Get on the Court

Care for a game of Pickelball? This popular racquet sport, which is a cross between badminton and tennis, has become the hottest game to hit the court. In fact, so popular that people are seeking their own surface to play on at home.

Luckily, Athletic Flooring Systems is the exclusive Manitoba and northwestern Ontario dealer for Sport Court, an innovative, durable modular court surface that’s engineered to be safer and last longer.

The multi-game surface can be used for sports year round - basketball, volleyball, tennis, badminton, inline hockey and skateboarding in the summer, and then ice skating and hockey in the winter. The company’s surfaces are so well suited for multiple sports they are endorsed and used by nearly every sports affiliation worldwide.

And no matter what the game, Sport Court’s patented technology ensures players are doing it safer. The brand’s Lateral Forgiveness™ and Ortho

Cush™ reduces joint stress and fatigue without sacrificing ball bounce and response, which helps families play longer and safer.

With 18 colour options the courts can be customized to suit the house, or showcase favourite team colours. Customers can even add logos to make the surface their own. These courts require zero maintenance once installed, and come with a 15-year guarantee.

Whether it’s basketball, tennis, inline-hockey, or Pickelball, with Athletic Flooring Systems and Sport Court, it’s game on!

Like any good recipe, creating a gorgeous kitchen is all about bringing together the right ingredients. For the kitchen and bathrooms at this ADR Properties' showhome, the Kitchen Craft team, with the guidance and collaboration of the builder, selected just the right fixings to convey a feeling of warmth and relaxation.

“All these different finishes – when done in the right places in the right amount – can create such a beautiful, comforting space to unwind and relax,” says Kelly Murray-Curé, designer for Kitchen Craft.

To produce that sense of coziness, the team chose Kitchen Craft's Coventry door in thermofoil and used the colour satin daybreak for a warm grey with a brown undertone, and then switched out select doors and drawer fronts to oak frappe. To add further texture, upper cabinet doors have glass inserts in German antique crackled glass. To complete the look, a mix of gold fixtures and handles add to the warmth and bring in just the right amount of opulence.

“The forward thinking in this design was really mixing and matching several finishes within one type of cabinet and creating that sense of something unique and different, all while keeping a balance between finishes so that none overpowers the other,” says Murray-Curé.
