Here we try to give brief answers to our most commonly asked questions.

What is the maximum size ice rink you can install?
Generally anything from 10m x 20m (200m2) up to 1800m2.
We can install smaller but they are generally regarded as more suitable for children.
We can also intall our ice rinks around pillars, fountains and other features.
Contact us with the space you have available and we will be happy to advise.

How much power supply do you need?
The required power supply depends on the size of your ice rink. We can also use generators but typically we use these for freezing the ice only and not for the entire festive season due to the associated running costs.
Contact us with the power that you have available and we will be pleased to advise.
