Why Use Stable Shield Antibacterial Paint

There has never been a better time to start using Stable Shield antibacterial paint to protect and safeguard your yard. Stable Shield provides an extra barrier, hence reducing the risk of your horse getting ill. The range of antibiotics available is slowly decreasing, as pathogens are slowly building up a resistance and immunity, meaning they are getting harder and harder to treat. At Stable Shield we have a passion for prevention over cure and we believe we all have a sense of duty to horse well being. This can be achieved by removing the emphasis on drugs and antibiotics and focusing on protocol and procedures that considerably reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and pathogens within the equine world. We believe this can be achieved by correct bio-security processes and making sure every measure is taken to keep stable environments clean and disease free.

With diseases easily spread, we should be doing everything we can to minimise the risk to our yards and our horses. By adopting a regular cleaning regime combined with Stable Shield antibacterial paint, you can relax in the knowledge your yard is better protected. To ensure Stable Shield works to its maximum effectiveness, we recommend that your stable is correctly ventilated and cleaned regularly, dirt cleaned from the stable walls, power washed at least every 6 months, then disinfected monthly.

What is Stable Shield antibacterial paint

Stable Shield is a water-based non-toxic paint that can be applied to stables to assist in creating a bio-secure environment for your horse.

Through technological advances in the specific formulations, the antibacterial paint lasts up to three to five years  depending on which product you choose and on the environment. We would advise the paint is then re-applied to ensure the extra barrier in your stable / yard once more.

Easy to apply on walls and ceilings, the paint is adhesive to most surfaces including wood and plastic. Its durable and hardwearing nature is ideal for all yards including, newly built yards, stables, tack rooms, feed rooms and hay barns.

Stable Shield products have been tested by independent laboratories including TNO, the largest research institute in the Netherlands and complies to ISO 22196:201. It is also fully tested by the Irish Equine Centre and approved by Equine Health Ireland.

The Range

We offer Stable Shield Antibacterial paint and the premium product, Stable Shield PLUS (which comes with its mixer). We also recommend you use Stable Shield Base Coat in order to prepare the surface before applying.

While the Stable Shield Antibacterial will last up to 3 years, Stable Shield Plus is a harder wearing, 2-pack coating that will last up to 5 years. Both are cost effective when painting with a standard paint on an annual basis, and you have the additional antibacterial protection.
