I'm looking at a trailer with Polylast Flooring and wondered if it is worth the extra money to have the Polylast vs. traditional floor mats. Pros and cons?

I had it put in a trailer a few years ago.  I wasn't crazy about it afterwards.  If you have a horse that paws at all, it will wear through the flooring.  Cleaning it was ok,and liked the idea of not using woodshavings.  I just always wondered how much urine was truly being rinsed away since there are only certain holes it can drain out.   I sold that trailer and did not have polylast flooring in the new one.

I have polylast in both of my trailers and LOVE it. Especially having a horse with a sensitive respiratory system. Easy to clean, haven’t had any horses slipping (shod and barefoot). I’m seeing posts on fb of some people having problems, but I haven’t and I’ve had one for over two years.

We have it and love it.  Ours was installed by a former Polylast dealer that also installs epoxy floors.  Rubber bits are rubber bits, they don’t use the same epoxy but feel theirs is every bit as good if not better.

Trailer smells so much better, no dust, no flies.  It has cushion when I step on it, I presume it does cut down on some road vibration for them.

Easy to clean- I scoop poop every trip and every 3rd or 4th trip I grab the power washer and spray it out.  I spray until the water is no longer green/brown.  I do end up washing quite a bit out the back of the trailer, but it is wet in spots under the trailer when I get done too.  Takes maybe 5-10 minutes - I couldn’t pull my mats that quick.

We also had our ramp done (sealed, it does not drain) because the mat on it was shot.

I love mine. Would put it in every trailer I own!! My favorite thing is the nonslip even when wet. Hauling babies who can sometimes panic, it's nice that slipping is greatly reduced when the floor is wet and they have a meltdown.I love that it stays in place. I have a stock sided trailer so when it rains or snows it drains out instead of pooling and causing floor damage. It's nice not having shavings. My installer told me that a trailer company was putting them in a few years ago and their technique or chemical mix wasn't quite right so they did have some issues. But they have since fixed that issue. It cleans up so nice too! I highly recommend it!!!

Does it help with the vibrations from road travel?

I have the Werm floor in mine.  I love it.  It's no slip.  After a few years it did have a spot where my horse pawed.  They sent me a repair kit. It was easy to fix and you can't tell 

a difference.  I absolutely don't miss the matts.

Our living quarters came with it. I love it. Would it change my mind if I found a trailer without it I liked? No. Would I pay to have it installed into another trailer that has mats? No. But I will enjoy it considering I have it!
