"I went to a skating rink in a North Carolina Mall and everyone was walking, not skating. I thought, 'What is this? Why is no one skating? Only walking? On Super-Glide we skate!' I see, now, the big difference between Super-Glide and other synthetic ice products, on Super-Glide you can skate!"

Overwhelming Acceptance
of Super-Glide®!
Millions of skaters have enjoyed the sensation of Super-Glide®. Since December 1, 1999 over 100 facilities have been completed around the world. No matter where Super-Glide® is installed, the response is spectacular!
Global Synthetic Ice announced major technological advancements in 2008 that have finally given us a true "skate-like-ice" surface suitable for all forms of skating. The Super-Glide® skating surface is a synthetic ice skating surface with a scientifically engineered density and make-up to allow skate blades to glide as smoothly as they do on real ice, but without the cost of refrigeration or maintenance.
All Global Synthetic Ice products use the same Super-Glide® Ice Blue synthetic ice skating surface. Below is a brief overview of each of our synthetic ice products.
Designed for Commercial applications, created to replace real ice. Any size facility is assembled without any other parts. Outdoor facilities are no problem since panels go together with new "seamless technology" that controls expansion and contraction and eliminates movement in all directions. The new lighter 1/2 inch panels make installation a breeze drastically reducing set-up time. This is the most advanced skating surface, proudly designed by the leaders in the Synthetic Ice Industry.
