kennel floor sealer

[jigsaw 11,865]

I have tiles down for 23 years and now they smell at times.I think the grout has soaked a lot of the piss and in the winter I find they never dry after washing and even if you squeege.Im doing new kennells also but only bare concrete this time.

I get floor paint at work the none slip stuff with small grains mixed in.

 

ya get a tin of very thick paint with like sand in it, and tin of thiners.

 

mix it at how thick you want it.

 

Seems to be doing ok on our workshop floors and on my trailer lol dont know about a kennel thou.

Is that not like an ice ring in the winter Dunkanon?

 

yes they are a bit slippy when wet, but not enough to give cause for concern and once mopped they dry soon enough. Ive had both tiled and concrete floored kennels and definately prefer the tiles.

I bought a kennel and run from Timberbuild last year and, due to its placement within the garden, I opted for one of their raised run floors with a resin coating. Really glad I did as it's so easy to keep clean. I find that concrete runs smell too much as they're a tad porous...and my last one was adjacent to the washing line so putting the washing out wasn't pleasant.

Give the concrete floor a couple of coats of thomsons water seal, helps stops them being porous.

my mate had a few council boys to do his with the stuff they use to put white lines on roads awesome and easy to clean

CONCRETE is pourous its ment to be unless its a desighn mix , thomsons waterseal is not miroporous its a sealer

there are many water permible sealers on the market you should use one of these , its all down to cost , epoxy flooring

is the best a system desighd to hold water , there are many , floor paint is effective as long as the prep is right

just reading back on old posts i just tiled 1 kennel floor 3 weeks ago as a trial and its constantly wet with dog skidding around it even after squeegee thank fcuk i didnt tile all the kennels after putting all the work into it im thinking of taking them back up unless i can put something on tiles to stop dog slipping.

After reading all the above do lads not find after time the pens start to smell of piss no matter how often there hosed down? I'm just on with a new kennel block at the min.

Dont find piss a problem if i use a cap full of jeyes fluid in a 5 gallon bucket of cold water and fire it across floor and push it around with yard brush in to every area. With jeyes fluid make sure to rinse out with fresh water afterwards or dogs can get sore paws. Too little is better than too strong when using jeyes fluid but always rinse after. I have never used a hose or powerwasher in kennels it sprays piss and sh1t everywhere on walls, ceiling and into other kennels a powerwasher could spread disease quicker especially when your eating and drinking it and its allover your hair and body and then your dragging it into next kennel or someone elses. I flush in a bucket of water with jeyes scrub with yard brush then rinse it and pull it out with asphalt squeegee or yard brush into drain. If piss gets up the walls or bed i sprinkle it with jeyes in a watering can.

I might try pull out excess water off tiles with one of those soft sponge squeegees and see if that works because the one im using is a hard rubber type.

I have concrete floors in kennels not sealed,I use chlorus most days in the summer months and never a smell of piss.i don't know is it available in uk.its chlorine based so the place smells a bit like a swimming pool.
