What is VubaMac?
VubaMac is a flexible, ultra-durable, and eco-friendly base specifically engineered for resin bound surfacing. Unlike traditional sub-bases not designed for this purpose, VubaMac forms a monolithic bond with the resin bound top layer when applied within the recommended intercoat period—creating the first truly integrated resin bound system.
For optimal performance, the full VubaMac system (including the resin bound surface course) should be installed at:
- 36mm for pedestrian traffic
- 50mm for vehicular traffic
This ensures long-lasting strength, stability, and seamless functionality in both residential and commercial settings.
Engineered with cutting-edge permeability technology, VubaMac is the world’s most flood-resistant paving solution—designed for superior durability, sustainability, and performance.
Made from 100% repurposed waste aggregate and renewable binders, VubaMac dramatically reduces environmental impact by tackling major concerns such as CO₂ emissions from concrete and VOC emissions from asphalt. Its revolutionary No-Dig system preserves the existing ground structure, saving millions of kilograms of earth per street and eliminating the need for conventional drainage infrastructure.
Forming a monolithic bond with the resin bound surface layer, VubaMac delivers long-term strength and flexibility—far exceeding the lifespan and resilience of traditional materials like asphalt and concrete.
Supplied as a complete system from a single trusted source, VubaMac enables fast, one-day installations with minimal disruption, offering a quieter, smoother, and more environmentally responsible paving solution. Choose VubaMac—for a greener, smarter, and more flood-resilient future.

How VubaMac is Installed In Your Garden
Step 1: In the desired area, you need to add the base layer of the VubaMac Structural Reinforcement mesh. The mesh is available in 130sqm rolls that you can purchase from Stone Zone. Make sure to check the square meterage of the area you want covered before purchasing the mesh.
Step 2: Is to lay down a layer of Urethane Binder Course. The Urethane Binder Course consists of High Strength Railway Ballast, UV Polyurethane Resin, and finally Binding Quartz. The depth of this layer is dependent on the use of the surface, you must install 15mm for a pedestrian area, 30mm for vehicles or 35mm for commercial areas.
Step 3: After the Binder Course layer, a second mesh layer is added for extra durability and to ensure everything is packed in.
Step 4: Finally, you can add in your Resin Bound layer. Here at Stone Zone, we are proud stockists of a multitude of Resin colours, which you can find HERE; perfect for whatever colour pallet you want your walk or driveway to be.

What is the Difference Between Porcelain and Sandstone?
When selecting paving materials for your outdoor spaces, Porcelain and Sandstone offer distinct qualities suited to different preferences and requirements.
Porcelain Paving
Porcelain is a manufactured material designed to replicate the aesthetic of natural stone while delivering superior durability and minimal maintenance. Its production involves vitrification, where pure clays and minerals like quartz are heated to temperatures exceeding 1200°C. This process results in:
Durability: Porcelain slabs are exceptionally strong, resisting scratches, stains, and wear over time.
Non-Porous Surface: Being waterproof and resistant to mold, moss, and frost makes Porcelain ideal for wet climates or areas around pools.
Minimal Maintenance: Unlike natural stone, Porcelain retains its texture and color without sealing, requiring only basic cleaning.
Safety: With an R11 skid rating, Porcelain provides excellent grip even in wet conditions, ensuring safety in high-traffic or family-friendly areas.
Modern Aesthetic: Its refined, sleek appearance works well in contemporary garden designs.
Sandstone Paving
Sandstone, a natural material sourced from quarries (primarily in India), exudes a traditional, rustic charm. Its distinctive riven texture and natural variations make it a popular choice for homeowners seeking a timeless appeal.
Eco-Friendly: Sandstone’s porous nature allows rainwater absorption, aiding in natural drainage and potentially reducing flood risk.
Natural Aging: Over time, Sandstone develops a weathered patina, appealing to those who enjoy a vintage or aged aesthetic.
Maintenance: Regular sealing is needed to preserve its colors and protect against weathering. Without sealing, its hues gradually fade to softer, lighter tones.
Traditional Look: Sandstone’s textured finish and natural variations add warmth and character to outdoor spaces.
