About Lonseal Products
Flooring Description and Features Lonseal flooring is available in a wide variety of colors and textures, for use in multiple commercial and specialty type applications. Complete product specifications may be found at www.lonseal.com . Composition and Construction The wear layers of Lonseal flooring are formulated to provide maximum resistance to foot traffic and easy maintenance. Select products are available with a factory-applied urethane finish. All Lonseal flooring is a vinyl sheet good created through a calendering process, allowing for enhanced dimensional stability. The components used in construction allow for more pliable material, resulting in flooring that is easier to work with when installing, and improved comfort underfoot. Most flooring roll sizes are 6 ft. (1.8 m) wide by 60 ft. (18.3 m) long with a total thickness ranging from 0.080 – 0.217 in. (2.0 – 5.5 mm), with some versions available in 8 ft. (2.4 m) widths. All sizes and measurements for Lonseal products are nominal. Some variations may exist between the actual product and what is shown in published or printed documentation and labels. Quality Control All Lonseal products are closely inspected for conformity throughout the manufacturing process to ensure they meet rigorous production standards. Color Shading Because a certain degree of color variation can occur as a result of the manufacturing process, all rolls of Lonseal flooring must be installed sequentially by roll number, and all cuts must be installed in the order of their removal from the roll. DO NOT reverse the sheets when installing Lonseal flooring. Lonseal is not responsible when shading issues arise due to improper installation. Variations in color can exist between dye lots. It is recommended that the same dye lot be used within the same space whenever possible. Some products have an inherent feature where the color tone will change depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions. This may result in a contrast between adjacent sheets, even if installed as required. Products with a pearlescent or metallic appearance are examples of those exhibiting this feature. Flooring Samples Product samples are cut from actual Lonseal flooring and are intended to show typical pattern and color. Slight variations in color can occur between dye lots. When exact color matching is required, it is recommended that color matches be made from samples cut from the actual material that has been reserved for the project or stock on hand at Lonseal.
Disclaimer: Lonseal is not responsible for replacement when the color selection, based on a random sample, fails to exactly match the flooring received for installation. Refer to Installer Responsibility on page 12.
Design Applications and Considerations
Custom Cutting Lonseal’s extensive palette of colors, patterns, and embossing provide a variety of design options. For small patterns, or elements like leaves or geometric shapes, templates made of hardboard or metal enable consistent replication. For larger patterns involving intersecting colors, the installer can use tempered wire to replicate graceful, swooping curves and arcs. Lonseal flooring is supple enough to be cut freehand, but may be patterned as determined by the installer’s skill and the complexity of the project. Additionally, CNC or water jet cutting may be used as an alternative.
