Like any other product, not all synthetic ices are the same. We will talk about Xtraice synthetic ice, world leader<\/a> in manufacturing and distribution of synthetic ice rinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the advantages of this technical floor is that when it is very used, you can turn it and use again on the other side of the panel, getting a new product for a second time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xtraice gives 12 years guarantee on the Pro version<\/strong> and 6 years on the Lite version.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you maintain your synthetic ice rink?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Now that we understand how long synthetic ice lasts,<\/em> let’s look at how to properly mantain it.<\/p>\n

When we skate on a synthetic ice rink, the friction of the blade with surface creates a small layer of this material, like dust, it is not appreciated when you skate.<\/span><\/p>\n

To have a correct operation of the rink, we recommend cleaning the surface with a mop<\/strong> and later with a <\/span>cleaning machine<\/a><\/span> to ensure the proper maintenance. The cleaning frequency will depend on the usage of the rink and if it is located indoors or outdoors because of the rain or wind could polute the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

A second thing for its maintenance is the <\/span>daily sharpening of the skates<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that having a simple maintenance, without any specialized technicians<\/strong> for its management is enough and also you won\u2019t have any expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
