Frequently Asked Questions
Rubber Pavers, Tiles & Flooring
What are rubber pavers and why are they good for horse stalls and barn aisles?
Rubber pavers are interlocking, high-density recycled rubber flooring designed for equine environments. They provide slip-resistant traction, cushioning underfoot, durable performance, and easier maintenance compared with concrete or loose mats. They’re ideal for aisles, wash bays, tack rooms, and stable flooring.
What thicknesses of rubber pavers do you offer?
Our rubber pavers and tiles are available in 5/8” - 2” thicknesses, offering varying levels of comfort, durability, and impact absorption based on your needs.
Can rubber pavers be installed over concrete or asphalt?
Yes. Rubber pavers from 5/8” to 7/8” thick can be glued over existing concrete or asphalt surfaces. Thicker pavers can also be dry-laid over a properly compacted base if recommended for your project.
How do rubber pavers compare with traditional stall mats?
Rubber pavers interlock for stability, often offer better drainage and traction, and are less prone to shifting than loose mats. Many pavers also provide more visual appeal and easier cleaning.
How long do rubber pavers last?
High-quality equine rubber pavers are designed to be extremely durable and long-lasting. With proper installation and routine maintenance, you can typically expect:
10–20 years of service in indoor barn aisles, stall floors, or low-traffic areas.
5–15 years in outdoor or high-traffic areas, depending on exposure to weather, UV, and heavy use.
Factors that affect lifespan:
Thickness: Thicker pavers (1–2") generally last longer, especially in outdoor or heavily trafficked areas.
Installation: Properly glued or compacted installation prevents shifting or premature wear.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, and controlling moisture and bedding buildup help extend life.
Environment: Direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and heavy machinery can slightly reduce longevity over time.
Bottom line: With the right care, equine rubber pavers are a long-term investment that provides safety, comfort, and durability for years.
Safety, Comfort & Performance
Are rubber pavers safe for horses?
Yes — rubber surfaces are slip-resistant and cushioned, reducing concussion on hoof, leg, and joint impact that can occur on hard flooring.
Do rubber floors help reduce injuries?
Rubber flooring and pavers improve traction when wet and dry, helping prevent slips and falls. Cushioned surfaces also reduce strain on joints, tendons, and ligaments during daily use.
Are rubber pavers good for wash racks and wet areas?
Yes. Many equine rubber floors are designed for wet zones like wash racks because they maintain traction even when wet and dry quickly after cleaning, helping prevent slips and injuries.
What thickness of Rubber paver do I need?
Rubber tiles and pavers ranging from 5/8" to 7/8" thick are ideal for installation over existing concrete or asphalt surfaces and typically require adhesive for secure placement.
Thicker pavers, from 1-5/8" to 2", do not require glue and can be dry-set over properly compacted base material, making them perfect for outdoor or high-traffic areas where drainage and stability are important.
