Protect Local, State, and National Parks from Weather, Vandalism, and Maintenance Challenges

Hundreds of millions of people visit our national parks every year. That doesn’t even include local and state parks. Whether you’re a history lover, outdoor enthusiast, or simply looking to unplug from screens of any size, our parks offer an escape many people count on to be there when needed. Nevertheless, there are park challenges that need solutions.

Special-Lite is a perfect match for park buildings, restrooms, and other structures that are a part of these treasures. Those buildings require reliable, low-maintenance door systems and bathroom partitions that last a lifetime.

Due to exposure to the elements, doors, frames, and bathroom partitions face various challenges at park facilities. Below, we’ll look at some of those challenges and explore solutions.

Park Challenges

Weathering and Corrosion: Park doors are exposed to rain, wind, humidity, and extreme temperatures, which can cause damage such as rust, corrosion, and warping.

Vandalism & Security: Unfortunately, park buildings, including doors and bathroom partitions, can be targets for vandalism.

Durability: High-traffic areas in park buildings lead to a lot of wear and tear on doors, frames, and bathroom partitions, impacting their use.

Temperature control: Temperatures inside your buildings must be maintained regardless of outside weather. Doors play a crucial role.

Maintenance: Parks require doors that are easy to maintain and repair to minimize disruptions to park operations and downtime. Combine limited staff and popular attractions, and you have a lot that needs attention; your doors shouldn’t have to compete.

These challenges highlight the importance of choosing high-quality doors, frames, and bathroom partitions designed explicitly for any local, state, or national park.
