Is it slippery?
The surface for driveways is naturally non-slip in dry conditions. As resin bound is permeable you
won’t have any standing water and we also use a Binding Quartz that provides additional slip and
skid resistance.
Will it hurt if you fall?
We use a rounded marble or a naturally rounded quartz stone from Europe and this is trowelled in
and quite smooth, so it wouldn’t hurt too much from a fall.
Do weeds grow in it?
What’s great about resin bound is that it doesn’t have joints like block paving, which is where
weeds tend to grow, meaning the likelihood of weeds is massively reduced. Should any pop up
they can be easily washed away. As it is completely permeable, water doesn’t sit on the surface –
which means no more moss or algae!
Does it hold up in icy/frosty conditions?
Yes, it holds up well. Resin Bound is permeable with open pores throughout which allows freezing
water to be released. We took a cube of resin bound, fully submerged it in water, froze it and then
thawed it out. We did this 100 times, and then we tested this sample using a Compressive Strength
tester, and the result matched the control. Meaning we didn’t see a loss in strength. There could be
limitations to this, we don’t know yet for the harshest of environments, but we’re con昀椀dent.
How do I clean it and can it stain?
The resin encapsulated stones hold dirt a lot less than porous block paving or concrete, making
for a much easier cleaning experience. Vuba Resin bound surfacing can be jet washed, and with a
permeable base, the water simply drains away. You can even wash your car on it!
