Does Installing Rubber Flooring in Stables Create a Bad Odour?

In the world of equine care, ensuring the comfort and health of horses is of real importance. A significant component of this care is the choice of stable flooring. Rubber flooring is a popular choice, yet misconceptions about potential odours often deter stable managers and horse owners. However, not all rubber flooring solutions are created equal, and Kura rubber mats distinguish themselves as the superior choice, effectively debunking common myths about rubber flooring odours.

The Concern Over Rubber Flooring Odours

A common concern among equine enthusiasts is whether rubber flooring in stables will lead to unpleasant odours. The truth is, this concern largely stems from experiences with non-vulcanised rubber products or those made from inferior materials. These can absorb moisture and harbour bacteria, leading to a build-up of unpleasant smells over time.

Kura: The Odour-Free Solution

NumatAGRI’s commitment to innovation and quality has led to the development of the Kura line of rubber matting, these mats specifically address and eliminate the issue of odours in stables. Here’s how Kura stands apart:

Full Vulcanisation: Kura products are fully vulcanised, preventing the absorption or build-up of moisture and bacteria in the rubber itself. This process significantly reduces the potential for odours, setting Kura apart from other rubber flooring options.
Studded Base Design: The unique studded base of Kura mats ensures moisture can drain away effectively, preventing the trapping of moisture and the resultant odour issues common with flat based or ribbed base mats.
Optimal Use of Bedding: While Kura’s design minimises moisture retention, using a small amount of bedding, especially on flat floors, enhances this effect by preventing any moisture from seeping through to the underside of the mats.
