Maintenance

No, as the skating surface is made of a high-quality synthetic material, no electrical power points are necessary.
This synthetic skating surface is therefore more economically efficient than an artificial ice skating rink.

Yes, during cleaning a special spray is used to protect the floor. In case of heavy pollution, an environmentally-friendly cleaning agent based on Soya is used.

No that is not necessary. Since we have specially developed an indoor and outdoor floor. This allows the skate floors to be fully used 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.

Other questions
