Why should I restore the interior of my slide?

What type of problems can occur to a slide interior?

​

The interior of a water slide is where all the action happens. This is where most restoration on commercial water slides occurs. The problems can include: spider cracking, chips in gelcoat, hard water buildup (causing the slide to turn to a faded white color), leaks from expansion joints, sticky spots, and more. 

​

What are the reasons to restore the interior of my water slide?

​

There are a few simple reasons why you should choose to restore the interior of your water slide. First and foremost, interior maintenance of your water slide will maintain guest safety. If the fiberglass is exposed due to a chip in the gelcoat, it can cause harm to those riding the slide. Sticky spots can cause patrons to be stopped in the water slide, encouraging them to stand up to get moving again, which can be very dangerous. Hard water buildup can cause sticky spots and hurts the curb appeal of your slide. The goal of water slide maintenance is to prevent any large problem from happening, but when there are, there are solutions as well.

How does SlideWays exceed slide interior restoration expectations?

​

There are different solutions to the problems mentioned above and these include:

   1. Re-gelcoat the interior of the slide: This gives you a fresh start. You will have a brand new interior             and you can even choose what color you want! This option is best for slides that have mild to severe         gelcoat chips, years of calcium buildup, and/or multiple visible spider cracks.

​

   2. Polish and Wax (Buff and Wax): This is a solution for water slides that are in semi-good to good                   condition. Things that you may see on a slide that a polish and wax can help address are: Minor                   scratches, light to medium hard water buildup, and a sticky ride path.
