The optimal stable floor for your horse:

A stable floor is not just a simple floor. It is the foundation of your horse's health and well-being. A good stable floor can make all the difference when it comes to providing comfort and safety for your horse. In this article, we will explore the different options for flooring in a horse barn and help you make the best choice for your needs.


What is the best stable floor? 

PVC floors in the stable are easy to clean and water resistant. They provide a smooth surface that minimizes injury risks. However, their durability may be compromised in humid barn environments. The best choice varies depending on your needs.



Floor horse stall: The basics:

Before choosing a particular stable floor, consider the specific needs of your horse and the requirements of your stable. Some questions you should ask yourself are:

  • How much exercise does my horse get each day?
  • What type of surface does my horse prefer?
  • How often is the horse barn floor cleaned and maintained

Wooden floor horse stable: Natural PVC and traditio

Wood flooring in a horse barn is a traditional choice that offers many benefits. Wood is natural, breathable, and provides a warm and comfortable surface for your horse. However, it's important to note that wood flooring in a horse stall requires regular care and maintenance to ensure it doesn't rot or become damaged.



Horse stall floor: safety and comfort

The horse stall floor is another important aspect to consider. A good horse stall should have a non-slip surface to prevent accidents. A non-slip stall floor is especially important because horses can sometimes make unexpected movements that can lead to injury if the floor doesn't provide the right grip.



Stall flooring: durability and ease of maintenance.

A good stall floor should not only be comfortable and safe for your horse, but it should also be durable and easy to maintain. There are many different materials and options to choose from, from rubber to special composite materials designed specifically for use in horse stalls.

Choosing the right stable flooring is critical to the health and well-being of your horse. Whether you choose a traditional wood stable floor or a modern PVC non-slip stable floor, it's important to make an informed decision based on the specific needs of your horse and your stable. A good stable floor is an investment in your horse's future and happiness.


A high quality stable floor for horses should have several important properties:

To ensure the safety and well-being of horses.

Some of these features include:

 

  • Non-slip: A non-slip floor reduces the risk of injury to horses moving on slippery or slippery surfaces.
  • Shock-absorbing: a good floor should be easy on horses' joints and muscles by absorbing shock and vibration.
  • Drainage: good drainage is important to quickly remove excess water and moisture and prevent mold, fungus and unpleasant odors.
  • Hygienic: The floor should be easy to clean and disinfect to ensure a hygienic environment for the horses.
  • Durable: a good quality floor should be durable and robust to last a long time and meet the needs of the horses.
  • Easy to maintain: a good floor should be easy to maintain to save time and money.
  • Flexible: A good floor should be flexible to meet the needs of horses and adapt to their movements.
  • Eco-friendly: A good floor should be made of eco-friendly materials to protect the horses' health and the environment.



Stable floor Horse stable, which floor covering is the best?


If you want to lay a floor covering in a horse stable, the most common stable floors are certainly concrete floors, stable or rubber mats and not to forget liquid rubber, wooden floors are also often used. The easiest and fastest way to renovate a barn floor is certainly to choose a concrete floor. All you have to do is water such a stable floor and distribute it with a broom, for example. However, the stable floor should not be too slippery.
From time to time stable owners also like to use concrete paving stones. When making this choice, however, you should keep in mind that concrete is a very hard material and is not necessarily good for horses in the long term. A wooden floor is often found in many stables, as such a floor covering is soft and radiates warmth. Wood is also harmless to health. Unfortunately, wooden floors are not particularly easy to handle when it comes to maintenance. They require a lot of attention and therefore a lot of work.
Rubber sheets are a rather modern solution. Rubber mats for barn floors offer many advantages. These tiles are easy to install, durable, soft and easy to replace when needed. They are also heat-insulating, non-slip and look attractive. Another big advantage of rubber mats is that they can also be laid outdoors without any problems. They are weatherproof.
Liquid rubber is one of the more recent versions of the floor covering in a barn. This is a kind of upgrade of the well-known rubber mats. Liquid rubber is cast in the same way as concrete. There is no dirt in the existing joints and the cleaning of the stable floor is quite easy.  

The inexpensive all-round horse floor made of PVC 

Stable mats are most often laid in horse stalls because the stalls are easier to clean with them.

You can also use the stable mats in the aisles of the horse halls.

You can also lay the horse flooring outdoors and in the open stable 

Compared to solid rubber mats or rubber granulate mats, they are more robust, but due to the harder material they are also less slip-resistant than a softer rubber mat. 

