Everything Ice

Easy to install. Energy efficient…The permanent rink-piping solution: Perma-Ice

Perma-Ice is used for sand-base ice-making systems and relies on the same tough and efficient tubing proven with our Porta-Ice product line.

Perma-Ice is pre-fabricated in 4’ wide rolls, making installation fast and easy. Each roll consists of 32 heat transfer tubes spaced every 1½”. Because of the size and location of the Perma-Ice heat transfer tubes, the floor can be fed with an “in-floor, mid-rink header,” or an end-feed header, enabling 200’ long mats. A single end-feed header placement cannot be done with other factory fabricated mat-type systems. End feed headers provide semi-portability. Mats can be rolled up off of the rink floor without disconnecting them from the header.

Perma-Ice is ideal for new installations, for placement over existing concrete floors or for repair of failed rink floors. Perma-Ice has proven effective in placement directly over failed direct-floor systems or indirect systems which have developed leaks from calcium chloride use, or age.

Perma-Ice requires no service in a sand floor and, unlike 1” plastic piping, is easy to repair should a leak occur. And unlike 1” plastic piping, Perma-Ice will not pull away from rink edges, assuring quality ice right to the dasher boards.

Operates with all rink-floor fluids at low-pressure drops
Easy and fast to install, service, and repair without experienced personnel
Close pipe spacing assures no soft spots in the ice sheet
Can be converted from a sand floor to a concrete floor easily in the future
More durable plastic material for greater life expectancies
Good ice quality at the rink edges
Proven by dozens of successful rink-floor installations
Installs in 4’ wide sections for less than half the installation man hours of other systems. Semi-portable – can be rolled off of a concrete/sand floor for other activities
