Heavy Equipment Calls For Heavy Duty Flooring Solutions

Some statistics put the number of indoor ice rinks in Canada at more than 3,000 – and as many Canadians know, where there are ice rinks, there are Zambonis! These masterful machines resurface the ice and restore a smooth and glossy finish, but while they are repairing the ice, they can wreak havoc on ice rink facility floors.

Zamboni tires are equipped with studded spikes, which create needed surface traction on the ice.  Now imagine what those tires are doing to your concrete floor on route from the storage bay to the ice rink and back again.  Ice surfaces can be cleared up to 14 times per day, making a total of 28 daily trips.  Cracking, pitting and other floor deterioration issues are common problems in many ice rink facilities - Stonhard can help!

Stonclad UT, a troweled polyurethane mortar system, exhibits excellent abrasion, wear, temperature and chemical resistant characteristics.  Not only will Stonclad UT provide heavy-duty protection against the Zamboni's spiked tires, it also offers protection against chemical attack. Easy to clean and slip resistant, Stonclad UT will be the MVP in your facility.
