Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

To keep your VUBA resin-bound surface looking its best, regular cleaning is recommended—particularly for lighter colours where dirt and marks are more noticeable. Power washing is effective, but always hold the lance at a 90-degree angle and keep it at least 300mm from the surface to avoid disturbing the aggregates.

Oil, Dirt & Debris

Oil spills, especially from fuel or lubricants, can soak into the surface quickly. Blot spills immediately with an absorbent material to prevent staining. For tougher marks, use an emulsifying degreaser. Avoid frequent use of harsh solvents, and for persistent stains, contact VUBA for specialist advice.

Weeds, Moss & Lichen

Although a permeable membrane beneath the resin helps prevent weeds from growing underneath, surface weeds may still appear and can be easily removed with a jet wash. In shaded or damp areas, moss, algae, or lichen may develop—use suitable treatments as recommended by the manufacturer to control growth.

Fruit, Berries & Leaves

Fallen leaves and fruit can stain if left for too long, so remove debris promptly to prevent discolouration. For existing stains, mix 1.5 litres of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) with 4.5 litres of water and 100ml of a non-oxidising shampoo (such as baby shampoo). Apply evenly, scrub gently with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly—ensuring runoff does not affect nearby plants.

Rust & Tyre Marks

Rust may form from metal items like BBQs or hanging baskets, or occasionally from naturally occurring pyrite within the aggregates. Use a non-acidic rust remover following the manufacturer’s instructions. Tyre marks can usually be removed with steam cleaning or by scrubbing with hot water and detergent.

By following these simple maintenance tips, your VUBA resin-bound surface will stay clean, vibrant, and in excellent condition for many years to come.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

Choosing resin-bound aggregates for your driveway delivers an impressive mix of practicality and visual appeal—making it a standout alternative to traditional materials such as Sandstone, Limestone, Porcelain, or Composite decking. Here’s why resin-bound surfacing continues to grow in popularity:

Permeable & Eco-Friendly

Resin-bound driveways are fully permeable, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the surface. This SuDS-compliant system helps prevent standing water and reduces flood risk while supporting natural groundwater replenishment.

Durable & Long-Lasting

Built for strength, resin-bound surfaces comfortably handle heavy vehicle traffic without cracking or breaking down. They’re resistant to frost damage, weeds, moss, and algae—keeping your driveway strong and attractive year after year.

Low Maintenance

Simple upkeep is one of resin-bound’s biggest advantages. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing are usually all that’s needed. The smooth finish prevents dirt buildup, making cleaning quick and easy.

Slip-Resistant

Naturally slip-resistant, resin-bound surfaces offer excellent grip in wet or icy conditions—making them a safe and reliable choice for driveways and pathways in all seasons.

Stylish & Versatile

Available in a wide range of colours and aggregate blends, resin-bound surfacing allows you to customise your driveway to suit your home’s style. The sleek, modern finish instantly enhances kerb appeal.

Seamless, Weed-Resistant Finish

The smooth, joint-free surface eliminates gaps where weeds normally grow, delivering a clean, refined look that stays neat for longer than traditional paving.

UV Stable

UV-stable resins prevent fading, ensuring your driveway keeps its rich colour and fresh appearance for many years to come.

Fast Installation

Most resin-bound surfaces can be installed quickly and are often ready for use within 24–48 hours, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Excellent Long-Term Value

While the initial cost may be higher than some traditional materials, resin-bound driveways offer outstanding value thanks to their longevity, minimal maintenance, and lasting visual appeal.

Final Thoughts

Resin-bound aggregates combine modern style, durability, and eco-friendly performance in one smart solution. With low upkeep and long-lasting beauty, they’re an ideal choice for creating a driveway that enhances your home for years to come.
