How Did Equi-Turf™ Come To Be?Equi-Turf™ evolved from Unique Surfacing, LLC, 19 years ago, devoted to playground surfaces across the United States. Family-owned, this business still provides playground surfacing with the primary focus being the Equi-Turf™ surface. What Sets Equi-Turf™ Apart From Other Flooring Competitors?Equi-Turf™ is truly unique because it is NOT made of polyurethane; it is comprised of a special formulated Polyurea. Equi-Turf™ is seamless, permanent, and cost- effective. It truly is a permanent solution and a one-time investment. Hard-earned money no longer needs to be spent on stall mats that do not fit perfectly. Also, time, which is money, will no longer be spent on back-breaking tasks when attempting to disinfect soiled mats. Equi-Turf™ promotes a bacteria-free surface due to simple disinfection. This truly unique surface is slip resistent and offers health benefits. Where Can I Apply Equi-Turf™? What If My Walls Need Protection Too? That is one of the best selling points! Not only is Equi-Turf™ ideal of floor surfacing, it is also used in a wall pad application. Again, creating a seamless transition from a 4’ – 8’ padded wall into the floor itself. Equi-Turf™ is perfect for use in horse stalls, horse trailers, barn aisle ways, tack rooms, veterinary facilities, -- even playgrounds, poolsides and patios. Is Equi-Turf™ Easy To Keep Clean And Sanitary?Yes! The surface is completely sanitizable promoting a bacteria-free surface. It is totally resistant to highly toxic and acidic fluids, including urine. Maintenance is very simple. Common, household chemicals and disinfectants, with the exception of bleach, are recommended for use on the Equi-Turf™ surface. Although it is not required, power washing (do not exceed 1500 psi) will improve the aesthetic appearance of the surface. This may be done 1 to 2 times per year. For stain removal, the use of a commercial or household detergent soap that is non-caustic, non-acidic or solvent-based, mixed with warm water is recommended. Cleaners and disinfectants NOT available over-the-counter are prohibited under the 5 Year Warranty unless express written approval from Equi-Turf™, Inc. Can I Use Equi-Turf™ For Flooring and Walls Of My Horse Trailer? You BET! Equi-TurfTM is ideal for horse trailers as well. Aiding in transport, this surface allows not only comfort but safety. Added grit to the floor surface ensures stability and sure-footedness. The Equi-TurfTM surface, once again, is permanent, non-porous, seamless and completely sanatizable. Most trailers of today are made from aluminum, Equi-TurfTM can be sprayed up the walls as well as the floor to help protect your trailer investment from corrosion due to horse urine. Although, significantly beneficial, surprisingly enough, Equi-TurfTM does NOT add much to overall trailer weight." Is Equi-Turf™ Easy On Hooves and Horses With Arthritis?Absolutely! The Equi-Turf™ surface has been proven to be beneficial on the body reducing stress on joints and arthritis common to horses standing in hard and uneven stalls. Research suggests Equi-Turf™ promotes hoof expansion allowing for increased circulation. In bovine facilities, Equi-Turf™ has been proven to increase milk production by 25% - 32% in milking parlors and helps to prevent life-threatening cattle injuries.

Depending on the application, the surface will be custom-designed to accommodate drains, doorways, and any other specific needs, as thin as 3/8”.

The system is built in two layers: a bottom cushion layer of recycled industrial rubber bound with a high-strength polyurethane binder, topped by a specially formulated 2-component Polyurea wearing surface. Because it is poured as a single continuous floor, there are no seams, gaps, or mat edges for urine, blood, and bacteria to hide in.![]() Why Polyurea instead of ordinary polyurethane?The founder is explicit that the top coat is Polyurea, not polyurethane: "My original product started out as a polyurethane product and did not withstand highly acidic fluids therefore I went back to the drawing board and developed the specially formulated Equi-Turf™ polyurea surface." Polyurea is resistant to urine and ammonia, is both antifungal and antibacterial, and will not break down over time the way polyurethane does. Its high elongation property gives the floor elasticity that flexes under hoof pressure instead of cracking.![]() The cushioned rubber lets the hoof sink slightly for sure footing, reducing slips while increasing circulation and easing stress on joints. That makes it especially valuable for elderly, injured, or recovering animals, and for high-risk spaces like recovery rooms, induction and foaling stalls, and wash racks. An optional antimicrobial agent can be added, and the surface can be disinfected in place without ever pulling up matting. ![]() Where Equi-Turf™ can be installedBeyond horse stalls, aisle-ways, grooming stalls, cross-tie areas, and arenas, Equi-Turf™ is used in veterinary operating, radiology, and isolation rooms, canine and feline boarding facilities, and horse trailers (floor plus 1" rubber wall pads). It has been proven in bovine facilities and milking parlors and is also chosen as a safe surface for playgrounds, gymnasiums, daycares, zoos, museums, and county parks.How the floor is installed and what it costsThis is not a do-it-yourself product — installation is performed only by Equi-Turf's own trained personnel, and the surface can be custom-tailored at any depth starting from 3/8". It bonds over compacted, leveled concrete, asphalt, crushed stone, stone-dust, or gravel fines, but not over sand. Pricing is quoted by square footage, application, location, and color, and the company states that all prices include installation; six standard colors are offered — Brick Red, Charcoal, Desert Sand, Ford Blue, Forest Green, and Metal Gray.How to get a free Equi-Turf™ estimateEqui-Turf, Inc. has served equine, bovine, and veterinary facilities across the United States and Canada and backs its materials with a 5-year warranty.
