The ultimate home luxury for hockey players or figure skaters may be a permanent backyard ice rink that offers up to five full months of solid, skateable ice. Custom Ice Inc. designs and installs custom ice rinks that fit each client’s space and needs. The company has created residential rinks up to 7,200 square feet that are suitable for training, recreation, and three-on-three games. Once the cold season is past, permanent rinks can be converted to tennis, basketball, lacrosse, or other ball courts.
Custom Ice’s Roll-Out-Rink piping grid (filled with glycol refrigerant and connected to chiller units) is embedded into a concrete slab or sport pad that is engineered for year-round functionality without shifting or cracking in temperature extremes. The company provides tools that assist with rink flooding, ice leveling, and maintenance, such as the rink flooder that places a smooth layer of water on the ice surface by connecting to a common ¾-inch garden hose. Available accessories include rink boards, night lighting systems, NHL-style hockey goal frames, protective vertical netting, ice covers, ice scrapers, and court squeegees.
