It’s all about the base
- Longevity matters as much as cost and convenience for driveways.
- Resin over concrete can crack as the base shifts over time.
- A strong base is key to a long-lasting resin surface.
- VubaMac provides a durable, permeable base with a 25-year guarantee.
- VubaMac reduces the need for major excavation on most surfaces.
Choose longevity, not the easy option
Many companies will offer to apply a resin-bound surface over your existing concrete driveway, but at Polybound Home Improvements, we will never advise doing that for one simple reason – concrete cracks. It always does. And a resin-bound surface will always be a mirror for what’s underneath it, which means that when the base moves and cracks underneath, eventually the surface will follow suit, leaving your beautiful resin surface looking tired and in need of repair. It really is all about that base.
A VubaMac base though, eliminates those concerns. Tough, durable, permeable, and with a 25 year guarantee, the VubaMac system provides a durable base when laying down resin bound outdoor surfaces to create a long-lasting, attractive drive or pathway solution.
We know what you’re thinking – picturing all the excavations you’ll likely need for a new base, before you’ve even got to the point of having a resin-bound surface laid. But here’s the good news – VubaMac is suitable for nearly all surfaces, as long as the proper aggregates are in place beforehand – greatly reducing the need for excavation.
So, when it comes to planning your new outdoor surface, you don’t need to sacrifice longevity for ease – Polybound Home Improvements can take care of all of that for you – leaving you with a stunning surface that will last and last.

Why do we use VubaMac?
Polybound Home Improvements are proud to be using the VubaMac system as a durable base when laying down resin bound outdoor surfaces to create a long-lasting, attractive drive or pathway solution.
Why is VubaMac better than traditional bases such as Asphalt or Concrete?
- Super Strength: In controlled testing, VubaMac outperformed asphalt in every strength assessment. The results showed that VubaMac is 57% stronger than asphalt.
- Saves on commercial digging: VubaMac is suitable for nearly all surfaces, as long as the proper aggregates are in place beforehand – greatly reducing the need for excavation.
- Permeable and fully SuDs compliant: VubaMac systems incorporates Vuba’s SRM base layer, VubaMac Resin mixed with recycled aggregates, and is finished with the Vuba Stone Topping System, creating a fully permeable surface solution.
- 25 Year Guarantee: All VubaMac system driveways benefit from a manufacturer backed 20 year warranty on top of our 5 year warranty as standard, so you can have long-lasting peace of mind that your driveways and paths will last for decades to come.
Why do we NOT use concrete as a base?
Polybound Home Improvements will never use concrete for the base when laying down a resin bound surface. This is mainly due to:
- Cracks – Which can start to appear in the resin shortly after being laid down.
- Not naturally permeable – Unlike the VubaMac system, concrete is not permeable therefore not allowing appropriate drainage.
