Regular Posts: 69	Do you use the shavings along with these flooring systems? I recently bought a trailer with the polylast and the seller had shavings on the flooring. When I asked about it, he said you still need to use shavings but I had thought that it kind of took the place of shavings.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 599	I bought my trailer new at a dealer last fall. They said not to use shavings on the polylast floor, but they didn’t mention that the warranty would be void if I did.....

Location: Not Where I Want to Be	I would think that the shavings would eventually fill in the voids and keep it from draining like it was supposed to. Just an assumptioin since I have never owned a trailer with that kind of floor but it makes sense.

Expert Posts: 2604 Location: Texas	I have the WERM floor and yes, I still use shavings. My horses won't pee if there is a chance of them getting splashed. (I know... they are spoiled.) Also, the shavings cut down on the road noise and vibration. I hauled a couple of times without shavings and my one horse was trembling when I got to where I was going. So at least a light layer of shavings for my boys.
