Why Choose VUBA Resin Bound Aggregates?

Resin bound paving is a premium surfacing solution that combines decorative stones—such as quartz, gravel, and marble—with a UV-stable, high-performance resin. Expertly mixed and hand-trowelled, it creates a smooth, seamless, and fully permeable finish that allows rainwater to drain naturally.

Perfect for resin driveways, patios, and pathways, this modern paving system offers:

• Exceptional Durability – Withstands heavy traffic and all weather conditions.

• Low Maintenance – Stays clean and fresh with minimal upkeep.

• Contemporary Style – Instantly boosts kerb appeal and property value.

• SuDS Compliance – Supports natural drainage, reducing puddles and flood risk.

Premium Resin Binders for Lasting Results

Stone Zone supplies two industry-leading binders to suit different site conditions:

• UV-Stable Resin Binder – Our best-selling option, delivering long-lasting colour stability and weather protection. Installed by VUBA-approved contractors, it comes with up to a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

• Moisture-Resistant Binder – Designed for damp or humid environments, ensuring a strong, durable bond.

For most UK installations, the UV-Stable Resin Binder is the top choice, offering vibrant colour, maximum strength, and reliable performance for years to come.

Why Choose Binding Quartz for Your Resin Driveway?

Binding Quartz is a premium additive designed to elevate both the look and performance of resin bound surfaces. Its fine, translucent particles blend seamlessly into the aggregate mix, creating a smoother finish with a subtle, eye-catching sheen. By preventing dry or sandy patches, Binding Quartz guarantees a polished, professional result—delivering a durable, high-end surface every time.

Recommended Base

VUBA Resin Bound Aggregates can be laid directly onto an existing tarmac or asphalt driveway, but for maximum durability we recommend installing onto the award-winning VubaMac base system.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Ground

   • If you don’t already have a tarmac or asphalt base, excavate your area to a depth of at least 100mm.

   • Add a 30mm layer of MOT Type 1 Limestone to create a strong foundation.

2. Lay and Compact Hardcore

   • Spread your hardcore aggregate evenly and level it.

   • Compact the base using a plate compactor (Wacker Plate).

3. Install SRM (Structural Reinforcement Mesh)

   • For driveways, lay the first layer of SRM.

   • Cut to size as required—available in a range of sizes to suit your project.

4. Apply the VubaMac Base

   • Mix and lay your VubaMac base using a heavy-duty roller (available on the VUBA website).

   • For detailed tips, see VubaMac installation guides.

5. Add Second SRM Layer

   • Lay your final layer of SRM over the VubaMac base.

   • Allow 1 hour to cure, creating a chemically bonded structure ideal for vehicles and foot traffic.

6. Mix and Apply Resin Kit

   • Use a heavy-duty mixer to combine the Resin Binder, Aggregates, and Binding Quartz.

   • Decant into a lined wheelbarrow and pour onto the cured base.

7. Trowel and Finish

   • Using a trowel and firm pressure, spread the mix in small batches.

   • Repeat until the entire area is covered, leaving a smooth, seamless resin bound surface that’s durable, stylish, and SuDS-compliant.

We recommend installing your Resin Surfaces on VUBA VubaMac Base; which provides over 50% higher strength than asphalt.
