Interior Flooring Manual
Furniture Furniture should be equipped with proper non-rubber, non-staining glides, protectors, or wheels that are intended for use with resilient flooring and avoid concentrating weight loads. Their surface contact area must be 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm) diameter minimum, or approximately 1 3/4 in 2 (11.3 cm 2 ). Use glides, protectors, or wheels that properly distribute the load over the surface of the flooring. Excessive point loading can cause adhesive displacement or permanent damage to the flooring. Disclaimer: Sheet vinyl is subject to a greater degree of dimensional change than vinyl plank or tile. Lonseal accepts no responsibility for dimensional changes to its flooring that is cut into shapes, not properly acclimated, or cut outside recommended environmental conditions. The amount of change will depend on the environment in which the flooring is cut versus the environment in which it is installed. Keeping the material acclimated in similar, if not the same, environments can help reduce or eliminate this natural occurrence, as can cutting the material slightly larger than needed, and trimming to the correct size just prior to installation. Disclaimer: Lonseal is not responsible for damage resulting from the use of improperly designed, inadequate, or inappropriate floor protection devices, rolling-type casters, or wheels. Any warranty for these products rests with the appliance, equipment, or furniture manufacturer. Always confirm with the manufacturer that the rolling-type casters or wheels used on their appliances, equipment, or furniture are suitable for use with resilient flooring to avoid causing permanent damage. Custom Flooring Lonseal has the ability to create custom sheet vinyl flooring, from modified colors of existing products to entirely new products. Limitations will apply to what is possible with a sheet vinyl product, and minimum order quantities may be required. Please contact your Lonseal sales representative for more information.
