At Sterling Equine, we have spent decades evaluating products and gathering feedback from our thousands of customers. The flooring options listed below are the best products we have found to provide you and your horses optimum safety with the barn. All flooring options should be durable, provide traction and be easy to clean.
GET A FREE QUOTERubber Pavers will add a finished, elegant look to your barn while providing a safe surface for both handler and horse. This non-slip even when wet surface is also rot and UV resistant. Sterling Equine pavers are a mix between rubber crumb and shred which means they hold up better and longer than the all rubber crumb competitors. Our pavers are also colored all the way through so color will not wear over time. With the highest compaction rating on the market and a high elasticity, these pavers help protect the tendons of your horses. Pavers come in two thicknesses 40mm – best for laying over a compact base with surrounding curb, and 20mm – best for laying over concrete. Pavers are offered in red, black, and gray colors.
Sterling Equine interlocking rubber mats are 100% American-Made and are long-lasting, cost-effective, and easy to install. With our 100% re-vulcanized rubber and closed celled structure you can rest easy knowing that they are non-absorbent, antibacterial, and antifungal. These mats will not roll, buckle, or curl making them perfect for stalls, wash bays, walkways and more. We offer them in 3/4″ and 1/2″ thicknesses with and without buttons. 10’x10′ stall kits, 12’x10′ stall kits, 12’x12′ stall kits, and custom sizes are available.
StableComfort™ is the global standard in equine flooring. With health, comfort, cleanliness, performance, and other benefits to its credit, this revolutionary wall-to-wall waterproof stall mat system was designed with both the horse and owner in mind. StableComfort™ is ergonomic, efficient, environmentally friendly, and provides unsurpassed comfort through a resilient stall surface which simulates natural turf. This stall mat system decreases the timeline of injury rehabilitation and aids in loosening stiff joints.
PermaGrid is a mud management and ground reinforcement solution specially formulated to support the hoof, yet strong enough to drive equipment over. PermaGrid can be used for paddocks, stalls, riding arenas, exercise runs, feeding areas, and so much more. Resistant to frost and UV, the clever connection system locks each slab in place to make sure you will always be on firm ground. PermaGrid reduces the carbon footprint of a project and is completely recyclable.
That depends on your priorities and set up. PermaGrid is used with compact base material and prevents horses from pawing or wearing holes in the stall. Interlocking stall mats provide some cushion and can be applied over both compacted base and concrete. Horse stall mattresses provide extra comfort, are impervious to moisture, and reduce the amount of bedding required. Please contact us to discuss the option that is right for you in more detail.
The 40mm product is designed to be applied over a compacted base material that will drain well, much like installing a hard paver product for a patio or driveway. The 20mm is designed to be applied where concrete already exists and must be glued down.
In most cases it is a good idea to create a level, good draining base to install flooring over. This will help your investment last longer and create a safer, healthier environment for your horses.
Interlocking mats, stall mattresses, and equine rubber pavers can all be installed over concrete.
