- Hardwood: If you are interested in having a custom indoor basketball or volleyball court in your new home build the most popular choice for flooring is maple hardwood. Your Calgary custom home builder can incorporate a subfloor that helps with ball bounce underneath your hardwood flooring.
Consider Ventilation in Your Custom Home Gym:
Air quality and ventilation are important in your custom home gym. Your Calgary custom home builder can help you incorporate window space in your custom home gym to help with the airflow. There are also options for HVAC subcontractors to install ventilation ducts, an air-conditioner, and/or an air filter.
Designing with Temperature in Mind in Your Custom Home Gym:
Did you know that you can have a furnace zone built into your custom home design specifically for your home gym? This will allow you to control the temperature in your space to keep comfortable while you’re working out. There are many smart technology options where you can control your thermostat from your phone and set timers for specific temperatures.
