LonPolaris® by Lonseal® Aircraft Flooring That Meets FAA Requirements

Lonseal flooring for aircraft applications is an aviation industry leader because of its featherweight feature in LonPolaris and other Axis products. It’s more than 30 percent lighter than standard NTF products, and the flooring material’s lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio are most often specified by many aircraft designers and airplane manufacturers. Lonseal’s LonPolaris flooring is specifically designed to support the increasing demands of today’s aircraft industry.

LonPolaris sheet vinyl flooring has been used by airlines, manufacturers, and MROs. It can be found in the entrance, galley, flight deck, and lavatory area of nearly every type of aircraft. The airplane floor product meets Boeing and COMAC material specifications and FAA safety standards.

From a helicopter floor to jumbo passenger jet to a cargo carrier, and from charter helicopters to private planes, Lonseal’s LonPolaris flooring has an unparalleled range of surfaces, such as moisture resistance, slip resistance, sound dampening, and flame retardant that have proven themselves in countless installations. Its wide-width, sheet vinyl makes seam welding virtually obsolete, and its multi-layer technology protects product color and pattern fidelity against the toughest traffic and the test of time, ensuring Lonseal’s resilient finishes are durable in every kind of environment.

Lonseal aircraft flooring products also meet the criteria outlined by REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), the European Union regulation that addresses the production and use of chemical substances. REACH is quickly becoming a worldwide production standard and Lonseal is pleased to be at the forefront of this important initiative.

LonPolaris® by Lonseal® Aircraft Flooring - The Installation Process

1. Acclimate the flooring to the installation location for a minimum of 48 hours prior to installation.


2. Loose lay the flooring in the aircraft. Make any relief cuts as necessary, and leave extra width and length to be trimmed after installation.


3. Ensure the substrate is free of contaminants prior to installing any sealant, moisture tape, or double face tape.


4. If required, apply a bead of joint sealant between the floor panels, and allow the sealant to fully cure per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Once cured, apply seam tape centered on the seam, smoothing the tape against the substrate to avoid air bubbles.


5. If required, install the moisture barrier tape following the manufacturer’s recommendations.


6. Apply a full spread of double face aircraft tape or Lontape to the substrate or moisture barrier tape (if present). Do not overlap the tape and minimize gapping. Due to the thickness of the carrier in some tapes, overlapping or gaps will telegraph to the surface of the flooring. Note that full spread applications of tape reduce the risk of the floor bubbling or buckling from rolling loads or dimensional changes due to temperature fluctuations.


7. Remove the tape liner just prior to placing the flooring. Depending on the liner used for the tape, use caution as they may be slippery.


8. Place the flooring into the tape, making sure to align any patterns at the center or focal point of the installation area


9. Roll the flooring in both directions using a minimum 100 lb. (45.4 kg), three-section roller.


10. Trim any excess flooring to ensure a proper fit.


11. Heat weld all seams of adjacent flooring, except for flooring that is too heavily embossed to be properly heat welded.


12. If required, apply sealant around the perimeter of the installation and any exposed edges of the flooring following the manufacturer’s recommendations.


13. Once the tape and perimeter sealant (if used) has cured, perform initial maintenance.

LonPolaris® by Lonseal® Aircraft Flooring - Cleaning & Maintenance

1. Remove all gross soiling (food, gum, residues, etc.). Take care if using a scraper or putty knife to avoid permanently damaging the surface of the flooring.


2. Clean the flooring with a microfiber dust mop. If necessary, use a vacuum to first pick up large particles.


3. Using an approved cleaner suitable for use with sheet vinyl, spray liberally on the surface and allow it to penetrate for 10 seconds or as directed by the manufacturer’s recommendations.


4. Use a microfiber wet mop to clean the floor. If necessary, a scrubbing pad may be used to help loosen soiling prior to mopping. A blue pad may be used in most cases, but do not use anything more aggressive than a red pad.


5. If necessary, use a clean microfiber mop pad and clean water to remove any remaining residue.


6. Allow the floor to fully dry.


7. If a field applied finish was used for the installation, additional finish should be applied at this time. While 1 – 2 coats are recommended, additional coats may be needed depending on the condition of the existing finish and frequency of maintenance.
