer that supports long-lasting, resilient artificial turf installations. The GrassMac System offers a host of benefits, making it a standout choice for artificial grass installations. Its fast installation means you can lay artificial turf the very same day, while its eco-friendly composition—made entirely from recycled materials—supports sustainability. The shock-absorbing base makes it ideal for sports areas and children’s play parks, and with no wastage, leftover materials can be stored for future use. Designed for easy maintenance, GrassMac ensures artificial grass stays well-drained and free from unpleasant odours, and it’s equally easy to clean—simply lift the turf and jet wash as needed. With no subsidence, it guarantees 100% long-term stability, outperforming sand and grano dust bases that often shift over time. Recognised for its innovation, GrassMac proudly holds The King’s Awards for Enterprise Innovation 2025.Read More...
