Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

Maintaining your resin-bound surface not only keeps it looking its best but also extends its lifespan—especially important for lighter finishes where marks and dirt are more visible. With regular care, you’ll preserve both the surface’s clean appearance and its structural integrity.

Pressure Washing: Jet washing is effective for deep cleaning, but it should be done with care:

Keep the lance at a 90° angle to the surface.

Maintain a minimum distance of 300mm to avoid loosening the bound aggregates.

Common Surface Issues & How to Treat Them

Oil, Fuel & Grease Stains

Act quickly to prevent staining:

Blot spills immediately with an absorbent cloth.

For tougher marks, apply an emulsifying degreaser.

Avoid using harsh solvents for extended periods. Contact Vuba for advice on persistent or widespread stains.

Weeds, Moss & Algae

Weed growth from underneath is rare thanks to the permeable base, but surface growth can occur:

Remove visible weeds using a pressure washer.

Apply a biocide or moss cleaner to shaded or damp areas, following the product’s instructions carefully.

Organic Debris (Leaves, Berries, etc.)
Decomposing plant matter can cause staining if left too long. To clean:

Mix:

1.5L sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)

4.5L water

100ml mild, non-oxidising shampoo (e.g., baby shampoo)

Apply with a pump sprayer, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly.

Take care to protect surrounding plants and lawns from chemical runoff.

Rust Stains & Tyre Marks

Rust may result from furniture or natural minerals in the aggregate. Use a non-acidic rust remover as directed.

Tyre tracks can often be removed with steam or a solution of hot water and mild detergent, scrubbed with a stiff brush.

Long-Term Care for Best Results

Sweep regularly to remove debris.

Power wash seasonally to maintain a fresh look.

Treat stains early to prevent long-term damage.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

Resin-bound driveways are redefining outdoor living with a sleek, modern aesthetic backed by impressive durability and everyday practicality. As a cutting-edge alternative to traditional surfaces like Sandstone, Limestone, Porcelain, or Composite Decking, here’s why more homeowners are making the switch:

Eco-Friendly & Fully Permeable

Resin-bound surfaces are Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) compliant, allowing rainwater to soak naturally into the ground. This helps prevent surface runoff, reduces flood risk, and supports groundwater replenishment—all while delivering a high-performance, hardwearing finish.

Engineered for Long-Term Resilience

Designed to withstand the demands of daily life, resin-bound driveways resist cracking, frost, weed growth, and algae buildup. Their robust nature makes them perfect for high-traffic areas like driveways, footpaths, patios, and courtyards.

Low Maintenance, Year-Round Beauty

Forget the constant upkeep. These driveways require no sealing, sanding, or chemical treatments. Occasional sweeping and occasional low-pressure washing are all that’s needed to maintain their clean, polished appearance.

Slip-Resistant & Safe

Built with safety in mind, resin-bound surfaces offer superb grip—even when wet or icy—making them ideal for families with children, older adults, or anyone concerned about secure footing on sloped or exposed surfaces.

 Customisable Style Options

With a wide selection of aggregate colours, textures, and sizes, you can design a finish that suits your home—whether you prefer minimalist, modern tones or traditional styles that complement period properties. The design flexibility is unmatched.

Weed-Free & Seamless

The joint-free, continuous surface not only looks cleaner and more elegant, but it also blocks weed growth and eliminates movement or cracking between joints—common issues with other paving options.

UV-Stable & Fade-Resistant

Thanks to UV-stabilised resin, your surface stays vibrant and attractive over time. Even in full sun, colours won’t fade or dull—ensuring long-lasting visual appeal.

Fast, Fuss-Free Installation

Most resin-bound driveways can be installed and cured within 24 to 48 hours, transforming your outdoor space with minimal disruption and immediate impact.

Adds Long-Term Value

While the initial investment may be higher than some traditional paving options, resin-bound driveways offer long-term savings through lower maintenance, extended durability, and improved kerb appeal—making them a wise investment for your property.
