Description
DIY Fully Sealed Stable Mats
While our expert team covers the entire UK, we understand that sometimes our customers need a flooring solution sooner than we can get to them. The DIY Fully Sealed stable mat kit has been created using the materials our teams use. Once installed your stable will have a safe, warm and hygienic floor.
The benefits of having the matting fully sealed are:
- Nothing gets under the mats.
- You never have to lift the mats to clean underneath.
- Reducing nasty smells.
- Helps respiratory problems.
- The easiest to clean – just jet wash out!
Kit Contents:
Included in the kit are all of the products needed to get the job done.
Pre-trimmed stable mats – It is imperative to have pre-trimmed mats!
The production of a rubber mat is a little like baking a cake, the “tin” must be greased to get the mat out. Every mat has the residue of a “release agent” on it, which stops the glue from adhering to the mat. We trim ever side of the mat to ensure there is a virgin rubber for the Stable Sealant to bond to.
The final size of the mat is 1.2m x 1.8m.
Experience tells us stables are rarely exactly the size they say, for example: “12 x 12”. Although the mats will be pre-trimmed, you may still have some cutting to do. We will supply you with instructions and are happy to give you advice on the phone.
Stable Sealant – This is glue that seals all the mats together. Specially formulated for our application to give the best bond, while staying flexible. It will last in even the most arduous conditions in a stable! The stable sealant will only bond to a clean, dry surface.
Edging Baton – 25mm x 50mm pressure treated wood, painted in a black bitumen. Used like a skirting board around the edge of your stable, it provides a clean straight edge to bond to around the walls of your stable. At 25mm thick, it gives additional waterproofing to ensure nothing gets under the mats around the edges.
Hardwood Ramp Edge – This is fitted in the door threshold and has two purposes. removes trip hazard and provides an additional edge to seal, ensuring no fluid can ingress at this point.
What else is required?
This kit includes the main components to complete your installation but you still do require some additional tools. You will need:
SDS Drill / Combi drill (With hammer setting) – for predrilling the holes

A tape measure and a long straight edge (ruler) preferably 6ft long.
A standard 310mm cartridge gun for sealant.

Gloves, filling knife(scraper), Bin bags, masking tape, cleaning wipes.
