Most skate centers use carpet throughout the building. Carpets are usually roll-goods (traditional roll carpet) or Carpetile. When choosing your carpet, make sure that you use short cut-pile design. It needs to be short to allow people to skate over it, and it needs to be a cut-pile because a loop carpet will not last longer than a month in a roller rink. It is also suggested that you use a nylon carpet.
