Hockey arenas present unique challenges when it comes to flooring solutions, especially in high-moisture environments like dressing rooms. These areas require robust systems that can withstand not only the physical wear and tear but also the constant exposure to moisture.
A couple weeks ago I got a call from Clayton at The Twenty-One Twelve who were ready to install a high end rubber floor at the Dan Snyder Memorial Arena. Following the removal of the old, floating rubber floor moisture was clearly an issue.
BNE recommended installing Koster VAP (Vapor-Active Primer), a high-performance moisture control system designed to provide the perfect solution for such demanding environments.
