the vuba advantage
Superior performance metrics
Independent tests have shown that Vuba’s Resin UVR binder achieves a flexural strength of 9.376 MPa, nearly double that of some competitors. Even moisture-exposed samples performed impressively, being almost 280% stronger than others. Additionally, the binder demonstrated zero texture loss in scuffing resistance tests, indicating exceptional durability .
Why
is Vuba superior to competition?
Vuba is considered a superior resin-bound surfacing product due to its high
technical standards, including BBA (British Board of Agrément) certification
for durability, UV stability, and scuff resistance. It is specifically
engineered to be up to 42% stronger than standard resin-bound solutions,
significantly reducing the risk of cracking and allowing for 100% permeability.
Here is a breakdown of why Vuba is considered a superior product:
Technical Superiority & Certification: Vuba’s full system has passed the
rigorous BBA Technical Assessment, which is the highest standard in the resin
industry. Their resin has been tested to be up to 30%-42% stronger than
competitors, with specific formulations (MT resin) showing up to 5 times more
strength against moisture.
Engineered for Durability & Climate: Vuba systems are designed for
longevity, with a life expectancy of 20–25 years or more. They are UV-stable to
prevent yellowing. The systems are tested to withstand hundreds of freeze-thaw
cycles and extreme heat without degrading.
Some further key points to consider when you compare:
Vuba driveways are a minimum of 15mm application depth. Always ask to know what
each supplier proposes
Vuba Resin is UV stabilised. Nevertheless with Vuba Cyprus you get an
additional UV booster added to the mix to make sure the system is up to the
local UV levels
Vuba driveways are done with a combination of marble or quartz of a 1-5mm
diameter. In addition to this, the Vuba system adds a special clear fine quartz
sand in the mix, to make sure that even the tiniest gap is filled
Vuba uses 7.5 kgs of its superior resin per 100 kgs of stone, compared to 5 kgs
that most of the other systems use. This makes it by default 1.5 times stronger
Vuba uses a propriatary Structural Reinforcement Mesh (SRM) which significantly
restricts ground movement to reflect on the vuba top.
Vuba is 100% water permeable
