Products Focus: Flooring
Kayar
Artigo
Situated in Montreal's Olympic Park, the Institut National du Sport du Qu'bec is a 150,000-square-foot athletic complex completed last year by Lapointe, Magne et Associ's. The architects used Kayar rubber flooring in a saturated red flecked with natural coconut fibers to cover the sport center's locker rooms. The Greenguard Gold product comes in 23 other colors, in tile or sheet format.
Architectural Remnants
Armstrong Flooring
Three new designs'influenced by coastal materials'have been added to this laminate line: To the Sea references colors and textures of wooden buoys and clapboard; Surf Side mimics the weathered white oak of porches by the sea; and Seaside Pine recreates the look of lap siding. A commercially rated wear layer provides extra stain resistance, while a denser ¼ core helps dampen sound.
