CANADIAN CURLING SERVICES
We recognise that buying a new or refurbished set of curling rocks is a significant investment.
While Ailsa Craig curling rocks are essentially low maintenance,
we support you with a range of services to make sure your rink benefits from such a quality investment.
Kays Curling has a dedicated service centre in Canada covering all provinces.
Running and Striking Bands
Two key parts of the effectiveness of the curling rock is to do with the Running and Striking Bands. By monitoring the wear on these two key parts of the rock, and when necessary calling in our services, you ensure that your customers will continue to enjoy playing with competition standard rocks.
In most locations our local technician is available to service your running bands actually onsite at your rink. The cost saving is significant in as much as you no longer need to get involved with the time consuming and expensive steps of shipping the stones back to our manufacturing base.

Repairs
You can expect to have many years of enjoyment from Kays Curling rocks. It is rare but should any rock be damaged or dip from its high performance through usage we offer a full repair service.
At all times our preferred option is to repair a damaged rock. If that is not possible we will offer a trade in against a new or refurbished rock. We will not carry out any repair work to rocks that do not have an Ailsert fitted.
Training
Making curling ice, maintaining the technical equipment and curling rocks is a specialised job. Ice making is a science and there are many factors that come together in order to reach our goal of consistent curling ice. Once the ice is made the techniques used in cutting and preparing the ice for play are all essential in delivering a surface that curlers will enjoy playing on.
Kays offers a number of ways that you can benefit from the experience of our 2 Olympic Class Ice Technicians.
We are on hand to answer any of your technical questions but better still is to review your staffs ice, equipment and how to look after curling rocks knowledge, and if necessary, we will come to you with a training course specific to your staff’s needs.
Invest in the right training and reap the rewards of satisfied and loyal customers.
