Natural stone resurfacing on an outdoor patio

Rubber surfacing around an outdoor swimming pool

A NEW FINISH STARTS HERE

Refresh the surface you already have.

Structures Inc. installs Rubber Stone and Vuba Stone resurfacing for residential and commercial properties. On a suitable existing base, these systems offer an alternative to a full tear-out.

Rubber Stone combines rubber granules with a resin binder for a textured, flexible finish with a more cushioned feel. Applications include pool surrounds, patios, walkways, and steps.

Vuba Stone uses natural stone aggregate bound with resin to create a decorative finish for areas such as patios, paths, and suitable driveways.

The right choice starts with the base. We’ll discuss its condition, drainage, and intended use before identifying a suitable approach.

CHOOSE YOUR FINISH

Rubber Stone or Vuba Stone?

Compare the look, feel, and applications before choosing the finish for your space.

Rubber Stone and Vuba Stone comparison
Consideration	Rubber Stone	Vuba Stone
Material	Rubber granules with a resin binder	Natural stone aggregate bound with resin
Look and feel	Textured finish with a more cushioned feel	Decorative natural aggregate appearance
Areas to discuss	Pool surrounds, patios, paths, and steps	Patios, paths, and suitable driveways
Design options	Rubber color blends and contrasting borders	Natural aggregate blends and edge details

Both options need a suitable base and a specification matched to their use. Driveways require a system designed for vehicle traffic.

WHY RESURFACE?

A different finish. A different feel.

Keep a suitable base

Resurfacing can retain an existing base and reduce removal work. Its condition determines the preparation and repairs needed first.

Add texture underfoot

Explore textured finishes for paths, patios, and pool surrounds. Discuss traction and comfort for the way you use your space.

Make the space your own

Coordinate colors, aggregate blends, and borders with your home, landscaping, and outdoor living areas.

FIND YOUR PROJECT

Where would you use a fresh finish?

Pool decks: Discuss texture, barefoot comfort, drainage, and pool-edge details.
Patios & porches: Coordinate colors and borders with your outdoor living space.
Driveways: Select a system suited to vehicles, turning loads, and the existing base.
Walkways & entrances: Refresh paths while addressing slopes, edges, and adjoining surfaces.
Steps & landings: Review stair dimensions and edge details before adding a finish.
Garage & commercial floors: Ask about suitability for moisture, chemicals, equipment, and traffic.

BEFORE YOU COVER IT

Can your existing surface be resurfaced?

When resurfacing may work

A stable base with wear or repairable surface defects may be a candidate. Existing concrete, asphalt, tile, and some wood surfaces require product-specific assessment and preparation.

When repairs come first

Settlement, crumbling material, rot, ongoing movement, or water problems need assessment. An overlay does not stabilize a failing base or resolve the cause of structural damage.

Dealing with a leaking elevated deck? Decorative resurfacing should not be assumed to provide waterproofing or protect occupied space below. Tell Structures about the leak when you get in touch.

MAKE IT YOURS

The details make the difference.

Color, texture, and a defined edge

Explore rubber color blends, natural stone aggregate blends, and contrasting borders. A simple border can frame an entrance or tie a patio into nearby materials.

Review current samples in your project setting. Color and sun exposure affect surface temperature, so discuss shade and lighter options where barefoot use matters.

WHAT TO EXPECT

From worn surface to finished space.

Assess the surface

Review existing material, damage, drainage, and intended use. Identify the preparation and repairs needed.
Choose the finish

Confirm material, colors, edges, transitions, access, and the work included in your proposal.
Install, cure, enjoy

Follow the selected system’s installation and curing requirements. Confirm return-to-use times for walking, furniture, and vehicles.

Timing depends on project size, preparation, product, and weather. Completion of application does not mean the surface is ready for every use.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT

What does resurfacing cost?

Your estimate depends on the surface, the finish, and the preparation required.

Area & finish: Size, product, thickness, color blends, and borders.
Preparation: Repairs, unsuitable coatings, loose material, and drainage work.
Site details: Access, stairs, edges, and transitions.

Compare complete scopes when weighing resurfacing against repair or replacement. Keeping a suitable base can reduce tear-out work, but the right choice depends on its condition.

Discuss Your Project

KEEP IT LOOKING GOOD

Care for the finish you choose.

Keep it clear

Remove leaves and dirt. Confirm approved cleaners and pressure-washing methods before cleaning.

Notice changes

Ask about loose material, lifting edges, localized damage, or standing water early.

Follow the care plan

Use instructions for your installed system. Confirm future treatments before applying a coating or sealer.

A FEW MORE ANSWERS

Rubber Stone & Vuba Stone FAQs

What is Rubber Stone resurfacing?

Rubber Stone resurfacing uses rubber granules and a resin binder to create a textured wearing surface over a suitable base. Applications include pool decks, patios, walkways, and steps, subject to project assessment.

What is Vuba Stone resurfacing?

Vuba Stone is a resin-bound natural stone surfacing system. It creates a decorative aggregate finish for suitable patios, walkways, and driveways, with specifications matched to the intended use.

Can these systems cover existing concrete?

Suitable existing concrete may be resurfaced after preparation and necessary repairs. Its condition, movement, drainage, and intended traffic determine whether an overlay is appropriate.

Can they cover asphalt, tile, or wood?

Some asphalt, tile, or wood surfaces may be candidates, depending on the product and installation requirements. Compatibility, stability, adhesion, moisture, and structural condition must be checked for the project.

Is Rubber Stone slip-proof?

No surface is slip-proof. Rubber Stone has a textured finish, but water, algae, oils, debris, footwear, and maintenance can affect traction. Discuss the intended wet or dry use when selecting a system.

Will resurfacing stop settlement or cracking?

Resurfacing does not stabilize a settling base or eliminate structural movement. The cause of cracks or unevenness needs assessment before selecting an overlay. Repairs or replacement may be needed first.

How soon can I walk or drive on the surface?

Return-to-use time depends on the installed system, weather, and site conditions. Confirm pedestrian and vehicle instructions separately; completion of application does not mean the surface is fully cured.

Does resurfacing waterproof an elevated deck?

Do not assume a decorative resurfacing finish provides deck waterproofing. Elevated decks and areas over occupied spaces may need a separate waterproofing assembly, with appropriate drainage and flashing details.
