One consideration often overlooked is maintenance. Synthetic ice rink is not maintenance free – it has to be kept clean on a regular basis. We generally advise at least once daily to keep a surface clean. That is typically enough for an indoor surface. Depending on the location – more than once per day may be required if there is a lot of dust and dirt getting on the surface. However compare that to hourly for a refrigerated surface under normal use. So it’s a good idea to include a process for cleaning the artificial ice rink surface daily so that the users can have the best experience possible.
