Thrills at spills

Residential Architect, July, 2003 by Nigel F. Maynard

For floors that are likely targets for spills, EmeryMcClure uses Lonseal sheet products. In particular, the firm fancies Lonfloor Plain, a PVC resin flooring often used for such recreational applications as stages, says Emery McClure, a former ballet dancer. "It's a great product," she says. "It's a high-impact material that will last forever in the kitchen.

It's very thin but has a cushion." Available in 16 solid colors, Lonfloor is easy to install and may be custom designed and ordered. It comes in tiles and rolls. Lonseal Flooring, 800.832.7111; www.lonseal.com.