Stall Boden

The PVC PVC stable mats, box mats are made of PVC recycling material and are available in 2 sizes.

The large panel measures 1200 mm x 800 mm approx. 1 m², the smaller 600 mm x 800 mm approx. 0.5 m² per panel.

The non-slip surface withstands even high loads of approx. 2 tons per m² and is easy to clean with high-pressure cleaners. The material also has a high chemical resistance.

Quickly laid, versatile and absolutely economical.

The PVC stable mats and paddock mats are a pure recycling product made from cable-recycled plastics. 

The panels are connected by a circumferential fold and groove system.
The PVC stable mats and paddock mats enable optimal grip on unpaved and soft ground or protect sensitive ground.
PVC stable mats and paddock mats can be laid on any solid sub-surface (lawn, cobblestones, construction sites, gravel). The panels are used in particular in the industrial, commercial and agricultural sectors.
We recommend laying a foil, fleece or mat underneath for grass areas! 

The formation of unpleasant odors in the horse stable can be a common problem:

Even if the floor is cleaned regularly. This can be due to a variety of factors, including:

 

Lack of drainage: when water and moisture are not properly drained, this can lead to mold and fungus growth, which can cause unpleasant odors.

Overcrowded stall: an overcrowded stall can result in horse manure and urine not being properly drained, causing unpleasant odors.

Inadequate Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation can cause moisture and unpleasant odors to become trapped and amplified in the barn.

Poor hygiene: Poor hygiene can cause bacteria and germs to multiply in the barn and cause unpleasant odors.

 

How to counteract

To remedy this problem, horse owners should ensure that the barn is well ventilated and that water and moisture are properly drained. Regular cleaning and disinfection, as well as good hygiene and maintenance of floor coverings, can help minimize odors.

It can also help to keep the barn from overcrowding and ensure that horse manure and urine are removed regularly. Simply level the uneven floor with a thin layer of chippings and re-install the cleaned mats over the prepared floor.

Another option is to quickly back-clean PVC floor mats, remove them and re-lay them on a prepared floor. This can help minimize unpleasant odors and improve hygienic conditions in the barn.

Barn floor renovation

A stable floor for horses should first and foremost be safe. If you opt for stable mats or rubber mats, this choice is certainly associated with numerous advantages. You can lay these tiles or mats quickly, even without prior knowledge. Furthermore, they can be replaced in no time if a tile is defective. Your animals are safe and non-slip in the barn and the laying can also be carried out easily by craftsmen on loan. There are numerous different models available, so you have a free choice of optics. Different designs are always used, which is a very nice eye-catcher. 


Roughen the stable floor as you best do

Animals love non-slip floors, so roughening the stable floor is essential. After all, you only want the best for your pet. In this way, you not only make your barn floor non-slip, but also more durable. For example, you can lay stable mats much more easily and not only that, but also remove them more easily if necessary. Rubber mats for barn floors are quite easy to lay. Simply leave about 2 cm of space on the wall and start laying. You can lay the rubber mats in no time at all and you only need to attach an edge. With liquid rubber stable floors, the floor requires a slightly longer drying phase and cannot be walked on again immediately, which you should be aware of before laying. Such a floor can be walked on again after 24 hours. Rubber mats, on the other hand, can be loaded again immediately after installation.


Barn floor coating, which is the best?

Coated barn floors have many advantages to offer. They are extremely easy to clean and you can also hide uneven floors under such a coating. A stable floor coating is a good choice, especially when a stable floor repeatedly comes into contact with numerous loads. The cost of such a coating varies. Again and again, companies or stable owners fall back on synthetic resin, but other coatings can also be used.


Stabilizing the stable floor with rubber mats is no problem

The rubber tiles also have a particularly big advantage that saves you money, because you no longer have to worry about the bedding in your stable. This is no longer necessary. The rubber mats can be solidified very easily. You only need to lay them on the floor, which should have been straightened if possible, and push the individual tiles into each other. You can still attach strips to the side edges and your stable floor is ready. Even if you are not very handy, have never laid a barn floor or just want this job done quickly, then rubber mats for barn floors are perfect.


Barn floor too slippery what can you do?

Concrete barn floors in particular become extremely slippery over time, which can pose a risk to the animals. You could slip away and, in the worst case, injure yourself. The inputs and outputs in particular are often affected. If you want to take care of this smooth stable floor, you will certainly make a good choice with stable mats. Your animals are protected and can no longer injure themselves. In addition, you can buy the stable mats in different sizes and designs, so that they adapt to every stable.
