FAQ
What makes a good curling stone?
High-quality curling stones require three key elements: premium granite material (typically from Ailsa Craig or Trefor quarries), precise weight distribution (19.1-19.96kg), and a perfectly polished running surface. Our manufacturing process ensures each stone meets these criteria through computer-controlled shaping and multiple quality inspections.
How often should curling equipment be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and maintenance practices. With proper care, curling stones can last 10-15 years, brooms 3-5 years, and shoes 2-3 seasons. Regular inspection for wear and damage is crucial to maintain performance and safety standards.
Can you produce equipment for different curling rink sizes?
Absolutely. We manufacture equipment suitable for all standard rink sizes (45-46m length x 5m width) as well as custom dimensions for specialized training facilities or recreational venues. Our team can provide recommendations based on your specific rink requirements.
