Looking for opinions on Polylast flooring in barns - mainly in the main aisle and wash stall. Thanks! Haven’t heard much about it or know any barns that have it but seems like a viable solution for barn flooring.
Wonderful stuff. Only problem is $$$ it’s pricey.
I know! $10 per square ft…
I was quoted $16. sq/ft installed.
How does it hold up to horses with shoes on? Especially those that may have borium?
Not that I’m interested but it does look nice. 
Polyast flooring in the barn and wash rack is amazing! It reduces the noise and acts as an insulator. This flooring is also slip resistant and holds up well!!! In the barn isles and wash rack it is laid 1/2" thick, for only $10/sq ft. There are so many benefits to getting this floor. In my opinion, it is well worth the money spent! Horses are safer and LOVE standing on it!
Crossfire,

This may be a dumb question but I had not heard of this floor before. Can you use them for stall flooring? Or has anyone? Or are they better as washrack/aisle ways?
First I’ve heard of it but I like what I see. For those that have it, do you still need stall mats over it or is it thick enough to replace having mats? I am assuming it is water proof v/s permeable?
Yes, I’d love to hear from people who have it. I like the color choices, would like to see how that lasts.
What is it? Went to the website and it just tells how wonderful it is- no basic info. I looked quickly, I refuse to dig for the basics. Is a mat system, is it poured, tell me? You would think a manufacturer would answer at least that very basic question…
There’s a video of it being applied, on the trailer flooring page on their website.
Looks like, in the trailer at least, it’s applied with a bucket and, ummm, trowel? So yeah, sort of pourable…
Interesting, I guess, but wouldn’t it be a simple thing for the website to explain what it is without having to watch videos (which I hate- I can read and look at pictures much quicker than waiting for a corny video to play and spoon feed me the info)

Yep, I agree. It seems a little heavy on the sales pitch side. I found more information about the product by doing a Google search and reading what other people have written about it. Practically nothing from the website itself.
I watched them put this in an old barn on Mike Holmes’ show, looks really cool. It’s ground up rubber and they mix it with something and then spread it around like concrete. Looked great.

Yes, I was looking for a gallery page with lots of pictures of that stuff used in all kinds of places, but could not find hardly any pictures.
That seems strange.
Hey Guys - I did end up getting it and will try to post pics later. I only poured it in the aisle and wash bay, but I haven’t gotten the horses home so I don’t know how it will hold up! It is nice looking, I got a grey, green, black combo. I did not put it in the stalls, as I don’t think it is permeable. I will be interested to see how slick (if at all) it get’s with the horses, there is some texture to it, but obviously not enough to rip/damage the surface. Easy to clean with a little scrubbing/strong hose, and I got a squeegee to sweep water off if needed. After pricing out mats, and rubber pavers - my builder’s price on this product was less.
What do you pour it on top of?
It got poured on top of a concrete base. They ship the rubber pellets, in these big bags and then they mix on site, with a coagulant type coating (that comes in big metal barrels). They did hand lay the material in the designated space, and then they treated the top with another sealant (the non-technical description:) Everything did ship as freight so had to request a truck with a lift-gate (kinda a bitch when they show up to your house and you don’t have a fork lift, even though you have told them these multiple times:).
