More about Dura-Tuff® Plastic Creep & Nursery Floor - 18" x 24" Natural
DURA-TUFF Nursery Floor System combines high-impact, wear-resistant plastic flooring with rust and corrosion-proof fiberglass beams to create clean, comfortable, long-lasting flooring for your pigs. The solid plastic construction resists bacteria build-up and sheds waste easily, while larger openings allow for better manure filtration. DURA-TUFF’s interlocking system creates a 1/4” (7mm) gap at the ends and sides of the floor, preventing manure buildup common to tight-fitting floors. The high/low rib design provides superior traction even when wet, and prevents manure from being pushed to the corners, which can cause premature corrosion on steel penning. DURA-TUFF plastic swine floor does not rob pigs of body heat, providing a warmer, more comfortable environment for your pigs. University studies indicate pigs on plastic floors versus metal floors have shown a 15% improvement in their feed-to-gain ratio due to less stress.

Cleanability
- The 7/16” (11mm) openings equate to a 50% open area for better manure filtration.
- The 1/4” (7mm) gap around the perimeter of each piece provides superior cleanability compared to other floors that fit tight. This gap allows manure to filter through instead of building up and is easier to power wash.
- The high/low rib design provides superior traction and prevents manure from being pushed out to the corners, which can cause premature corrosion of the steel penning.
- V-shaped rib design prevents manure accumulation on the underside of the floor and is easily accessible for top-down cleaning.
- The solid plastic construction is rust/corrosion proof, resists bacteria build up, and sheds waste easily.
Durability
- DURA-TUFF plastic flooring is made from a special high-impact virgin polypropylene material making its wear and impact resistance superior to other plastic flooring.
- Deep cross ribs that provide superior strength.
