Specification detail your package can carry

Substrate, drainage, loading, cleaning, and maintenance detail for equine flooring — plus a straight answer about which figures are documented and which are not.

Specifying equine flooring means answering questions that most flooring datasheets do not address: what happens under a 500kg animal standing for eighteen hours, and what the cleaning regime does to the surface over a decade. We would rather give you a technical contact than a brochure.

How we work with design teams

1
Early consultation

A conversation at concept or schematic stage about which areas need which system, and what each demands of the substrate.

2
Specification support

Material and performance detail supplied for your specification sections, with any unconfirmed figures identified as such.

3
Submittal review

We respond to submittal and RFI queries directly rather than through a sales queue.

4
Site coordination

Installation coordinated with the contractor and inspected before handover.

Substrate and drainage requirements

Sealed stall flooring requires a sound, level base with controlled drainage. SoftStep pavers require a level, well-drained prepared base with a defined tolerance. Both requirements need to be reflected in the groundworks package rather than resolved on site.

Base material, level, and finish requirements

Slope and drainage design in wash and stall areas

Threshold and doorway detail

Base tolerance for paver installations — figure TBD

Published substrate tolerance figures and the formal base specification require confirmation.

Performance data: what exists and what does not

We publish performance figures only alongside the test method that produced them. At present, impact force reduction for wall padding, wet-slip performance, and loading figures for vehicle traffic are all pending confirmation. If your specification requires a figure we cannot yet document, tell us early — it is better addressed at design stage than at submittal.

Material composition and thickness — TBD

Impact force reduction (SoftWall) — TBD

Wet slip resistance — TBD

Vehicle and equipment loading — TBD

Test reports, methods, and certification documents must be supplied and reviewed before any figure is published or issued in a submittal.

Cleaning and maintenance specification

For clinical and public-facing projects the cleaning regime often drives the specification. The surfaces are non-absorptive and sealed, so cleaning agents act on the surface — but agent compatibility should be confirmed and written into the O&M documentation rather than assumed.
