HockeyPractice offers ice mat solutions with two differeent technologies - one solution is based on solutions with PEM tubes and the other with EDPM rubber tubes installed in a mat solution (AST).
PEM COOLING SYSTEM
This solution is the most common solution in the nordic countries when buildning permanent ice surafces. The tubes are put in gravel och concrete.
We are also using this solution in our mobile ice rink solutions - primarily due to a lower price compared to the EDPM mats.
EDPM COOLING MATS
This solution is an AST construction. The EDPM mat system makes it easy to install and deinstall a cooling mat system which is perfect for mobile solutions. This is a perfect solution for rental and mobile ice rinks. The system has two basic systems:
ICE BOX - cooling mats, each mat is 2,5 m wide and the length can be varied from 15 to 30 meters. This slution are used for city square rinks, smaller ice rinks and similar. It can also be used for winter classic events when buildning an ice hockey rink (30x60 m).
SKATEWAYS is built with larger EDPM tubes which makes it easier to built curves which is needed when building skateways. The skateway solution is built by 60 cm wide mats that can be up to 60 m long. This product is used for skateways, skate cross tracks but can also be used for building ice hockey rinks.
