A finished sub-floor should be hard, smooth, and level. You should be able to walk across it without leaving a footprint. Now that the sub-floor of your stall has been prepped, it is time to begin custom fitting the rubber matting to your stall floor. Properly fitting your new stall mat is just as important as picking the right stable flooring for your particular project. Our team here at The Rubberman.com views stall matting as an investment in your barn. This is because a correctly installed TRU-STALL or TRU-FIT floor will last 15 to 20 years. We are committed to standing by our customers every step of the way. We are here not only to assist you in purchasing the right product, but are willing to share our combined 25+ years of experience in properly installing your new rubber matting. With this in mind, we would like to take you through the custom fitting stage of the installation step by step. Custom Fitting your New Stall Flooring The first step in custom fitting your new stall flooring is to assemble the proper tools. You will need a 4' carpenter's "T" square, hammer, tape measure, BIC White-out pen, chalk line, utility knife, heavy duty razor blades, kneepads and a pair of gloves.
These items can be purchased at any local home improvement store. Take special note of the BIC White-Out pen. We have tried using chalk among other things, but this BIC White-Out pen is best for marking on the black rubber mats. Most importantly, it washes right off leaving no mess behind.
