Abstract
A stable floor for animals which is in structural combination with a floor covering sheet having at least two layers: a compressible sublayer of a resilient and highly porous filamentary matting partly embedded in a top layer which is impermeable to moisture. The floor covering sheet provides good insulation and has dimensional stability so as to remain resilient over a prolonged period of time.
Claims7
In structural combination with a stable floor for animals, a soft and resilient floor covering sheet comprising a highly porous, compressible sublayer in placement on said floor and a polymeric top layer which is impermeable to moisture, said compressible sublayer consisting essentially of a matting sheet composed of continuous, looped synthetic polymeric filaments intersecting one another and fused at their points of intersection, said filaments having a diameter of 0.4 to 2.5 mm, said matting having in its normal non-compressed state a porosity exceeding 90% with its porous structure being sufficiently open to prevent any accumulation of capillary moisture, and the upper face of said matting being at least partly embedded in said impermeable top layer.
