A Hosed-Down Concrete Barn Aisle Is As Slick As Glass
We pour rubber surfacing in barn aisles, wash stalls, grooming bays and tack rooms on the horse farms along Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street north of the built-up town. Concrete is hard on a standing horse's legs, slick under a shod hoof, and cold for anyone working in the barn in January.
A three-quarter-inch to one-inch rubber surfacing aisle grips a hoof wet or dry, cushions the horse, and drains through so the aisle is not standing in water after a wash. It is one piece, so there are no mat edges to catch a hoof or a wheelbarrow, and it cleans with a hose.
Restaurant Patios And Seniors' Courtyards Need A Surface That Does Not Ice
Our team pours rubber surfacing on patios, courtyards, walkways and entries at restaurants, retirement homes and hotels where a fall is a liability. Kerr Village and Lakeshore Road patios run from April to October, and a rubber floor is dry a few minutes after rain rather than slick for an hour. Seniors' residences get a courtyard path that is soft, grippy and level from door to bench.
Brown, slate and grey blends look right under string lights and planters, and the surface is quiet under chairs. We schedule commercial work around opening hours and pour in sections so the business stays open.
Rubber Surfacing Handles The Traffic A Commercial Site Actually Gets
We pour commercial rubber surfacing at a thickness that fits the traffic: a walkway gets half an inch, fitness equipment gets three-quarters, a playground structure gets up to four inches. Condo podium decks and rooftop terraces get a light, seamless surface that drains and does not lift the membrane below. School grounds and church lots get colour that is coloured through the granule and does not fade.
On a working site the rubber surfacing goes in during the hours that suit the business, and every section is walkable by the following morning. A restaurant patio can be poured on a Monday and seated on a Tuesday. A barn aisle is done stall by stall so the horses are moved once, not twice.
The base has to be sound, clean and free of sealer or paint, the same as a backyard. We look at it, tell you what needs repair, and put the whole scope in the quote.
