Step-by-Step Installation Guide
If no existing tarmac or asphalt is present, excavate the area to a depth of at least 100mm. Lay a 30mm layer of MOT Type 1 Limestone to form a stable, reliable sub-base.
Spread the hardcore evenly, then compact it thoroughly with a Wacker Plate or similar tool until the foundation is firm, level, and ready for the next stage.
Position the first sheet of Structural Reinforcement Mesh (SRM) for driveways, trimming as required. SRM is available in a range of sizes to suit different project specifications.
Mix and apply the VubaMac base using a heavy-duty roller (available via the VUBA website). For best results, follow the full VubaMac installation guide closely.
Place a second SRM sheet directly onto the freshly laid VubaMac base. Allow roughly one hour for curing—this bonding stage ensures outstanding strength and durability for both foot and vehicle traffic.
Once the base has cured, prepare your chosen VUBA Resin Kit. In a heavy-duty mixer, combine the Resin Binder, Aggregates, and Binding Quartz, then transfer the blend into a lined wheelbarrow for easy handling.
Apply the resin mixture in manageable sections, smoothing and levelling with a trowel under firm, even pressure. Work systematically until the surface is complete, leaving a seamless, long-lasting, and visually impressive resin bound finish.
