About Pebbleheads
The Biggest Advancement in Curling Ice Since 1877
Curling ice has been artificially manufactured since 1877, with the pebbling process remaining largely unchanged - until now. After a decade of research and development, the Pebblehead PB5 is here to revolutionize the sport. Traditionally, pebbleheads were handmade from copper, each varying in weight, durability, and hole precision. With modern advancements in materials and manufacturing, we’ve created a breakthrough product that outperforms the past in every way, ensuring optimal ice conditions for curling.
Trusted by the Best in Curling
The Pebblehead PB5 is trusted by some of the best ice makers in the world and is used at premier events, including the Grand Slam of Curling and the Montana's Brier. When consistency, precision, and durability matter, ice technicians rely on the PB5 to create championship-quality ice surfaces.
Precision Engineering for Curling Ice
Using cutting-edge 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques, each Pebblehead PB5 is produced with unparalleled consistency. Every unit features an exact, balanced hole pattern to apply an even pebble layer to the ice, ensuring a superior playing surface. The ultra-thin dome walls - less than 0.5 mm thick - allow for unmatched pebble stream performance while maintaining superior strength over copper alternatives.
Advanced Material Technology
The PB5 is crafted from impact-resistant ABS and reinforced with an eco-friendly polymer, preventing leaks and saturation. This innovative combination results in a product that is a fraction of the weight of copper pebbleheads while being incredibly durable. Whether dropped, thrown, or subjected to high pressure or temperature changes, the PB5 holds its shape and functionality, ensuring consistency in curling ice preparation.
Built to Last at the Curling Rink
Internally designed with a structural support system, the PB5 regulates water flow while withstanding extreme conditions. You can let it take a beating in everyday rink use - it won’t bend, dent, or fail. Don't like your holes anymore? Squirt on a bead of superglue and drill a fresh one!
