What makes VUBA Resin Bound Aggregates so great?

Resin bound paving combines natural decorative stones—such as quartz, marble, and gravel—with a high-performance, UV-stable resin. Professionally blended and hand-trowelled, it delivers a smooth, seamless, and fully permeable surface that allows rainwater to drain away naturally.

Perfect for driveways, patios, and pathways, this premium surfacing solution offers:

• Exceptional Durability – Withstands heavy traffic and all weather conditions.
• Low Maintenance – Stays looking pristine with minimal effort.
• Modern Elegance – Instantly boosts kerb appeal and property value.
• SuDS Compliance – Promotes natural drainage, reducing puddles and flood risk.

Premium Resin Binders for Reliable Performance

We supply two high-performance binders, each designed to deliver outstanding results in different conditions:

• UV-Stable Resin Binder – Our best-selling choice, offering exceptional colour stability and weather resistance. When installed by VUBA-approved contractors, it’s backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee of up to 25 years.
• Moisture-Resistant Binder – Specially formulated for damp or high-humidity conditions, ensuring a reliable, durable bond even in challenging environments.

👉 For most UK projects, the UV-Stable Binder is the go-to solution—delivering vibrant colour, superior strength, and long-lasting peace of mind.

Why Choose Binding Quartz for Your Resin Driveway?

Binding Quartz is a premium-grade additive designed to elevate both the look and performance of resin bound paving. Its fine, translucent particles mix effortlessly with aggregates, creating a smoother surface with a refined, subtle sheen.

By preventing dry or sandy patches, Binding Quartz guarantees a consistent, professional finish—resulting in a surface that’s stronger, longer-lasting, and visually striking. The perfect final detail for driveways, patios, and pathways.

Installation Options

VUBA Resin Bound Aggregates can be installed directly over an existing tarmac or asphalt driveway. For the ultimate finish and long-lasting performance, we recommend laying your surface on the award-winning VubaMac base system.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Ground Preparation

If no tarmac or asphalt is present, excavate the area to a minimum depth of 100mm.
Lay a 30mm layer of MOT Type 1 Limestone to form a stable sub-base.

2. Compacting the Base

Distribute the hardcore aggregate evenly across the excavated area.
Compact thoroughly with a Wacker Plate or similar compactor to create a firm, level foundation.

3. First Layer of SRM

For driveways, install the first sheet of Structural Reinforcement Mesh (SRM), cutting it to size where required.
SRM is available in a range of sizes to suit your project.

4. Installing the VubaMac Base

Mix and lay the VubaMac base using a heavy-duty roller (available via the VUBA website).
For best results, follow our detailed VubaMac installation guide.

5. Second Layer of SRM

Place a second sheet of SRM directly over the freshly laid VubaMac base.
Allow the base to cure for approximately 1 hour. During this process, the SRM chemically bonds to the VubaMac—providing long-lasting structural strength for both pedestrian and vehicular use.

6. Mixing Your Resin Kit

Once the base is cured, prepare your chosen VUBA Resin Kit.
Using a heavy-duty mixer, combine the Resin Binder, Aggregates, and Binding Quartz.
Transfer the mix into a lined wheelbarrow, ready for application.

7. Laying the Resin Bound Surface

Apply the resin mix in small sections using a trowel and firm pressure.
Continue to trowel and smooth until the full surface is covered, leaving a seamless, hard-wearing resin bound finish that elevates any property.

💡 We recommend installing your resin surface on the VubaMac Base—proven to deliver over 50% greater strength than traditional asphalt.
