I have a lot of questions for both products.

WERM-appears to seal the floor. I have seen several ranch trailers that have it and most have had an area where it was damaged. Once damaged, if not repaired, I would have to believe that corrosion would occur. If taken excellent care of and any damage was repaired immediately, I see this being a good product but question the economics.

Polylast-this product just doesn't make sense to me. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding this product.

To install, the floor must have drainage--so you drill holes in the floor to drain any liquid thru the floor as needed (I have seen over 60 1/2" holes used). Or the floor is designed to have slots or openings in it to do the same as the holes. Ok, besides have a weaker floor due to the holes or the slots, the giant in the room, is what happens to the liquid sitting in the polylast where there is not a hole or slot thru the floor to drain? IF urine sits on aluminum for any length of time, the aluminum turns to powder and soon a corroded hole thru the floor is present. I guess that 90% of the trailer floor would be covered with this product, with 10% of the floor being holes or slots for drainage. Does that 90% hold urine between the polylast particles adjacent to the aluminum floor? IMO, it would and it would promote premature floor failure.

I am curious to see a removed poly last floor on a well used trailer that has been in place for 5 years. I can't help but believe it would be full of corrosion/pits/holes. Hopefully I am wrong, but any of the dealers I have visited with, just shrugged their shoulders and say, it is better than mats.....

For me, I hate mats as much as much as anyone. But the economics and the above issues, leave me wondering. Thanks for your time.
