About Ice Blocks
One of the most important features of a sculpting ice block in Suffolk County, NY is crystal clear transparency for a brilliant shine. A clear block of ice allows people to focus their attention on the details of whatever is carved into it. To retain its see-through ability, ice must be processed in a manner that allows for even chilling and only pure filtered water should be used to avoid seeing impurities in the ice block. The higher the quality of the water, the clearer the final ice block will be.
Ice Sculptures and Luges
Clear ice is sold in 300-pound blocks and should be ordered ahead of time to ensure that it’s in stock when it’s needed. These blocks are wonderful for carving ice sculptures and luges for a special occasion. Since the blocks are extremely heavy, one must have a truck to pick up an ice block at the loading dock and to safely transport it to its final destination. Ice luges and sculptures can be the highlight of an event, and they are always a crowd-pleaser.
Ice Cubes
Besides large and small blocks of ice, ice cubes and crushed ice can also be purchased in bulk form from an ice distributor. All ice products must meet the standards set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to bear the seal of quality from the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). When purchasing prepackaged ice cubes, look for the IPIA (International Packaged Ice Association) label on the bag which means that the product is annually tested by an independent lab for safety and quality.
Always select a quality ice product to avoid impurities that may affect the taste and clarity of bagged ice. If requesting specialty items, be sure to place an order in advance to guarantee that it will be in stock. Visit the website for more information.
