Creating Your Own Synthetic Ice Rink At Home: A Step-By-Step Guide To Building An Awesome Artificial Ice Rink For Every Season!

Do you have a budding hockey player at home who can never wait to get back on the ice, and who wants to stay sharp during the off-season? Have you always dreamt of an at-home rink but can’t stand the upkeep or the cold? With the latest advancements in artificial ice and all-season rinks, that dream is now more achievable than ever before. Give yourself the gift of maintenance-free skating all year round with a synthetic ice rink; the convenient, cost-effective, all-season solution for hockey enthusiasts and figure skating aficionados alike. Skateable synthetic ice tiles are also a great place to start learning to skate and a fake ice rink can be less intimidating for younger skaters just finding their feet.   In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of building your very own synthetic ice rink at home, so you and your family can enjoy skating and playing hockey whenever you want! Step 1: Research & Select Quality Synthetic Ice Tiles When searching for the best synthetic ice tiles for sale, you will need to consider not only the upfront cost, but the ongoing costs associated with purchasing inferior and/or outdated technology. Our skateable artificial ice tiles are smaller, more lightweight, and more flexible than previously available, older-generation ice tiles (as sold elsewhere). Older artificial ice models required the addition of speciality liquids to provide slip to the surface. These oily substances were messy, difficult to clean up, could stain clothing and needed to be topped up frequently adding to your operating costs. Our high-tech artificial ice tiles are a real game-changer when it comes to durability, glide performance without the need for any lubricants or add-ons, and ease of installation.  Step 2: Measure And Map Out The Size Of Your Artificial Ice Rink  Once you’ve decided where you want to build your indoor or outdoor ice rink, you’ll need to measure the space. Once you’ve measured your space, use our handy calculator to determine how many boxes of skateable tiles you’ll need to build your desired-sized rink. The ideal size for a fake ice rink depends entirely on your intended use purpose. For hockey training drills and gameplay on skateable ice tiles, you’ll need more space. For stationary stick-handling drills, you can get away with a smaller surface area.  Step 3: Prepare The Surface  Our synthetic ice tiles can be installed on a wide variety of surfaces, including concrete (hello basement ice rink!), asphalt, wood, and even compacted soil. Whatever the surface, you want to ensure that it is clean, level and free of any debris or imperfections before you begin the installation process. If necessary, use a level to ensure your artificial ice rink turns out flat and even! Step 4: Order Skateable Synthetic Ice Tiles Online When you’re ready, place your order here and wait for your skateable tiles to be delivered straight to your door.  Step 5: Installing Your Artificial Ice Rink Once you’ve unboxed your tiles, begin laying them out according to the instruction manual included in your order. Our synthetic ice tiles are designed to interlock seamlessly with one another, making installation a breeze. We recommend starting in a corner of your rink and working your way across, ensuring that your tiles fit snugly together.  Step 6: Test The Surface With your artificial ice rink installation completed, take a test spin on your new synthetic ice to check for any bumps or rough spots in your new skating surface. If all your tiles have been installed properly and fit snugly, you’ll be gliding like a dream!  Step 7: Enjoy Your Maintenance-Free Home Ice Rink Enjoy all the benefits of having your very own synthetic skating rink! Skip the flooding, patching, and smoothing! Our maintenance-free ice only needs a sweep every now and again! Whether you’re practicing your hockey skills, perfecting your technique or simply enjoying some recreational skating, your artificial ice rink provides endless opportunities for fun and improved hockey performance!  Building your own ice rink at home is a rewarding experience and can provide hours of entertainment for you, your family and your friends. By following these simple steps and taking advantage of our built-in calculators for determining your total number of synthetic ice tiles required, you can create a high quality skating surface in the comfort and privacy of your own home! Give your kids the gift of the competitive edge with an artificial ice rink.   Learn more about our synthetic ice tiles and other ideal gifts for hockey players!
