When considering a new resin bound driveway, homeowners often ask: “How long does a resin bound surface really last?”

At Vuba, we’re proud to offer resin bound systems that not only look beautiful but are designed to stand the test of time. With the correct installation and care, a resin bound surface will last for decades, maintaining both its functionality and visual appeal. But the key lies in using the highest quality materials, working with experienced professionals and following simple maintenance steps.

One of the reasons we are so confident in our products is the continuous testing and improvements we have carried out over many years. A key part of this is the base build-up we recommend for any new installation, as shown in the diagrams below.

The Vuba surface accounts for less than 10% of the overall recommended base build-up. This is why it is crucial that the correct standards are followed during installation. Having the proper foundations beneath the surface ensures the product will stand the test of time.

VubaMac is our recommended base of choice, as illustrated in the diagrams. While VubaMac has a reduced total depth than asphalt or concrete, the overall strength is 57% greater than asphalt. Concrete, by comparison, can be prone to cracking over time if not installed correctly. VubaMac, however, offers some flexibility within the overall system to mitigate against cracking. Over 100,000 m² has been installed globally with no reported cracks!

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a Vuba resin bound system is the peace of mind that comes with our warranties.

When installed on an asphalt or concrete base by a Vuba Approved Installer, we offer a 20-year warranty. That means you can feel confident your surface is built to last.

When installed over our VubaMac base, your surface is covered by an unmatched 25-year warranty. On top of that, we offer a 5-year no crack guarantee, a level of assurance that you won’t find elsewhere in the industry.

These warranties aren’t just numbers; they reflect our confidence in the quality of our products and the skill of our trusted installation network. Terms and conditions apply to all warranties, please check with us directly about our warranties before your installation.

To ensure your resin bound surface is eligible for these warranties, we always recommend working with a Vuba Approved Installer from our worldwide network. These professionals are trained in the correct specifications and standards needed for an installation. Going directly through us not only gives you access to the highest quality materials but also to experts who know how to install them suitably.

It’s one of the best ways to protect your investment from the start.

While resin bound surfaces are incredibly durable, they do require a few considerations during and after installation.

We always advise against dry steering (turning your car’s wheels while stationary). This kind of stress on the surface can lead to shailing, which may damage the finish.

As with any outdoor surface, the weather during installation matters. Resin should never be laid during conditions where humidity exceeds 95%, rain or freezing conditions, as this can affect its final strength and appearance.

One of the most appealing things about resin bound surfaces is how easy they are to care for. But just like any quality feature of your home, they need some occasional upkeep to stay looking their best.

We recommend lightly jet washing your surface regularly to remove dirt, algae, and debris. This not only helps it stay looking clean and fresh but also prevents build up that can affect drainage or cause long-term wear.

In addition, applying a sealer every 3 to 5 years will help preserve, protect and extend the surface’s lifespan. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference over time.

A resin bound surface from Vuba is more than just a driveway or pathway, it’s a long-term investment in your home’s appeal, value and functionality. With warranties of up to 25 years and minimal maintenance required, it’s a surface that performs as beautifully as it looks.
