WHY GLOBAL SYNTHETIC ICE?

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.

With a strong legacy of innovation and quality, GSI has earned the trust of customers worldwide. GSI’s Super-Glide synthetic ice is a type of artificial ice surface that mimics the slippery properties of real ice, allowing individuals to skate and practice ice-related activities without the need for a traditional ice rink.

Assembling

Synthetic ice “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.

"I was able to pay off the loan within a month into the operation of my rink. Almost all startup businesses take loans and pay them off over a period of 3, 5 or 7 years. It is rare to have a business that pays off all its startup costs and turn a profit with its initial project. My first installation was a tremendous success and I was able to turn a profit after paying for all my startup costs within 3 months."

"Synthetic Ice has been around for awhile and quite big in the United States. And since in Canada, everyone talks about the lack of ice hockey rinks, I wanted to try to find a way to resolve the problem, so I did my research and between the four companies that produce synthetic ice, Super-Glide was the best. I have tested the product, skated on it and with all honesty I can say Super-Glide is the closest thing to real ice. On top of that, they have sold over 500 rinks around the world and are very successful. Their full size rinks are having huge success." (2011).

"Our entertainment center opened less than a month ago (July 18, 2020) and so far we are only collecting feedback from visitors. At the moment they are all positive! And the children are just happy! In a country where there is never snow, there is now a year-round ice rink! Thank you and look forward to further cooperation!"

IRINA CHEKMACHEVA
Owner of N'ICE PARK Quarteira, Portugal
"The first time I had stepped onto my Super Glide rink I was instantly impressed. Other synthetic ice surfaces claim to have an "ice-like" feel. That is simply untrue. After skating on several of the competitors’ products, there was no comparison. Being a competitive figure skater for 20 years and now a full-time coach, I am always looking for the best training tools in the industry. In just two weeks, I have seen all of my students gain strength, balance and speed on the ice. Within one hour of using Super Glide for the first time, my students were performing all single, and double jumps with ease. Super Glide is the ONLY synthetic ice surface that figure skaters can utilize successfully to make them better, faster. Thank you Super Glide!"
