Abstract: A plurality of rectangular mat sections that are light enough in weight so as to be handled manually are assembled within an animal stall and permanently adhesively secured to one another into an integral, unitary mat assembly. The mat sections have overlapping surfaces for adhesive reception and are interconnected in a manner somewhat resembling the construction of acoustic ceiling tile. Upon completion of assembly, the mat sections result in a heavy one-piece floor mat that avoids buckling or shifting, is comfortable for the animal and is easy to clean and maintain.
