VDL Seating Systems – Comfort and Quality at the Heart of Thialf Heerenveen
The iconic Thialf in Heerenveen has been the premier ice temple of the Netherlands for decades. Countless top speed skaters have made history here, cheered on by thousands of fans in the stands. During Thialf’s comprehensive modernization, one goal was central: to provide the audience with the same world-class experience as the athletes on the ice. VDL Sports Projects played a key role in achieving this.
Comfort, durability, and design in a single seat
For the renovation, VDL Seating Systems delivered the complete seating solution for Thialf’s grandstands. The seats are designed with comfort, durability, and ease of maintenance in mind, essential in a venue that hosts thousands of visitors.
Each seat is made from high-quality materials, resistant to intensive use and temperature fluctuations in the ice stadium. The ergonomic shape ensures optimal seating comfort, even during long competition days. Additionally, the seats are easy to clean and replace, contributing to a long lifespan and low maintenance costs.
A grandstand ready for the future
Thanks to VDL Seating Systems, Thialf now features grandstands that are not only comfortable and stylish but also future-ready. The combination of technical precision, ergonomic design, and Dutch craftsmanship ensures that every spectator experiences top-level sport up close, in a seat as reliable as the performances on the ice.
