Synthetic Curling Rinks: Frequently Asked Questions & Buying Guide
How long does it take to set up a portable curling rink?
Unlike other systems that take 30+ minutes, Unreal Ice curling rinks feature a smart puzzle-panel design that allows two people to fully install a lane in just 10 to 15 minutes. No complex tools or heavy machinery are required.
Is synthetic curling profitable for my business or event?
Yes, it offers a very high Return on Investment (ROI). Since it requires zero water, electricity, or maintenance (no chillers needed), your operating costs are virtually non-existent. It’s a novel attraction that draws crowds to shopping malls, bars, and holiday markets, increasing ticket sales and foot traffic.
Can the curling lanes be used outdoors in warm weather?
Absolutely. Our synthetic ice panels are UV-resistant and chemically engineered to withstand any climate, from freezing winters to hot summers. The gliding properties remain consistent regardless of the temperature, making it perfect for year-round outdoor events.
Do I need special curling stones or equipment?
We provide everything you need. Our lanes come with specifically designed curling stones that mimic the weight and glide of granite stones on real ice. We also offer pushers for kids or players with limited mobility, ensuring the game is inclusive for all ages.
How does the gliding experience compare to real ice?
Unreal Ice uses self-lubricating technology that offers a gliding sensation remarkably close to natural ice (approx. 90-95% similarity). This ensures an authentic gameplay experience for amateurs and enthusiasts alike, without the wet mess of melting ice.
