SOFT PLAY PARKS
HEALTH AND SAFETY
MEASURES With your littlest guests in mind, we put several health & safety measures in place during the soft play area design and installation process. SOFT FOAM SURFACES All of our play pieces have high-quality, super soft foam surfaces that are smooth and protective. APPROPRIATE SIZE AND SCALE FOR KIDS The size of each play piece is just the right scale for young children with grab points positioned where playing children would expect to find them. ANTIMICROBIAL SURFACES Parents may take comfort in knowing that our play pieces are coated with ASTM code compliant antimicrobial urethanes, which inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. ASTM COMPLIANT All elements in our soft play parks meet or exceed standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
SAFETY FLOORING EXCEEDING ASTM’s STANDARDS Play structures are secured atop soft, safe flooring, which exceeds ASTM’s standards for drop and fall ratings, ultimately protecting children and keeping them safe. For indoor play areas, our extra padding flooring is specially engineered to cushions falls. For outdoor play areas, our impact absorbing poured rubber surfacing has a durable wear layer along with a cushion layer to give kids a safe landing.
RULE SIGNS Safety first! Rules posted at the entrance of each soft play park inform guests of the guidelines for play and adult supervision. In addition to promoting a safe play environment, rules signs can be designed in the theme of your play park, adding to the overall ambiance.
“ CENTER STAGE’S WORK WAS FAST, EFFICIENT AND IMPECCABLY CLEAN...” “Center Stage’s barricades division is exceptionally responsive. As a general manager with a center undergoing two major renovations and an expansion, Center Stage provided pre-constructed barricades for the new expansion wing plus any barricades or backdrops for store vacancies or temporary tenants. In all situations, Center Stage’s work was fast, efficient and impeccably clean. Their work teams were extremely responsive to last-minute requests and they all were very respectful of the finishes throughout the center.” -Liz Napoli President, MC & M, Ltd., / President, NY/NJ Council of Shopping Centers
BARRICADES
NO SPACKLE NO PAINT NO MESS Center Stage Productions transforms vacancies into branding powerhouses with a patented modular barricade system. Years ahead of traditional drywall barricades, our innovative barricade system provides a quick, durable and clean alternative for your property. Our barricade system is environmentally sound and has achieved the highest possible fire rating. Our modular barricade wall panels connect seamlessly, and don’t require spackling or sanding of the joints that create clouds of dust. The wall panels come in a neutral color, so no painting is required. Custom graphics are printed in-house and are easily applied to the surface, creating a truly dramatic finished barricade.
Apart from our innovative barricade system, you will appreciate the exceptional client service from our experienced and professional staff during the barricade ordering, installation and removal process. Your work is complete with a call or a click and we handle the rest with an efficient system that delivers and installs your modular barricade and graphics too. With our after-hours installation, there is minimal disruption to your property and no extra effort needed from your staff. When the time comes for your barricade to be removed, one call or email is all it takes. A hassle-free process, an innovative system and exceptional service, make Center Stage Productions the right choice for your organization.
BARRICADES
WE DELIVER WALLS THAT WORK
QUICK INSTALLATION Our quick locking system is ingenious in its simplicity. No specialized tools are required to construct complex barricade configurations.
NEUTRAL COLOR & EASY TO CLEAN Our scuff-resistant, textured surface provides superior protection. Minor scratches simply blend in to the neutrally colored material and are easily washed away with soap and water.
VIRTUALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE Constructed from durable modern materials, featuring a hard-wearing surface with a subtle flexibility, our barricades can withstand impact that would damage traditional sheetrock walls.
ROLLED CORNERS Unlike traditional sheetrock and wood frame structures, our modern materials can be formed around corners. This provides for smooth, seamless graphic transitions as barricade walls change direction at corners and intersections.
UNLIMITED HEIGHT Superior strength, light-weight materials, and a quick locking system, allows our barricade structures to be stacked to virtually any height.
DOUBLE DOORS We offer a selection of entrance options including perfectly flush double doors and fully hinged panels, which allow large contractor items in and out of the work site easily.
PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY Virtually all aspects of our revolutionary barricades are protected by patents or are under patent review.
BARRICADES MAXIMIZE BRAND
EXPOSURE WITH
GRAPHICS Every modular barricade installation is a marketing opportunity. Our graphic design department will work closely with you to create an advertising and branding powerhouse. Over night, your design will be printed in-house using our state-of-the-art digital printers. We will transfer your design concept to a durable vinyl graphic that wraps the barricade from floor to ceiling and around rolled corners for a seamless image with impact. A highly effective way to maximize brand exposure and increase awareness, great barricade graphics will grab the attention of your target audience. With our barricade graphics installation, your image is always at work.
BARRICADES
REDUCE Our innovative, environmentally sound modular barricades have a useful life of 20+ years compared to traditional drywall barricades, which only last the life of the job before going to a landfill. REUSE Our eco-friendly modular barricades start life as recycled materials. We fabricate the barricade wall panels from reclaimed materials that would have otherwise occupied landfills. RECYCLE Our modular barricades can be recycled at the end of their life. All of our aluminum framing is 100% recyclable and our textured facing material can be recycled to make materials for other industries.
We estimate that we prevent tons of waste materials from going to America’s landfills every year. We continue to seek out eco-friendly ideas and believe in doing our part to preserve the earth for future generations.
When you choose Center Stage, you are preserving landfill space, giving useful materials a second life and making an environmentally responsible choice.
CLASS A/1 FIRE RATED BARRICADE SYSTEMS The highest fire rating achievable! Our barricade system has achieved a Class A/1 Fire Rating, the highest fire rating in the industry. All materials used in our barricade installations meet or exceed all international building and fire codes including ASTM-E84 for flame spread and smoke development. Even better, our Class A/1 Fire Rated barricade wall panels come standard with every modular barricade job, with no additional charge. Why are Class A/1 Fire Rated modular barricades important? Building regulations and fire codes are strict for all construction sites. Barricades, like all structures, must comply with these regulations. The Center Stage Productions Class A/1 Fire Rated Modular Barricade System is easy to install and compliant with building regulations and fire codes.
