Why choose resin?

Resin transforms driveways & patios - with us you great design and attention to detail.

Resin is an excellent surface choice for driveways because it is durable, low maintenance, and visually appealing. Its smooth, permeable finish allows water to drain naturally, helping to prevent puddles and surface water build-up, while also resisting weeds, cracks, and loose stones.
Resin is also an ideal surface for patios, creating a clean, seamless finish that is both practical and stylish. Its slip-resistant and hard-wearing properties make it perfect for outdoor living spaces, while the wide choice of colours and textures allows you to design a patio that complements your home and garden beautifully.
Amazing choice of colours

Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, resin offers a modern, long-lasting solution that enhances kerb appeal and performs well for years with minimal upkeep.

SUDS Compliant

Resin is easy to maintain and resistant to fading and weeds, resin patios provide a comfortable, attractive space to enjoy all year round.

we offer a Premium Installation Service

High specification installs, ensuring that your driveway and patio last as long as they should.

Not all resin driveways or patios are up to the job. The sub-base is vital if your project is going to last and deal with extreme hot and cold weather. All too often companies skip vital installation steps or install sub-standard sub-bases, that cause your project to fail prematurely. We don't do this and here's why:
Some companies cut corners. We don't:

The Resin Installation Process

150mm Type 3 MOT

Compacted in layers, we install 150mm type 3 MOT. Type 3 is important because it allows natural drainage through the surface. Kerb, edges, borders and restraints are also installed at this stage.

50mm Porous Tarmac

Next we install 50mm open porous tarmac. Like Type 3 MOT, it allows water to naturally pass through the base and drain. This is compliant with a SUDS system and does not require planning.

Resin Finish

Patios require a minimum 18mm resin finish, whilst driveways require a minimum of 25mm. There are now 100s of colour choices available. You can have seperate colours for borders and features.

Boosts Property Value

A professionally installed resin driveway or patio will significantly enhance your property’s kerb appeal and overall appearance, helping to increase its value and make a lasting impression on potential buyers.

FAQs about Resin, maintenance and ensuring it lasts

Most Popular Resin Questions

The resin is merely an attractive top coat. What's underneath provides the real strength and drainage to allow the resin to function as it should. Sadly, it's the sub-base that unscrupulous companies will gloss over to save money and time. 

With our resin driveways and patios they come with 150mm MOT Type 3. This must be compacted in 2 x 75mm layers to ensure the driveways/patio does not fail prematurely. Failure comes with settlement, sinking and structural failure. A correct sub-base will reduce the likelyhood of this happening. 

The second sub-base consists of 50mm open porous tarmac. Open porous is required because it allows water to pass through. The whole point of having resin is that it is SUDS compliant and allows water to naturally drain back into the water table. 

 

For patios resin should be at least 18mm thick. For driveways it should be 25mm thick. This requirement is for the installation of VUBA Resin. Other manufacturers may differ.  

Cleaning Practices: It’s very good practice to clean your Resin Bound surface regularly. And for lighter colours, it will be even more important to carry out regular cleaning. Resin Bound Surfaces can be power washed, it is recommended to have the lance at a 90 degree angle and at least 300mm from the surface. Cleaning too close can cause aggregates to be dislodged.

Oil, Dirt & Detritus: Oil can penetrate readily into hard surfacing materials (particularly lubricating or fuel oil), but it should not stain if any spillages are removed promptly with an absorbent material. If the stain persists then an emulsifying degreaser should be employed. Prolonged contact with any solvents should be avoided, contact Vuba for advice if you cannot remove the stain.

Rust can occur from two sources. Typically, rusting is caused by leaching from BBQ’s, flower baskets, and other metal garden items. Care should be taken to ensure these do not leach on to the resin surface. Naturally occurring aggregates in Resin Bound can contain pyrite, which upon exposure to rain, dew etc. can begin to rust. Unfortunately this is an aspect of Resin Bound surfacing which although very rare, can happen naturally. Either cause of rusting can be cleaned using Non-Acidic Rust Stain Remover. Please follow manufacturer instructions for more information. Tyre Marks can normally be removed by steam cleaning, or by scrubbing the area with detergent and hot water.

Unadvisable. Take care not to drop heavy equipment on tthe driveway or patio, such as the placement of skips. Also be aware - skips can often leach rust on to your driveway which you may not be able to clean. In addtion to skips, you really must not use a car jack on resin as this will depress the surface of Resin Bound and should be placed on a wooden board for load distribution.

Petrol, solvents etc. should not come into contact with resin surfacing ideally. In the event of spillages, dilute and clean immediately. Solvents and some chemicals will degrade the resin binder, resulting in stone loosening over a period of time.

Like all paving surfaces, Resin Bound will discolour if covered long term permanently with a close contact object. Discolouration occurs from leaching and lack of exposure to air/sunlight. An example would be a flat bottom plant pot or a storage box. Use raised plant pots, and do not store items like storage boxes on the surface.

A great way to extend the life of your driveway is by sealing the surface after a deep clean. This can be done using a diluted polyurethane UV resin sealer – contact your installer for more information. A good time to carry out this enhancement would be 2-4 years after installation of the resin surface.

No. Pressure exerted from static turning can dislodge surface aggregates. Once the matrix has broken, the surface will weaken and break away. It is very important that vehicle wheels are not turned when static or slow moving, and small turning circles should be eliminated in the driveway design.
