Casual Spaces…
Playrooms and Sunrooms
P
layrooms and sunrooms are casual spaces that can be as fantastic as your imagination desires. For ease of maintenance, a good-looking, not-too-hard surface is worth considering. Remember linoleum? Think how much fun a playroom will be with a custom-designed theme floor — dinosaurs, woodland or farm animals, airplanes and balloons, games — that delights your children. A playroom that invites rough and tumble play, practicing gymnastics or cheers, needs a forgiving surface. Some sheet vinyl and rubber tiles have “give” in the surface for those not-so-hard landings. If you are in a cooler climate, an in-floor heating system can take the chill off resilient flooring. Sunrooms are bright, airy spaces that can be used all four seasons in some climates. Along with the sun comes UV light waves that can bleach out and even damage susceptible flooring. Resilient flooring with a UV warranty fits the particulars of a sunroom. Marble or limestone-look LVT’s provide an attractive, well-worn looking option, with the modern benefits of easy care and lifetime warranties. ■
