Our granulate rubber slabs are produced from
recycled commercial tyres so are very environmentally friendly.
The tyres
are chopped in to granular fragments, metal particles are removed and
the granules are then graded for their requirements and rebonded in moulds
with a special resin to form the very strong, dry, safe and hard wearing
one metre square slab. These slabs will give years of use. The slabs have 'feet' which form a honeycombed underside. The
honeycomb design permits air flow and drainage of fluids under the slabs,
fluids are also able to pass through the special crumb construction of the
slabs, which helps keep a dry surface.
New slabs have a wax residue,
this will disperse after a few days under normal use. To see the drainage
properties of a rubber sample, the wax can be removed by washing with
any water based washing-up liquid, then pour some water over the slab and
see it run through. Example of use includes horse stable/boxes and animal
pens, for this type of application the high quality 45mm (1¾") thick
honeycombed slabs are used, with these a vast reduction in bedding
material can be obtained. This is unlike other types of thinner virgin
(solid) rubber mats, which still require bedding, and are not as warm,
hard wearing or dry. 20mm mats can be screwed to walls for protection.
30mm mats for transporter floors.
Reduced bedding
saves on the cost of the material, labour and disposal of the used
bedding. We assume you are aware that commercial stable manure is classed
as industrial waste, disposal of such waste must meet all current
regulations. LESS WASTE, LESS COST!!!
Total cost is under £2.00 per week.
(Based on 12 x 12 stable with 14 slabs and 5 years use). All samples
available - please contact us with your requirements.
