Barn Aisles And Wash Stalls Around Ashburn And Myrtle Need A Floor That Holds A Shod Horse
We pour rubber surfacing in wash stalls, barn aisles and grooming bays so a wet, shod horse stands on grip instead of on slick concrete. Up on the moraine around Ashburn and Myrtle the horse farms sit on sand that drains well, but a concrete aisle inside the barn is still hard, cold and slippery when hosed. Rubber mats shift, curl and trap urine at the seams.
Poured rubber surfacing is seamless, drains, is warm underfoot, and is kinder to legs and hooves than concrete. Rubber surfacing is also easier to keep clean, which matters in a wash stall used every day.
Condo Terraces And School Yards Need A Surface That Drains And Stays Quiet
Rooftop terraces, balconies, courtyards and splash pads get rubber surfacing from Whitby Rubber Surfacing where water has to get off the surface fast and noise has to stay off the units below. The condo buildings going up around Whitby Harbour and along Victoria Street have terraces over living space, and a hard paver terrace over a membrane is both loud and a puddle problem in a freeze-thaw winter.
A school courtyard in Pringle Creek or a daycare yard in Williamsburg gets the same rubber surfacing in colour, with the thickness set by what the children will be doing on it. A seniors' residence courtyard gets rubber surfacing for the grip and the soft landing.
What We Do On A Commercial Or Farm Site
We visit the site, tape the area, inspect the base, note the drains and edges, and confirm access for the mixer. Existing concrete, asphalt, pavers or membrane-protected decks are cleaned, repaired and primed. On a farm the aisle is scrubbed and dried before priming.
Mixed on the spot, the rubber surfacing gets spread by trowel to the depth on the quote, in black SBR for barns and back-of-house areas and in coloured EPDM where the surface shows. Edges at doors, drains and thresholds are protected. A barn aisle can take horses after two to three days.
