If you need protective coatings for kennel flooring, count on us.
The flooring in a dog kennel must maintain performance under constant exposure to moisture, cleaning agents, and animal byproducts. Properly specified and installed flooring systems are essential to ensure long-term hygiene, safety, and structural integrity. Resinous coating systems—such as epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane cement—provide a seamless, impermeable surface that prevents liquid penetration and bacterial harboring within joints or cracks.
Key Functions:
Animal Housing & Containment
To provide a secure, comfortable enclosure for individual or group animals designed to prevent escape or injury.
Sanitation & Hygiene
Easy to clean surfaces and proper drainage systems to maintain cleanliness and designed for frequent disinfection to control odor, bacteria, and disease spread.
Feeding & Watering
Integrated food and water systems for convenience and consistency allows for safe handling and delivery of animal nutrition.
Noise & Stress Control
Sound-dampening features to reduce barking or echo, which lowers animal stress.
Climate Control & Ventilation
Heating, cooling, and air exchange systems to maintain healthy temperature and humidity are critical for animal comfort and disease prevention.
Safety for Animals & Staff
Slip-resistant kennel flooring protects both animals and caregivers.
Waste Management
Efficient removal of solid and liquid waste via sloped floors and trench drains prevents contamination and eases maintenance.
Durability & Maintenance
Materials and surfaces must withstand scratching, biting, cleaning chemicals, and wear.
Flooring Requirements:
Slip Resistance
Safety for both animals and staff is critical. Floors must be textured or coated to provide traction, especially when wet.
Chemical & Stain Resistant
Floors must withstand repeated exposure to urine, feces, disinfectants, and cleaning agents without degrading or staining.
Seamless & Non-Porous Surface
Prevents liquids, bacteria, and odors from seeping into cracks or joints. These types of floors are easier to clean and reduce the risk of infection spread.
Durability Against Impact & Abrasion
Kennel flooring must resist scratching from claws, chewing, dragging cages, and frequent traffic. Durable coatings like resinous flooring protect the substrate long-term.
Thermal Comfort & Temperature Tolerance
Floors should not get too cold or hot under paws. Systems must tolerate radiant heating, sun exposure, or hose-downs with hot water.
Easy to Clean & Sanitize
Daily cleaning is standard in kennels. Floors should allow for quick wash-downs with a sloped design incorporating proper drainage.
Odor Control
Non-absorbent materials prevent the retention of organic matter and odors.
Antimicrobial Options
Optional additives can further reduce risk of bacteria growth.
