Synthetic ice skating surfaces

Skate 365 days a year! By using modern and environmentally friendly materials, skating has become more than just a winter sport.

FIDAice skating surfaces are made of highly molecular polyethylene boards which enable top skating.

The laboratory tests have shown that the friction between the blade and the boards is really small, therefore the gliding is only about 10 percent worse in comparison to the natural ice.

FIDAice skating surfaces enable skating in all seasons irrespective of the weather. Installation is possible anywhere – outdoors or indoors With no high maintenance costs. No frost! No water! No electricity!

Do you want your skating surface square, round or in any other shape? There are numerous possibilities – we can adapt the shape of the skating surface and the fence to the space. The only requirement is a rather solid and even surface.

Modern synthetic skating surfaces are the world novelty that has appeared only in the 21st century. First experiments reach back in the 1970s, but all ended poorly. Back then the science and industry weren’t able to develop synthetic materials, which would make skating with regular ice skates all through the year possible, irrespective of the weather. After numerous mistakes, delusions, mistrials and millions lost, at the beginning of the 21st century the industry in cooperation with top scientists finally managed to do what people had been dreaming about through centuries – that is, skating 365 days a year, irrespective of the weather.

Today there are only few factories that managed to transform all the scientific findings into practice, and thus are successful in producing synthetic skating surfaces. There is also one in Slovenia…
