Hard-surface floors in all types of facilities, including park and recreation centers, make a big statement. Very often they not only are the initial impression visitors have of a facility, but leave a lasting impression as well.
In years past, when budgets were ample and labor costs were lower, park administrators could spend money to keep the floors glossy and in tip-top condition. However, those days are but a memory now, as some centers struggle just to keep their doors open, let alone a shine on the floor.
For a facility, floors are definitely an investment, often a large one, and the better maintained they are, the longer they will last--allowing for cost savings in the long run. Fortunately, through advances in floor-care equipment technologies, more thorough training and proper workloading and scheduling, floors can be kept looking their best and have a longer lifespan--and it can all be done without costing “an arm and a leg.”
