ASTRO-RINK low-emissivity ceilings are proven to be the most beneficial items on the market for energy efficiency in ice rinks.
ASTRO-RINK Low-e insulation has been used for many decades as a long lasting insulator. It provides a complete air seal, increased "R" value and negates the radiant heat gain with its Low-e qualities. These properties provide great assistance in the efforts to achieve an ideal environment in arena applications. |

| ASTRO-RINK has an elastomeric coating on one side, which also makes it impervious to puck damage (152 lbs. per sq.in. puncture resistance).
An ASTRO-RINK reflective ceiling, scientifically known as a low emissivity ceiling, translates into significant potential energy savings, since the ceiling is the source of 28% of the refrigeration load. In short, the ceiling must be equipped with an ASTRO-RINK reflective surface to reduce the emissivity from 90% to 3%.
Furthermore, a reflective ceiling will reduce the humidity condensation on the ceiling and thus water droplets that fall on the ice. In fact ceiling temperature will be higher, which will delay condensation when the humidity increases. Finally, a reflective ceiling can improve the quality and level of lighting by 40%. Thanks to our many clients throughout North America, we can proudly say that ASTRO-RINK has now become a brand name throughout the ice rink world and the number one supplier in low emissivity ceilings.
