Renovation lying areas with mushroom dividers

The mushroom divider is an older divider construction type and still can be found in many old cattle houses for this reason. These dividers are still in demand nowadays. They are not cantilevered, so pockets must be cut into the cover for the pipes, e.g. for continuous rolls.

The following example shows a solution with small WINGFLEX single mats. In this case, the pockets are not cut into the mat, but rather into the wide profiles used. This way the mats stay intact and can also be used for another installation – e.g. when exchanging dividers.

Before renovation:

After renovation:

WINGFLEX mats with wide profiles were installed:

the cubicle row is completely covered with the mats

from the rear concrete edge the installation distance is marked and the mats are aligned to it

the distances for the profiles are determined

if necessary, mats are marked and cut to fit

then the pockets for the pipes are marked on the profiles and cut out

then the profiles are inserted exactly

since the profiles are divided, an additional countersink must be set for fastening

the profiles are fixed at each countersink, the screws are not yet fastened tight

now all pre-installed screws are fastened tight

then the mats are fastened 2 times at the front edge

the mat edges of both outer mats are fastened afterwards with profiles

finally ergoBOARDS are installed at the front mat edges as brisket boards
