Resin Bound FAQ’s
“RESIN BOUND CRACKS, FAILS AND FALLS APART, THIS WON’T
LAST 5 MINUTES...”
Not wi Vuba!
We’ve put together some of the most common questions we get asked to give you
more information about resin bound and its advantages as a modern surfacing
solution.
Can resin bound be used for back gardens/patios/swimming pools?
It works great in all of these outdoor areas; resin bound is not just for driveways!
Can you lay it over old Tarmac or concrete?
A real advantage of resin bound is that it can overlay existing old and tired concrete or tarmac
(depending on cracks and joints, you may require repair treatments or joints within the resin). We
do recommend, however, if you want a fully permeable system that the existing base is removed
and replaced with open-grade tarmac. It is not recommended to be installed over 昀氀at brick
paving.
Can I use it on the stones between my pavers?
For loose garden stones, we have an incredible product called Easihold. Easihold is a water-based,
non-toxic binder, which can be applied to stones by spraying, pouring or or mixing in.
What’s the difference between an Approved Vuba installer and a local installer?
An Approved installer we know very well and have supplied for some time. A local installer is one
we have only recently begun supplying so haven’t seen as many of their projects yet, although
they could still be very good! On average 3 installers change to Vuba every week.
How long does an average install take?
Depending on the size of the installers company, smaller companies can install 150m2 in a day as
a maximum. However, larger companies could achieve 300m2 or more!
Typically, how much would a driveway cost per m2?
Should your driveway base already be in good condition a resin bound overlay would cost
around £60-£80 per m2. If the removal of your existing driveway is required, installation of a new
permeable base as well as the Resin bound overlay, this would cost approximately £120-£160 per
m2. Locations, material 昀氀uctuations, edging, patterns and borders can all have an impact on price.
How long will a driveway last?
We give a 20-year warranty for our products, and you can expect a longer life expectancy. When
installed correctly resin bound is incredibly durable and resilient. We work with over 100 ethical,
competent and experienced approved installers
How long until I can walk/drive on it?
It’s temperature dependant, so in Winter we would recommend 48 hours before walking and 1
week before driving. In the Summer we recommend 24 hours before walking and 2 days before
driving.
How environmentally friendly is it?
Recently in the news we have been seeing that sewage is being released into waterways to ease
the strain on drains – meaning people are being advised not to bathe when at the beach. As resin
bound surfacing becomes more popular, the strain on storm and sewage drainage will be greatly
reduced as it will disperse naturally into the watercourse.
