Commercial grade synthetic ice rinks, all there is to know

Commercial grade synthetic ice rinks are the most requested by clients. Why do we call them commercial grade? Easy! They are requested for commercial use 100% of the time so not any residential or home use.

In fact, the material used for a commercial rink is different than the material used for a residential rink. Why? Because commercial rinks will, normally, have a more exhaustive use than residential rinks. This is why our commercial grade rinks use our Pro panels and residential rinks use our Lite panels, which are thinner.
