Here's why horse owners choose REGUPOL:

Superior Horse Comfort & Health

Our cushioned rubber flooring creates soft, supportive surfaces with superior shock absorption that prevents joint damage and hock sores. Sound-dampening properties create peaceful environments while easy-to-clean surfaces promote better respiratory health and reduce dust buildup.

Massive Cost Savings & Durability

You can save up to 75% on bedding costs, many horses with our rolls and tiles need no bedding at all. Combined with 10+ year durability versus 3-5 years for budget alternatives, REGUPOL delivers exceptional return on investment with minimal maintenance requirements.

Versatile Australian Engineering

Install over concrete, asphalt, timber, or steel surfaces or easily laid over compacted surfaces for an adhesive-free install. Perfect for stables, walkways, wash bays, horse walkers and any area that requires world-class rubber flooring. UV-stabilised and frost-resistant construction handles Australia's extreme weather conditions while maintaining performance year-round.

The Hidden Costs of Budget Stall Mats

Safety & Comfort Issues: Hard surfaces like budget vulcanised mats with minimal shock absorption increase injury risk. Dangerous metal fixings are often used to install, which can create trip hazards and sharp protrusions that can puncture hooves and other areas of a horse, leading to vet bills. They also often become slippery when wet, raising the risk of slips and falls.

Cost & Quality Problems: Persistent bad odours from sulphur vulcanisation never quite disappear. Limited warranty from some suppliers, limited flooring knowledge and installation guidance, and limited local support when problems arise.

The REGUPOL Advantage: German-engineered quality, superior slip resistance in all conditions, low odour, soft and comfortable, long term durability and comprehensive Australian support deliver genuine long-term value that saves money while protecting your horses' health and safety.

Over 10 years of heavy-duty performance with proper installation, with most customers experiencing even longer. Built specifically for Australia's extreme weather and constant horse traffic, making REGUPOL a smart investment that pays for itself through reduced maintenance and bedding costs, as well as reduced replacement costs compared to budget options.

Budget vulcanised rubbers can also harden under our harsh sun and need more frequent replacing and maintenance.
