What sets the Martire Family Arena apart from other venues is the Optik™ Shoe railing system that surrounds the rink, and runs along the openings from the rink seating to the concourses, and on the upper-level private suites. The moment you enter the Martire Family Arena, you’re greeted with a modern, sleek, and visually stunning design.
Revolutionizing Arena Aesthetics
HDI’s Optik™ Shoe railing system provides unobstructed views that invite you to experience the thrill of a SHU ice hockey game. Unlike traditional railing systems, Optik™ Shoe gives the appearance of floating glass, providing a clean, uninterrupted look that enhances the overall appearance of the arena.
The Optik™ Shoe railing system consists of stainless steel covered channels that support glass panels. The glass is secured in place using a patented disc lock system. The design is not only visually appealing but also highly durable and safe, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as sports arenas.
Our installation process was carefully coordinated with General Welding Fabrication. We ensured that the system was installed correctly and to the client’s specifications. The team used high-quality materials and paid attention to detail, resulting in a flawless installation that exceeded the client’s expectations.
