Curling Broom Faceplates – Built for Every Curler
BalancePlus Curling Broom Faceplates are engineered for performance, durability, and customization. As the part of the broom that makes direct contact with the ice, the faceplate is essential in producing friction and heat to influence a curling stone’s path.
Available Faceplate Options
-
BalancePlus Oval – 6″ (153mm) between bolts. Fits most oval broom designs.
-
LiteSpeed 7″ – Lightweight and responsive for recreational or competitive sweeping.
-
LiteSpeed XL 9″ – Larger surface area for maximum ice coverage.
-
RS 7″ and XL 9″ with RS Foam 3.0 – Customizable system with elite performance and replaceable sleeve components.
EQ Technology Advantage
Recreational curlers benefit most from EQ faceplates, which use less abrasive fabrics. EQ keeps heat closer to the ice surface, improving sweeping efficiency while reducing ice damage. This means less effort required for effective sweeping and longer-lasting playing conditions. Please review the EQ faceplate information video.
LiteSpeed RS Advantage
The LiteSpeed RS system makes broom maintenance more cost-effective and eco-friendly. Replace only the sleeve when worn, while reusing the foam and baseplate. This reduces waste and ensures consistent, top-level sweeping performance.
