SurfaceGuard™ By Polylast Global™
A sealed, easy-to-clean poured-in-place non-porous rubber flooring system for facilities that demand hygiene, durability, and wash-down performance.
SurfaceGuard™ is our dedicated poured-in-place non-porous rubber flooring option for veterinary facilities, kennels, world-class barns, athletic facilities, and other high-use environments where you need a sealed surface that stands up to constant cleaning and heavy foot traffic.
While our porous rubber surfacing is designed for maximum drainage, Polylast’s SurfaceGuard™ non-porous rubber flooring system keeps liquids on the surface for controlled runoff, easier wash-down, and simplified maintenance.

Porous vs Non-Porous Rubber Surfaces
At Polylast™, we understand that different environments demand customized flooring solutions. That’s why we offer both porous and non-porous rubber surfacing systems, each designed to meet specific needs in equine facilities, trailers, large animal veterinary facilities, barns, wash racks, and more. The right choice depends on how your space handles water, how you plan to clean it, and the kind of experience you want for users. This page is designed to help you understand the difference — and show you when SurfaceGuard™ non-porous flooring is the right solution.
Porous Rubber Surfacing (Drain-Through Systems)
Our porous rubber surfacing is an open-graded, drain-through system. It’s engineered so that water passes through the rubber layer and into the base below. In order to have a porous system, you will need to have somewhere for the water to drain once it flows through the flooring - i.e., a drain or a sloped base that drains away from your structure.
Typical characteristics:
Water drains vertically through the surface
Excellent for trailers, walking paths, barns with drains or sloped concrete
Helps reduce standing water after rain, preventing slips, falls and injuries
Reduces order in trailers
Textured surface for traction
Porous systems are ideal when you want water to move through the surface rather than stay on top of it.
SurfaceGuard™ Non-Porous Rubber Flooring
SurfaceGuard™ is our poured-in-place non-porous rubber flooring system. Instead of allowing water to drain through, SurfaceGuard™ provides an impermeable, sealed wear layer that keeps liquids on the surface for controlled drainage and wash-down cleaning.
Typical characteristics:
Sealed, non-porous rubber surface
Perfect for hose-down and mop cleaning
Top choice for veterinary facilities, kennels, and world-class barns
Ideal where antimicrobial safety and sanitation are a top priority
For use when you don’t want liquids soaking into the surface and when there isn’t an existing drainage system (i.e., no drain or sloped base)
SurfaceGuard™ is ideal when you want to prioritize sanitation, hygiene, and easy cleaning.
