Its common to refer to a product that has reached the end of its life cycle as “legacy”. Or as in technology: “The product is end-of-life.”
At Horner Sports Flooring, we would prefer to call these products “legendary floors”. Truth is, many of basketball’s greats began their careers on one of these legendary floors. And as far as “end-of-life” describing one of our floors, well, its not accurate.
A Horner Sports Floor is not like a cell phone. We recognize that it is a large investment that our customers expect to last a long time. We expect it to last a long time too. So as long as your floor is stamped “HORNER FLOORING” on its underside, we’ll do our best to supply the materials needed to repair and maintain its playability. And when it comes time to finally replace your “legendary” floor, we hope you’ll do so with another floor stamped “HORNER FLOORING” on the underside and continue the legend.
If you have questions or concerns about your Horner legendary system, contact us here.
