For more than 52 years, Lonseal® has built a reputation for strong, reliable flooring that serves many industries. We offer a wide range of sheet vinyl for both indoor and outdoor spaces, with choices that include embossed, smooth, sport, and wood-look finishes.
We design our floors to be both attractive and practical, giving lasting value at a fair cost. Healthcare providers, senior living facilities, offices, schools, retailers, hotels, and fitness centers all rely on Lonseal products.
Architects and designers across the country specify Lonseal flooring because they trust its quality and design.
Lonseal, Inc., a subsidiary of Lonseal Corporation in Tokyo, was founded in Southern California in 1972. From the start, the company became known for unique sheet vinyl flooring with bold color choices. In the early 1980s, Lonseal introduced Lonplate, the first steel-plate-inspired vinyl flooring, which helped build its reputation for innovative, embossed designs. Over time, new technology gave Lonseal products added flexibility and performance, setting them apart from typical vinyl.
Often called the “little giant” of sheet vinyl flooring, Lonseal has a corporate sales office in Torrance, California, staffed by a team with an average of 50 years of experience. Designers and architects across the country specify Lonseal products because we focus on one thing—creating flooring that delivers more quality than expected. Beyond durability and beauty, Lonseal is also flexible, offering custom options to meet each project’s needs.
