Super-Glide Synthetic Ice
WHY SUPER-GLIDE?
The success or failure of any synthetic ice rink depends on two main factors – the quality of sliding and the reliability of the connection of synthetic ice panels.
Thanks to our tireless work to improve both factors for more than 20 years, our Super-Glide panels have the highest sliding quality in the industry, and the reliability and durability of their installation allows them to be operated without problems for many years and even decades.
That’s why Super-Glide synthetic ice has been the #1 choice for professional hockey and skating training facilities around the world for over two decades. That’s why it perfectly works for public skating and home ice rinks.
The right choice of synthetic ice requires a deeper knowledge of the topic, and not just the price of one or the other. Synthetic ice surfaces are not the same, just as cars are not the same. So is the price of synthetic ice.
We invite you to browse our webpages that you can make an informed decision about the best synthetic ice for YOU.

Figure Skating
Super-Glide synthetic ice rink challenges figure skaters to refine their spins and erase small technique flaws. Practicing on Super-Glide ice boosts figure skaters’ spinning ability and increases their overall performance
Assembling
“SLICK” is designed as an alternative to real ice; it is not cold and does not need electricity. Our Interlocking Puzzle Piece Has 55 connection points per panel, allowing for proper expansion and contraction of our product in any environment. Maximum Connection points in all directions ensure panels do not pop up or warp in these conditions over time. The connections are precision cut creating a perfectly seamless surface , resembling real ice. SLICK synthetic ice is a specifically modified polymer that allows the skate blade to glide smoothly over its surface. All skating elements can be performed. Hockey stops, deep edge cuts, stick handling, spins, jumps, anything done on ice can be done on “SLICK”.
UV
Global Synthetic Ice uses premium high-quality raw materials and additives including UV protection so your rink will not change color and lose its chemical stability over time. This ensures your rink will not warp in outdoor setting and continue to have that ice like glide for years to come.
Durability
Longevity has never been an issue, Super-Glide recreational synthetic ice rinks have a life expectancy of 15+ years. Home rinks are passed down through generations.
Seamless Ice
Global Synthetic Ice uses patented Super-Glide "dovetail" interlocking technology to create a seamless surface - the same technique that has been commonly used originally in woodwork for thousands of years. Another benefit of dovetail technology is the simplicity of assembling with the use of just a rubber mallet. Super-Glide synthetic ice rinks successfully work all year round providing seamless ice-skating surface for the best and safe skating experience.

Eco Friendly
Super-Glide new generation synthetic ice panels are made from 20% recycled materials. Zero energy consumed. Zero water used.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
FAQ:Installation of Super-Glide synthetic ice rink
We have led this industry since 2000, if it did not work, we would not be recording record sales and growing year after year. “SLICK” is designed as an alternative to real ice; it is not cold and does not need electricity.
SLICK synthetic ice is a specifically modified polymer that allows the skate blade to glide smoothly over its surface. All skating elements can be performed. Hockey stops, deep edge cuts, stick handling, spins, jumps, anything done on ice can be done on “SLICK”.
First, we do not say we are the best, everyone who skates on SLICK does. With over 20 years of science and technological advances in chemical glide ingredients, pure resins, and cutting-edge design we have created the best possible surface in the industry. SLICK synthetic ice has earned the reputation as the best hockey and figure skating training product available today – check professionals’ testimonials.
Super-Glide is a high-tech plastic that you can skate on practically like on real ice. Super-Glide® SLICK is a synthetic ice skating surface composed of a proprietary blend of polymers that permit a skate blade to glide as smoothly as on real ice. Correct density is very important, too hard and the blade slips out, too soft and the surface is very slow, Super-Glide is just right.
Skating on ice means gliding on a thin layer of water as the blade’s friction generates heat and melts the ice surface. Skating on Super-Glide® causes the same friction and heat, which releases lubricants chemically engineered into Super-Glide®. This sets Super-Glide® synthetic ice apart from all competitors. Older synthetic ice surfaces required silicone lubricants. When skate blades cut through the silicone and hit dry spots, skaters felt undesirable “chatter” that increased friction and made skating harder. Super-Glide®’s unique formula eliminates “chatter” and allows the blade to glide smoothly.
Regular retail price of Super-Glide Slick synthetic ice panel sized 4′ x 4′ is $179.
We do understand how important price is, yet QUALITY and RELIABILITY are and should be priorities especially for training and commercial ice rinks. Shopping by price is a major cause of ice rink failures.
*Facility Discounts and Resale Programs also available.
Tests conducted at Canadian Super-Glide synthetic ice rinks skating 200 skaters per day and intensively practicing hockey and figure skating, gave a life expectancy from 10 to 15 years. Home rinks are passed down through generations.
