ArenaDeck® - Ice Rink Cover System
If you carry out regular conversions from ice to non-ice events, ArenaDeck® is the ultimate ice rink cover system.
Featuring the original waffle pattern on the underside, it is engineered to provide exceptional insulating properties by trapping cold air below the panel. The unique pattern is highly durable and boosts compression strength for heavy traffic applications.
Key Features
Engineered for rapid deployment and removal, ArenaDeck® panels are lightweight yet robust, reducing labour requirements during rink conversions.
Provides a durable insulted barrier over the ice surface, protecting the sheet from event loads while helping maintain ice quality beneath.
The interlocking brick-pattern design keeps panels secure, minimise movement, and creates a stable floor surface for multi-purpose arena events.
Non-absorbent polyurethane construction resists moisture and odours, requiring only simple cleaning and minimal ongoing maintenance.
