Artificial ice rinks made with synthetic plastics have been around since the early sixties, but over the years many of the early forms of artificial ice had issues making them unreliable and difficult to maintain. Sadly, there are still companies selling artificial ice with these concerns even to this day. There are issues with the use of “butt” or “spline” joints which cause ice panels to separate due to expansion and contraction. This results in open gaps in the skating surface, a major safety concern for skaters. Repairing these problems causes a lot of down time because the areas have to be re-aligned. This is not a simple task especially when you consider the weight of the artificial ice panels, at least the weight of quality panels, as there are some artificial ice products out there that are very light and flimsy.
