VubaMac
VubaMac is a patented system engineered for durability and sustainability. Designed as a reduced-dig, environmentally friendly base, it is suitable for pedestrian and heavy vehicle traffic applications, making it a reliable choice for both homeowners and commercially. The system 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. This is the break down you need to discover how VubaMac works and how it compares to its alternatives.
How Does VubaMac Work?
VubaMac is a blend of 6–10mm and 1–5mm recycled aggregates that uses:
Resin Binder: A non-UV polyurethane resin that binds the aggregates.
Binding Quartz: Multi-sized quartz particles for added strength.
SRM (Structural Reinforcement Mesh): Two layers of recyclable mesh that sandwich the base for added durability.
The use of VubaMax build up helps to spread the weight and reduce cracks in your driveways and surfaces. Leaving a high quality finish, that will stand the test of time AND weight.
Mixing & Application:
- The components are mixed on-site using a resin mixer.
- The SRM mesh is laid down first.
- The VubaMac mix is poured and spread evenly.
- A second SRM layer is applied on top of this layer.
- The resin bound surface is then laid within the advised intercoat period to ensure a bond between layers.
How Does It Compare To Other Surfaces?
| Base Type | Permeability | Installation on Depth | Flexibility | Eco Credentials | SuDs(Sustainable Drainage Systems) Compliant | Speed of Install |
| VubaMac | Excellent | 20-40mm | High | 100% recycled aggregate | Yes | Can be as quick as 1 day |
| Permeable Concrete | Good | 100-150mm | Low | Mixed | Yes | Mulitiple days |
| Permeable Tarmac | Moderate | 50-100mm | Moderate | High carbon footprint | Dependable | Multiple days |
| Traditional Concrete | None | 100-150mm | Rigid | High emissions | No | Multiple days |
Comparison Breakdown:
VubaMac is engineered to combine strength, flexibility and drainage, all key aspects to creating a long lasting, low maintance driveway or surface. As shown in the table above VubaMac has many advantages over its competitors- its shallow installation means a quicker build, its flexibility ensures it will not crack under weight and its eco-friendly credentinals show why it is fast becoming the top choice for driveways and surfaces across the UK.
Summary
VubaMac is the perfect mix of permeable, flexible and durable- it even comes with the added benefit of being environmentally friendly, what is not to love? For homeowners and developers seeking a future-proof solution that blends together performance and durability with environmental responsibility, VubaMac is not just an alternative, it’s the upgrade.
